Manchester City won their fourth Premier League title despite Liverpool being two points clear at the top at the Etihad.
At the midway point of the season, Jurgen Klopp’s men are level on points with Aston Villa, who have played more games, while Arsenal and Manchester City are two points behind.
That’s despite Liverpool playing against Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Newcastle, Brighton & Hove Albion and City this season. Despite a strong start to the season, supercomputer BetMGM estimate Pep Guardiola’s side have a viewership rating of 55.2%. We have the opportunity to win the Premier League for the fourth time in a row. The Reds have just a 27.3% chance of winning their 19th league title. In addition, Arsenal are expected to have a 15.3% advantage after losing 2-0 to West Ham United on Thursday.
The Emirates won their first Premier League title since 2003. City’s chances of winning the title were significantly boosted last Saturday afternoon when they included Kevin De Bruyne in their matchday squad for the first time since the opening weekend of the season in August. They beat Sheffield United 2-0.
And at Anfield, Klopp will be hoping Alexis McAllister can start against Newcastle United on Monday after picking up a foot injury in the 2-0 win over Sheffield United in December.
