Liverpool can turn the Premier League title race into another nip-and-tuck thriller if they win at Arsenal tonight. But the Blues, despite dropping two points at Crystal Palace on Monday night can take heart from their record at closing out a domestic season under Pep Guardiola.
Jurgen Klopp puts pressure back on Man City after Liverpool FC win game in hand vs Leeds
