The Premier League table remains tightly contested, with just two points separating Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool.
Manchester City reclaimed the top spot after a convincing win over Luton, while Liverpool and Arsenal suffered setbacks against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, respectively.
The once-promising title race, described by Paul Merson as the best ever, now sees Arsenal's chances deemed "100 per cent" over by some pundits after their defeat to Villa.
Liverpool's recent dip in form, including a loss to Crystal Palace and a shock defeat in the Europa League, has shifted momentum in favor of Manchester City.
According to a report by sky sports news, However, with only six games remaining, the title race remains unpredictable, and one unexpected result could alter the landscape once again.
Statistically, this season's title race is among the closest ever, with only two points or fewer separating the top three teams after 32 games. Arsenal currently leads the battle for goal difference, followed by Manchester City and Liverpool.
In terms of form, Manchester City holds the edge with an average return of 2.2 points per game in their last five league outings, compared to Arsenal and Liverpool.
Guardiola's side, unbeaten since December, possesses unrivaled strength in depth, which has been evident even without key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland earlier in the season.
However, challenges lie ahead for Manchester City. No team has ever won four consecutive league titles, and their defensive vulnerabilities this season could pose a threat. Arsenal, despite a setback against Villa, have displayed defensive prowess and a strong resurgence after a dip in form over the festive period.
Liverpool, on the other hand, faces questions about their ability to maintain momentum after recent losses. With the title race heating up, all three teams must navigate through the remaining fixtures with precision and resilience to secure the coveted Premier League trophy.
According to Opta's supercomputer, Manchester City is currently the frontrunner to clinch the title, boasting a 68.1% chance of victory. Nevertheless, there remains a collective 32% chance between Arsenal (20.1%) and Liverpool (11.8%) to challenge City's pursuit of a record fourth title. Liverpool's upcoming fixture against Fulham on April 21, broadcasted live on Sky Sports, becomes crucial as Klopp's side seeks to secure three points and improve their standing in the title race.
