How Etihad showdown and 11mm decided 2018-19 title

Liverpool take on Man City in a table-topping clash on Sunday at the Etihad, scene of their pulsating title decider three years ago - will it be just as pivotal an encounter this time?

In January 2019, though, it was Pep Guardiola's side who were the hunters in a role reversal to this season, when City led Liverpool by 14 points in mid-January, albeit having played two games more than their rivals.

Back then, the Reds arrived in Eastlands holding a healthy seven-point lead after an unbeaten start to their Premier League campaign.

In contrast the champions, as they were back then as well, had suffered a recent slip-up in their title defence, losing at Chelsea and Leicester City and surprisingly 3-2 at home to Crystal Palace in December to seemingly had the title initiative to Liverpool.
