Danger looms for Man City, Liverpool in titanic title race

Explore Business Standard

Manchester City and Liverpool resume their epic battle for the Premier League title on Sunday after a midweek of contrasting Champions League fortunes, with both sides facing perilous fixtures.
City travel to Crystal Palace trailing Jurgen Klopp's men by two points, but still with the title in their hands thanks to a game in hand.
However, the visit to Selhurst Park kicks off a tough run of fixtures in which Pep Guardiola's men host Tottenham twice, play Manchester United at Old Trafford and face a tricky trip to Burnley.
The 1-0 defeat at Spurs in Tuesday's first leg of their Champions League quarter-final snapped a 14-game winning streak and means Guardiola has huge calls to make with his team selection this weekend.
If he has one eye on Wednesday's second leg on home soil, Palace could hurt City and hand Liverpool a title boost.
Roy Hodgson's men inflicted City's only home defeat of the campaign in December and also ended the champions' record 18-game winning run in the Premier League last season.
