Manchester City’s dominant 4-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday effectively dashes Liverpool’s hopes of clinching the Premier League title this season.
With the win, City ascends to the top of the table with 85 points, leaving Liverpool trailing by seven points with only two matches remaining in the season.
Jurgen Klopp’s side, despite their remarkable efforts, will not be able to close the gap on City, as the leaders now have an unassailable lead.
This outcome marks the end of Liverpool’s bid to defend their league crown.

The pressure now shifts to Arsenal, who have the opportunity to reclaim the top spot with a victory over Manchester United on Sunday at Old Trafford.
A win for Mikel Arteta’s team would put them ahead of City by one point, with just one match remaining in their season.
Nevertheless, the fate of the title ultimately rests in City’s hands, as Pep Guardiola’s men still have a game in hand over their rivals.
Their upcoming fixture against Tottenham on Tuesday presents a crucial opportunity for City to further solidify their claim to the title.
