The Premier League has entered its final two months, with nine games left for each of the top three teams - Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. The title race is tight, with just three points separating first from third place. Squeaky bum time indeed.
Jurgen Klopp's side now lead the way once more, two points ahead of Arsenal and three above City. When it comes to goal difference, Liverpool and City are only five goals apart, while Arsenal lead by six more, but this three-horse title race looks set to go to the wire.
The old enemies of Pep Guardiola and Klopp drew before the international break, a result that suited both teams given the circumstances. When City faced Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday it was billed as must win for the Gunners but ended up being more of a must-not-lose. Guardiola conceded that Liverpool were now the favourites - but then again he would say that.

Arsenal are two points behind where they were this time last year, but importantly, they were five points ahead of City before a late-season collapse saw them lose the title with games to spare. This year, however, it is too close to call.
Each team has a challenging journey ahead, with big matches and lots of overlap. Add in the Champions League, FA Cup, Europa League, and emotional baggage, and there are still plenty of twists to come.
Here's what each of the three teams has left to face and when:
Aston Villa (H) - Wednesday, April 3.
Crystal Palace (A) - Saturday, April 6.
Luton Town (H) - Saturday, April 13.
Brighton (A) - Thursday, April 25.
