Liverpool hasn’t been this close to Manchester City since Christmas Day. The gap is now down to three points in a Premier League title race that once looked heavily in favor of City after Liverpool demolished Leeds 6-0. Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane both scored twice. Liverpool has finally caught up to City in games and nearly on points. City held a 13-point lead at one stage in the middle of January though Liverpool always had games in hand. Tottenham followed up a surprise win at City on Saturday with a 1-0 loss at next-to-last Burnley four days later. Burnley moved to within two points of safety. Crystal Palace beat Watford 4-1.
