Liverpool will set unwanted record if they lose Premier League title race on Sunday against Manchester City

After 74 incredible games, Liverpool and Manchester City both face one more nervous 90 minutes each which will determine who will lift the famous trophy.

City are in pole position to retain their title when they take on Brighton at the Amex. Simply win and they will become the first side to retain the title since rivals United a decade ago.

However, if they slip up Jurgen Klopp’s men will be well aware if they better City’s result at home to Wolves they will be crowned Premier League winners for the first time in their illustrious history.

Pep Guardiola’s men are a point ahead as it stands and have managed to claw back an incredible deficit on the Reds.

At the end of 2018, Liverpool were seven points clear after 20 games with 54 points.

It was their best ever return at that point in any season by a margin of four points and, even more impressively, it was the third-best return by any side at the same stage in top-flight history.

In fact, only two teams in top-flight history have recorded more points after 20 games. Only Chelsea (55 in 2005-06) and Manchester City (58 in 2017-18) have accrued more points than Liverpool at that stage.

However, if the Reds cannot perform another minor miracle on Sunday and claim the Premier League title, they will have set yet another record – an altogether entirely unwanted one.

No team in Premier League history has ever been so far clear on New Year’s Day and not gone on to win the title.
