Premier League run-in: Contenders Manchester City and Liverpool's title run-ins

Liverpool's 2-0 win at Arsenal on Wednesday night has moved Jurgen Klopp’s side to within a point of Premier League leaders Manchester City and set up what should be a thrilling finish to a title race that at one point seemed over.

The Reds have clawed their way back from a 13-point deficit since January, aided by games in hand, but are riding a nine-game winning streak as the showdown between the two sides in Manchester on 10 April looms.

But while that fixture understandably catches the eye, neither City boss Pep Guardiola nor Liverpool counterpart Jurgen Klopp will call it decisive, as both sides still have nine games to play between now and the trophy being lifted.

Here, we look at the run-in for both sides.

MANCHESTER CITY

Home games: Liverpool (10 Apr), Brighton (20 Apr), Watford (23 Apr), Newcastle (7 May), Aston Villa (22 May)

Away games: Burnley (2 Apr), Wolves (17 Apr), Leeds (30 Apr), West Ham (15 May)

On paper, City have slightly the easier of the two run-ins – but only just. They have games remaining against three relegation battlers with a trip to Burnley up next (they have won nine and drawn one of their 10 Premier League meetings with the Clarets since 2016) and both Watford and Leeds still to come.

What looks like the most difficult part of City’s agenda comes at the end. The last three fixtures will see Newcastle and Aston Villa visit Manchester either side of a trip to West Ham – all sides with points to prove and, in West Ham’s case, the potential carrot of European football to chase.

There is also a tricky trip to Wolves, themselves on the fringes of the European places, to negotiate on 17 April.

But of course the main focus is on that visit of Liverpool themselves on the tenth. City will take confidence from
