The title race has come down to two with Manchester City and Liverpool battling it out to be champions of England. Pep Guardiola's side are the current holders, with the Reds looking to regain the crown they won in 2019/20.
Liverpool remain in the hunt for a famous quadruple, but are now four points behind City in the Premier League table, with a game in hand.
If City, whose sole focus is on the league after a dramatic defeat by Real Madrid, win on the final day, then Liverpool have no chance of catching them, but, a City slip-up at home to Aston Villa this Sunday - after dropping points at West Ham last Sunday - coupled with Liverpool winning both their remaining games would see the Reds win the title .
