Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are five points clear of Manchester City at the moment.
Manchester City’s shock defeat to Norwich City on Saturday evening means that Liverpool are now five points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
While Liverpool came from a goal down to get the better of Newcastle United 3-1 at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, in the evening, City went down 3-2 to Norwich at Carrow Road.
Title race
The Reds and the Citizens are the two main contenders for the Premier League title this season, and the gap between the Merseyside outfit and Pep Guardiola’s side is considerable even at this stage of the campaign.
After all, Liverpool and City are unlikely to drop too many points, and the title race could come down to the two sides’ matches against each other.
Former City striker Paul Dickov has praised Norwich on Twitter for the result, but he has also reminded City and Liverpool fans what happened last season.
Catching up
On January 3, 2019, when Liverpool came to the Etihad Stadium, Jurgen Klopp’s side were as many as seven points clear at the top of the league table, as reported by BBC Sport.
In the end, it was City who won the league title for the second successive season by a point.
