Premier League title race: How Man City or Liverpool will be crowned champions

play

There are six games left for the title to be decided. The two teams played each other twice, with both games finishing 2-2, but only one will win the league title by the end of the season.

There is still plenty of time for twists and turns, as City hold a one-point advantage, but they have a slightly tougher run-in.

As he tries to do what no other English team has done before and win an unprecedented quadruple, he has raised concerns about the schedule. The FA Cup semifinal at Wembley last weekend ended City's hopes of a hat trick, but they still have a chance to win the league and the trophy.

Here is a look at how the title race could play out.

Man City were made to work for their win over Seagulls on Wednesday, but they should be able to do it again. The result of the first leg of the European semifinals won't be affected by the changes that will be made by the coach ahead of the Real Madrid game.

The Reds are flying after their win over Manchester United at home, while the Toffees haven't won away from Goodison Park since August. They say anything can happen in a derby game, except when one of the best teams in the world plays one of the worst. It will be a comfortable win for the Reds.

There is a table.

• 1. Man City has 80 points.

• 2. There is a football team:Liverpool.

This is a tough game. On the previous Wednesday, they will host Villarreal in the first leg of the semifinals of the European competition, and then on Saturday they will face a team who have not lost at St James Park in the league since December. The schedule is a nightmare for a manager, and it will be important for them to avoid dropping points.

Man City will play Real Madrid on the Tuesday and Elland Road will host the game on the Saturday. The players of City will get an extra 30 hours to recover. The title race is often decided by small margins.

• 1. Man City scored 83 points.

• 2. It was 80.

The pick of the games between now and the end of the season is the one between the Reds and Spurs. Spurs will be desperate for points as they try to qualify for next season's Champions League, and they will meet the Reds on the following Saturday.

Since January,Newcastle have been much improved, but away from home they still lost atEverton and were thrashed atSpurs. Even if City play their second leg in Madrid on the same day as Howe's team, it will be too much for the fans to expect anything.

• 1. Man City had 86 points.

• 2. It was 83.

It should be a straightforward evening for the hosts given how little Villa have to play for. Villa have lost their last four games and it looks like they are counting down the days until the summer.

The FA Cup final on May 14 will prevent the Reds from playing in the premier league that weekend. Their supporters will be hoping for a favour from West Ham the following day, as they have a good record in East London.

• 1. Man City had 89 points.

• 2. It was 86.

Because of their FA Cup commitments, there isn't a date yet forLiverpool's trip to St Mary's. It's not easy to judge a team after they lost at home to Chelsea and then beat a team in the middle of the table.

Wolves have been impressive this season and this will be a very close game. It could be played in the final week of the season and City might get a scare before they nick it late on.

There is a table.

• 1. Man City had 92 points.

• 2. The club: 89

The dream scenario for Reds fans is that they are neck-and-necked with City going into the final round of games, and that they will win the title on the last day of the season. Villa have lost all but six games since Boxing Day.

The final day of the season at Anfield is likely to be a celebration, with the Reds heavy favorites to book their place in the final on May 28 in Paris. The fans will give them a good send-off and they should win comfortably.

The final table.

• 1. Man City has 95 points.

• 2. There is a football team: 92.
