The Premier League title race is wide open once again. The battle at the top has reignited following back-to-back setbacks for Arne Slot’s Liverpool, who were held to draws against Everton in the Merseyside derby and Aston Villa. Now, all eyes turn to Manchester City vs. Liverpool, set to take place at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday at 5:30 PM. Arsenal, currently eight points behind with a game in hand—potentially closing the gap to five—will be keen observers, hoping for a City victory to keep their own title hopes alive.
Pep Guardiola’s side, fresh off a heavy defeat to Real Madrid, is desperate to bounce back in the league. For the reigning champions, this has been a season to forget, with the primary focus now shifting to securing Champions League qualification for next year.
Haaland and his teammates currently sit fourth in the table, holding just a one-point advantage over Bournemouth and Chelsea. Beyond pride, both teams have a lot at stake, with crucial points on the line.
The other standout fixture on Sunday sees Newcastle take on Nottingham Forest at St. James’ Park. Nuno Espírito Santo’s side, having suffered two defeats in their last three matches, heads into the match sitting third in the table, three points ahead of Manchester City. Meanwhile, the Magpies remain firmly in contention for a Champions League spot.
Sandro Tonali and his teammates currently occupy sixth place, trailing City by just three points. A win at home would bring them within touching distance of Nottingham Forest, currently the surprise package of the season in third place. With so much at stake, Sunday’s clashes could have a significant impact on both the title race and the battle for European spots.
