As things stand, Liverpool looks likely to finish in third place in this season's Premier League, with both Manchester City and Arsenal establishing a firm advantage.

Just a couple of different results would have meant he was leaving Liverpool with three Premier League titles, not one, with Manchester City a juggernaut over that period.

Going for an unprecedented fourth title in a row, it would have been eight had it not been for Klopp's Liverpool, the runaway winners in 2019/20.

Well done Guardiola, and all that, but Premier League CEO Richard Masters now looks likely to once again hand over the trophy to a side facing 115 charges.

For perennial challengers Liverpool (and now Arsenal), there's a clear interest in a verdict being reached soon, with the competitive legitimacy of the league in limbo in the meantime.

"The case will resolve itself at some point in the near future."

Once the hearing is concluded and a verdict has been reached, both Manchester City and the Premier League will have the right to appeal the outcome.

That's especially the case if Manchester City wins the title once again, as now looks likely.
