How Liverpool’s next six games compare to Man City, Arsenal & others in title battle

Man City lead the standings with 28 points, while Liverpool and the Gunners are breathing down their neck on 27 each. Tottenham Hotspur — who occupied first place earlier in the season — are fourth on 26 points, while Aston Villa continue to impress and round off the top five with 25 points.

Of course, there is still a very long way to go until the end of the season and plenty of twists and turns can be expected in this title race.
