The match between Manchester city and Liverpool will be a huge contest for both teams. Should Liverpool lose then the top four race is out of there sight. For Manchester city should they lose it will dent their league hopes for the league but I don’t think that is all because some clubs have lost the title from 10 points with just few games left.
Be it a win for Liverpool, i don't still think they have any hopes/chances of making the top four, imo the game is not all that crucial for Liverpool, but the game means everything to Manchester City. Mind you that Arsenal are now 8 points above City, albeit the Etihad club has a game in hand, but if City should lose to Liverpool on the 1st of April and Arsenal beat Leeds, then City would be 12 points adrift, with a game in hand, that would be game over if you ask me. It is a must win for City, and a good thing for them that they play this match in the Etihad.
