Handed a lifeline by Liverpool’s failure to beat Leicester City on Wednesday, Manchester City will now begin a crucial week in the 2018/2019 English Premier League title race. But Juergen Klopp’s side could only manage a point with a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester City. Liverpool laboured at times against Leicester City with their high-speed attack unable to get into top gear. Tottenham are only two points behind Manchester City and will still believe they can yet pull off a surprise with a late-season tilt towards the title. Spurs could move ahead of Manchester City into second, for 24 hours at least, if they can beat Newcastle United at home on Saturday.
