Premier League have given Man City two advantages over Liverpool FC as title race takes new turn

Jurgen Klopp knew the score when asked about the significance of Liverpool's win over Leeds on Wednesday.

The 6-0 victory moved Liverpool to within three points of Manchester City, with both sides having played the same amount of games for the first time in weeks. Liverpool have now gained six points on City in two games having seen the Blues lose against Tottenham on Saturday.

However, Klopp made the valid point that Liverpool will quickly regain their game in hand at the weekend as City travel to Everton and they compete at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final.

And while Klopp incorrectly suggested City play first the following weekend to potentially re-open a nine-point gap, City do hold an advantage with the fixture list when it comes to the scheduling of games for both sides.

It means that if City and Liverpool match the results of each other, the Blues can keep their rivals at three points adrift until their showdown at the Etihad on April 10, rather than allow Klopp's side to gain motivation by drawing level on points.

Assuming both teams take maximum points until then, City will maintain their three-point lead until that April 10 fixture to set up a real 'six-pointer' that could determine whether Liverpool have a genuine chance to win the title.

With Liverpool not in Premier League action this week, City can restore the six-point lead having played a game more than Liverpool when they take on Everton.

The following week, Liverpool can halve that to three points by beating West Ham on March 5, before City play Manchester United on March 6.

The next week sees Liverpool play first again as they travel to Brighton in the early kick-off on March 12, with City not playing until the Monday night when they travel to
