You can understand how both of these sides will be thinking more about not losing this now rather than trying to win it.

Do either of these sides have one more moment of magic up their sleeve to swing the game (and the title race) their way.

As it stands, this favours City more than Liverpool.

City are outraged as Thiago flies in on Kevin de Bruyne and somehow Anthony Taylor thinks it is a Liverpool free-kick.

If anything, Thiago should be worried about getting a second yellow.

On comes Jack Grealish for City, replacing Gabriel Jesus.

Roberto Firmino replaces Sadio Mane for Liverpool.

Fabinho's distribution today has come under scrutiny on social media.

He is one of Liverpool's most consistent performers but of the six midfielders to start, he has the lowest pass completion - 78%.

Bernardo Silva leads the way on 91%.

It is clear to see how the fixture list is taking a toll on energy now. Joao Cancelo has been fantastic and he's screaming for the ball on the left, but there simply isn't the energy from Aymeric Laporte and John Stones to pass it that far.

Bernardo Silva looks to drive past Fabinho and towards the Liverpool box.

The Brazilian's challenge - a late boot on the Portuguese's ankle - is utterly cynical.

Nailed on yellow. At the very least.

This is on the sharpest of knife edges.

A mistake now could be the costliest of the season.

Kyle Walker misses an interception but Luis Diaz is unable to take advantage. Maybe a few tired legs in the Liverpool team as a host of Reds players struggled to get up for support.

A second change for Liverpool sees Naby Keita come on for Jordan Henderson.

Trent Alexander-Arnold swings the corner in but City are able to win the aerial battle to clear.

Liverpool have a corner...

This is how close Raheem Sterling was to being onside and scoring a goal that might have been pivotal in the title race.

Sterling is not the City player who is clearly offside at the top of the picture - he is the one in a more central position.

Mahrez coming on, I have to say that is a good option.

Jesus goes up front, Foden on the left and Mahrez is on the right. Liverpool have to contend with something different; Mahrez is so good at cutting in onto his left foot.

City's turn to freshen up their attack with Riyad Mahrez on for Raheem Sterling. Again, a pretty good replacement!

Joao Cancelo is some player. He pulls out some sublime footwork to beat Mohamed Salah before the Egyptian fouls him.

City's player of the season? He might just be.

The four central defenders on the pitch have seen more ball than most players in terms of touches. But only one man has seen more of it than any of those quartet - Bernardo Silva on 70 touches.

It is remarkable how involved he gets in what is a frenetic encounter. For perspective, Kevin de Bruyne has had 31 touches. Silva is City's dictator out there.

End-to-end.

Gabriel Jesus chooses the wrong option as he charges in from the right. He has team-mates to pick out in the middle but fires a low shot into the side-netting.

VAR conduct a quick check to see if that was an arm that Aymeric Laporte used to send the Salah shot wide. Nope, it was his hip.

They could have mentioned it should have been a corner!

Oh, so, so close!

Mohamed Salah is found wide right by a chipped pass from Sadio Mane. He cuts inside and sends a curling shot that is destined for the bottom corner of the goal until it flicks off Aymeric Laporte and goes a fraction wide.

Liverpool are furious that a goal-kick is awarded.
