Liverpool is currently at the back of Arsenal on purpose difference at the pinnacle of the table, following the cutting-edge spherical of fixtures. The Reds had to settle for a 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford, while Arsenal secured an magnificent 3-0 win in opposition to Brighton to cross to the pinnacle of the table. City follows carefully in third, simply one point behind the top two.
With just seven games to go, none of the three contenders are showing signs and symptoms of slowing down. Liverpool faces Crystal Palace this weekend, whilst Mikel Arteta’s side will have to navigate a challenging clash against Champions League chasers Aston Villa.

“As you’ll know yourself, the nice defense normally wins the league and Arsenal is just not giving anything up.

That’s the way I see it.”
