Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool are just one point behind league leaders Manchester City

Liverpool handed Manchester City the initiative in the Premier League title race after they could only draw 1-1 at home to Tottenham on Saturday evening.

The point was enough to take Jurgen Klopp's side top of the table on goal difference, but City can move three points clear at the summit with a win at home to Newcastle on Sunday.

It could have been worse for the Reds, who needed a deflected Luis Diaz strike to earn a draw after Son Heung-min fired Tottenham in front early in the second half.

Liverpool will play twice in the last week of the Premier League after the rearranged fixtures were announced.

The Reds will now travel to Southampton on 17 May, three days after their FA Cup final against Chelsea, and will end the league campaign against Wolves at Anfield on 22 May.

City face West Ham at London Stadium on 15 May before finishing at home to Aston Villa, also on 22 May.

City's rearranged fixture from April sees them play Wolves away on 11 May, meaning they face three league games in eight days.

Liverpool's match against Southampton was rearranged after they secured their place in the FA Cup final at Wembley on 14 May.
