The stakes couldn’t be higher as two of the best teams in English football go head-to-head in a Premier League game on Sunday. With just seven games remaining, Manchester City are one point ahead of their opponents in the standings.

If the match is called the deciding champion, the pair will face a real knockout tie next week for a place in the FA Cup final. Manchester City’s three-peat or Liverpool’s quadruple is sure to end next weekend.
