According to Metro UK, Liverpool now have a two-point advantage at the summit following their 2-1 vital win over Brighton earlier on Sunday.

The Reds have 67 points after 29 games, while Arsenal are down in second with 65 points.

City, meanwhile, remain in third with 64 points with just nine games left to end the season.

Keane makes new EPL title prediction

Keane has now weighed in on the Premier League title race as Liverpool, Arsenal, and Man City all angle for glory.

Speaking after the Etihad showdown, the United icon insisted that Liverpool are now the favourites to dethrone Pep Guardiola's men as English champions at the end of the season.

“Liverpool are the real winners of today, obviously winning and watching these two teams draw,” Keane told Sky Sports, via The Mirror.
"Liverpool will be delighted. You’re looking at the table now and thinking Liverpool will be favourites for it," the former defender continued.

Why Man City won't win the EPL title

In other news, Sports Brief also analysed why Man City now face the daunting task of retaining the Premier League title this season.

The Citizens have won the prestigious crown three seasons in a row under Guardiola, and are looking to make history with the fourth on the bounce.

However, City are unlikely to defend the title this term, with the side facing stiff competition from Liverpool and Arsenal.

There are only nine games left to end the 2023/24 campaign.
