How Liverpool have become favourites in the other major battle with Man City

Liverpool and Manchester City are matching each other step for step in the race for the Premier League title.

The Reds' dramatic 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday moved them two points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table, having played a game more.

There will be more twists and turns during the closing weeks, with Liverpool having already matched their 79-point tally from the last time they won the title back in 1990.
