Liverpool’s ongoing implosion leaves Manchester City a point in front in race for EPL title Globe_Sports
City is a point ahead of Liverpool thanks to its 1-0 win at Bournemouth on Saturday and Juergen Klopp’s side being held 0-0 by Everton on Sunday.The stalemate wasn’t a blip in Liverpool’s quest to end a 29-year top-flight title drought, but the latest in a worrying trend for Klopp. His side has drawn four of its last six league matches to hand the initiative to Pep Guardiola’s City.“[A] very, very difficult game for different reasons,” Klopp told broadcaster Sky Sports.
It’s not only the title race that has been transformed in recent weeks. The race for third and fourth place is now looking more open.And while Chelsea remains sixth, a 2-1 victory at relegation-threatened Fulham put Maurizio Sarri’s team one point behind Arsenal and within two of United, with a game in hand.Goals from Gonzalo Higuain and Jorginho ensured Scott Parker made a losing start as Fulham’s caretaker manager following Claudio Ranieri’s firing.
Kepa Arrizabalaga was back in Chelsea’s goal after being dropped for Wednesday’s 2-0 victory over Tottenham for refusing to be substituted in the League Cup final.“The reaction today was really very good,” Sarri said. “He paid with the club, with the team. Now the situation is closed.”
