Fulham’s troubles, Manchester United’s resurgence: Talking points from Matchday 26

#4 Liverpool vs Manchester United could decide the title race

If there was anything to take away from Manchester City’s domineering performance against Chelsea, it made clear that Liverpool can’t afford any more slip-ups now if they are to clinch their maiden Premier League title this season.

Liverpool are currently second in the league table, trailing first placed City due to an inferior goal difference.

The Reds have one more game in hand but will be facing arch-rivals Manchester United in their next game, the outcome of which could have a vital impact on the title race.

Jürgen Klopp’s side have more than a week’s break, and have a crucial period after that as they take on Bayern Munich and Manchester United.

The fans will hope Liverpool perform as well as they did in their convincing win against Bournemouth this past weekend.

#3 Maurizio Sarri is in deep trouble

The 6-0 loss suffered against Manchester City will certainly have a detrimental effect on Chelsea’s season under Maurizio Sarri.

Following the promising start to the season, the Italian mastermind has struggled to keep up his side’s winning form and has lost to the likes of Arsenal, Bournemouth and Manchester City since the turn of the year.

In fact, after their defeat to Man City on Sunday, Chelsea have now fallen behind Arsenal in the league table, something that surely won’t go down all too well with the fans as well as the Chelsea hierarchy.
