Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City have been contesting one of the most exciting Premier League title races in recent years this season.
However, it looks as though Jurgen Klopp’s Reds are out of title contention, with the Gunners and the Citizens now effectively in a two-horse race.
Arsenal remain top of the table on 77 points, but Manchester City are one point behind in second with a game in hand on the Gunners.
As for Liverpool, they’re now third on 75 points and have played one game more than Arsenal and two more than the Citizens.

After losing at Everton in midweek, the Reds could only draw at West Ham United on Saturday.
And speaking after the game, Klopp claimed that Arsenal and Manchester City don’t look like they’ll be losing two or three games in the coming weeks.
When asked by the Liverpool media team about the Premier League title race, Klopp said: “I don’t think about it really.

“So, I said before, we need to win our games.
“Do they [Manchester City and Arsenal] look like they will lose two or three games?
No, I don’t think so but, honestly, I’m not angry or whatever… I don’t think about it.
It’s a while ago somebody became champion with 84 points I think, long ago.
“I am sorry, but I don’t have better news for you.”
It’s a shame that Liverpool’s season has all-but fizzled out, and in Klopp’s final campaign at Anfield too.
It doesn’t seem likely that the Reds can now embark on a winning run while Arsenal and Manchester City crumble completely.
Obviously there could yet be more twists and turns, but all Liverpool can do now is pick themselves up and look to do the best they can in their last three games.
