Pep Guardiola insisted it makes zero difference to Manchester City whether they kick off against Burnley in first or second place in the Premier League.
Man City have Liverpool FC title edge in a battle of the run-in specialists
16.03.2022 - 09:37 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
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.
Since Guardiola arrived at the Etihad Stadium in 2016 the Merseysiders have undoubtedly been the Blues’ biggest rivals for honours - Chelsea won the first league title after his arrival but since then Jurgen Klopp’s side are the only team to have interrupted the unprecedented flow of Premier League trophies to the Blue side of Manchester. That came to a head in 2018-19 when City overhauled Liverpool in the final stretch of the season and then powered over the line with 14 straight wins, but still needed to secure all three points at Brighton on the final day to ensure they would be champions.
That breathless finish was one of the most exciting two-horse finishes in league history, both sides relentless as they surged towards the finishing line. City have their noses in front again in the current campaign, although Liverpool can trim their lead to just one point, with nine games left, if they are victorious at the Emirates.

If that happens, it will come down to which of the two teams can hold its nerve in the final nine games of the season, especially as the two modern rivals meet in what looks like being a huge showdown at the Etihad Stadium on April 10. The stats back City as favourites when it comes to securing results in the last ten games of the season. In the last five years and ultimate 50 fixtures, they have a remarkable record of winning 39, drawing four and losing seven.
