The title is still Man City's to lose. JohnMolinaro has more in his Premier League weekend review.
Liverpool applied pressure on Manchester City in the tightly-contested title race by romping to a 5-0 win over Huddersfield Town on Friday night. The Blues, though, responded by gutting out a 1-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor on Sunday to extend their winning streak to 12 consecutive games.
With the victory, Manchester City climbed back atop the table, and enjoy a one-point lead over Liverpool with two games apiece for both sides. City hosts Leicester City and then visits Brighton & Hove Albion, while Liverpool is away to Newcastle United and at home vs. Wolves. Although the Reds still have a chance, you have to think their title aspirations were dashed on Sunday when Man City earned three points courtesy of Sergio Aguero’s goal just after the hour-mark. If Pep Guardiola’s side was going to drop points in its final three games, it was going to be against a tough and tenacious Burnley side. It didn’t happen, and now the Blues look on pace to repeat as champions.
Even though they’re on track to collect 97 points this season, a total that under normal circumstances would be enough to win the title, Liverpool will cruelly have to settle for second-best.James Sharman and the Sportsnet panel look at the two promoted teams headed to the Premier League next year, Norwich City and Sheffield United, and evaluate if they are set up for success.
