Jamie Redknapp has pinpointed a major problem Liverpool will encounter which can double up as encouragement for Manchester City in the mouth-watering Premier League title race. Honours were even when the teams met in a pulsating showdown at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
City twice went ahead through Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus and had further chances to clinch a victory that would have extended their lead at the top to four points with seven matches remaining. However, the Reds fought back to earn a share of the spoils - with Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane on target.
One slip-up could prove costly in ongoing ambitions to take home the biggest prize. According to Redknapp, there is one fixture that stands above the rest as a potentially defining moment. Indeed, two of his former clubs Liverpool and in-form Tottenham are set to meet next month.

Redknapp told Mail Online: "I find this title race impossible to call, but I've got a feeling Liverpool vs Tottenham on May 7 will be significant. Can Jurgen Klopp's crew navigate that one? That might be the match that poses them a major problem. But what a rivalry this is.
"Some people say City pass the ball too much. Others adore that about them.
"Some people say Liverpool's high energy is a thing of beauty. Others don't think they play enough football that's pretty. It's like the age-old debate over who you prefer between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. But whatever your view on City and Liverpool and their styles, we can all agree that it is incredible to watch these winners strut their stuff."
