City, who face Brighton away, are in pole position to retain their title. Simply win and they will become the first side to retain the Premier League trophy since rivals United a decade ago.However, if they slip up Jurgen Klopp’s men will be well aware if they better City’s result at home to Wolves they will be crowned Premier League winners for the first time in their illustrious history.Pep Guardiola’s men are a point ahead as it stands and have managed to claw back an incredible deficit on the Reds.At the end of 2018, Liverpool were seven points clear after 20 games with 54 points.STANDARD2

Here’s how the top of the Premier League table looked at the end of 2018

It was their best ever return at that point in any season by a margin of four points and, even more impressively, it was the third-best return by any side at the same stage in top-flight history.In fact, only two teams in top-flight history have recorded more points after 20 games. Only Chelsea (55 in 2005-06) and Manchester City (58 in 2017-18) have accrued more points than Liverpool at that stage.However, if the Reds cannot perform another minor miracle on Sunday and claim the Premier League title, they will have set yet another record – an altogether entirely unwanted one.No team in Premier League history has ever been so far clear on New Year’s Day and not gone on to win the title.

That is not to say Liverpool have thrown the title away, by any stretch of the imagination.In fact, City have been relentless this year. If they are to retain their title, they will have had to win 14 games in a row in order to usurp the Reds at the top of the table.Whatever happens, both teams have performed admirably and deserve their place in English football history.
