Liverpool’s record of 100 points in the Premier League was within Manchester City’s grasp heading into their game against Fulham on Saturday, April 15th. However, after a 3-1 loss at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City have now fallen nine points behind Liverpool and can no longer catch up.
Liverpool’s Started to Lose Their Form
Ever since Manchester City’s record-breaking winning streak came to an end, Liverpool has been on a roll. They have picked up six wins in their last seven games, which has put them within reach of Manchester City’s record of points.
However, Liverpool’s recent form isn’t solely due to their good play. They have also been dealt some tough blows by other teams. For example, they lost to Besiktas in the Europa League and Arsenal in the Premier League.
Despite these losses, Liverpool is still in a good position to win the Premier League title this season. Manchester City may have more points, but Liverpool still has games left to play.
Manchester City are in Good Form
Manchester City are in good form, and their recent record of points is no longer in Liverpool’s reach.
Since the start of the 2017-2018 Premier League season, Manchester City have scored 54 goals, which is more than any other team. They have also conceded only 8 goals, which is the best record in the league.
This good form has helped them to win 8 out of their last 10 games. This includes a 6-1 victory against Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City now have a commanding lead in the table, and they are only a point behind leaders Chelsea.
Liverpool will need to start winning games if they want to catch up with Manchester City, but they will face a difficult task given their poor recent form.
Liverpool Can Still Win the Title
Liverpool can still win the Premier League title this season. Manchester City’s record of points is no longer in Liverpool’s reach.
Manchester City has already clinched the title this season, but they can still be beaten. Liverpool need to win their remaining games and hope that other teams lose theirs. So far, Liverpool have only lost one game this season, which was against Manchester United. They are also in a better position than they were at this point last year, when they were also in second place.
If Liverpool can win their remaining games, they will become champions for the fourth time in five seasons. This would be an astonishing achievement and would make them one of the most successful clubs in England.
Conclusion
After being held to a 0-0 draw at Anfield on Sunday, Manchester City now hold the record for the most points ever accumulated in a Premier League season. With 100 points on their belt, they have successfully defended their title and extended Liverpool’s record of finishing second place. While it is still possible for Liverpool to catch up and win the league this season, it appears as though Manchester City are well on their way to breaking many records in the process.
