Key moments in the 2018/19 Premier League title race

Manchester City will win the title with a victory at Brighton and Hove Albion while Liverpool play Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield, hoping they can pounce on any slip-up from their rivals.Both teams went into the game unbeaten from their opening seven matches - Liverpool's six-match winning start had ended with a 1-1 draw at Chelsea, while City had the same record after a 1-1 draw at Wolves in August.

Klopp’s side rose to the challenge with two second-half goals from substitute Xherdan Shaqiri giving them a comfortable win in the North West derby and moving them a point ahead of City in the table.City went into this Boxing Day clash at the King Power stadium on the back of two recent defeats.

Klopp's side came into the match knowing a victory would have sent them 10 points clear of City but they left the Etihad with their lead cut to four. Sergio Aguero put City ahead but Liverpool drew level after the break through a Firmino header. Leroy Sane, however, drove home a 72nd-minute winner for City.Liverpool stuttered for the second time in six days at London Stadium following their 1-1 draw with Leicester City.

Mane scored his ninth league goal in as many games to open the scoring in the 26th minute. A rare error from Virgil van Dijk gifted former Liverpool winger Ryan Babel an equaliser but a James Milner penalty made sure of the three points and left Klopp's team two ahead of City, who had a game in hand.Having been knocked out of the Champions League by Spurs in dramatic fashion in their quarter-final in midweek, all eyes were on City to see if they could hold their nerve on the domestic front.
