How The Premier League Title Race Stands With Nine Games To Go

Arsenal's trip to Manchester City may have failed to live up to expectations but a 0-0 draw at the Etihad leaves a three-way Premier League title race still tightly poised.

But for the first time in five meetings, Klopp got the better of the Italian thanks to goals form Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah.

The Reds have the relative comfort of hosting bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United in midweek before their run-in ramps up with another visit to Manchester United next weekend.

A local derby away to Everton could also prove tricky, while they face Champions League chasing Tottenham and Aston Villa in two of their final three games.
