Manchester City and Liverpool look set to go head-to-head for the 2019-20 Premier League title once again after last season s titanic tussle.
City edged out Liverpool to defend their crown after winning 14 Premier League games in a row in a stunning run of form from February.
Liverpool only lost once in the league all season away to City in early January but finished a point behind Pep Guardiola s side.
Winning the Champions League by beating Tottenham in the final ensured the Reds had something to show for their efforts, though.
City and Liverpool will be expected to do battle for the league again, with Chelsea sitting a whopping 25 points back in third last season.
So where will the 2019-20 Premier League title be won and lost? After the release…

Wales will look to build momentum when they face Montenegro on Monday night in their second match of the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League.
Craig Bellamy s team secured a valuable point in a 0-0 draw with Turkey, a solid start to their Group 4 League B campaign. Meanwhile, Montenegro began their Nations League challenge with a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Iceland, and they will be eager to bounce back and avoid falling further behind in the group standings.
Montenegro
Montenegro showed promise during their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign but fell just short, finishing third in Group G behind Hungary and Serbia. Despite some positive performances, they missed out on a spot in the finals, and now they are seeking to turn things around in…
Having been scrapped last year due to the disruption caused by the pandemic, the Ballon d Or returns in 2021.
With Euro 2020 and the Copa America rescheduled for this year, the stars of Europe and South America have the chance to use those tournaments as a springboard towards claiming the game s top individual prize.
Following club seasons either laden with trophies or padded with statistical achievements – or, in some cases, a bit of both – a few elite-level performances could make the difference in the race to win France Football s famous award.
Stats Perform has chosen a shortlist of 14 players who could make themselves Ballon d Or favourites should they sparkle over the next month

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has been crowned the first ever winner of the Yachine Trophy at 2019 Ballon d Or ceremony in Paris.
The 27-year-old beat Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Ederson to be crowned the best keeper in the world.
Alisson played a crucial role in Liverpool s Champions League success and started six times for Brazil in their triumphant Copa America campaign.
He also won the Golden Glove in the Premier League last season with 21 clean sheets as the Reds fell just short of Manchester City in the title race.
Barcelona keeper Ter Stegen finished second in the voting, while Alisson s compatriot Ederson was third.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, Hugo Lloris, Jan Oblak, Samir Handanovic, Manuel Neuer, Andre Onana and Wojciech Szczesny were also in the r…
All eyes will be on Stamford Bridge this weekend to see if Rafael Benitez can claim first victory as Chelsea boss against champions Manchester City
The Premier League programme kicks off at the Stadium of Light this weekend, where Sunderland host West Brom in the early kick-off.
The Blacks Cats picked-up only their second win of the campaign last weekend with a 3-1 victory at ten-man Fulham.
However, the North East club have struggled for goals this season. The Fulham win could inspire confidence in the ranks though and may lead to an improvement in form.
The visitors have been the surprise package this season in the Premier League and currently sit fourth in the league table.
In fact Steve Clarke’s side could go up to third with a win at Sunde…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp reflected with admiration on what Manchester City have achieved in the Premier League in 2021.
Pep Guardiola s reigning champions sit nine points clear of the Reds, and eight ahead of second-placed Chelsea, heading into the new year after a 10-game winning run in the league to conclude the year.
That victorious streak culminated in a slender 1-0 win for City over Brentford on Wednesday as Guardiola s side recorded 110 points in the league for the calendar year.
It is the most points any side has won in a year in top-flight history, with their most recent triumph taking them ahead of the 107 that Liverpool won during 1982.
Klopp still harbours hopes of catching City in his pursuit for a second league title with Liverpool, bu…
It wasn’t the start that the Jacksonville Jaguars or Urban Meyer wanted, but a humbling loss to the Texans has really increased the pressure ahead of this Sunday’s Week 2 clash against the Denver Broncos.
It’ll be Jags fans’ first chance to see Trevor Lawrence in Duval but they’ll be facing an uphill battle and 6-point NFL betting home underdogs against the Broncos, who looked impressive in their season opener.

After 18 weeks of regular-season competition, we have NFL Wild Card Round odds in front of us. Those are moving fast as bettors break down the postseason matchups to find those angles and edges.
The plan is the same in the playoffs: get the best number for our opinion. That means betting some NFL playoffs spreads and totals now, and waiting for others to move before getting action down later.
Here are my top Bet Now/Bet Later lines for the NFL Wild Card Round.

Closing time. Welcome to the final NFL spot bets rundown of the season.
NFL Week 18 is the last full slate of pro football betting action that matters until next September and it just so happens to be among the trickiest.
Motivation ranges from teams playing for their playoff lives to counting down the days until they can get off the field. You have coaches fighting to save or earn a job and players with one last shot at making those statistical incentives baked into their contracts.
And while Week 18 doesn’t present the standard situational capping spots we look for each week — and many of those added motifs are mixed into the spreads — we still pick out some “spot bets” you need to know before getting down on the fi…
Quality versus quantity.
This debate stretches to the far reaches of our lives, from work to home, and especially at the sportsbook when making our weekly NFL picks.
Case in point: I recently purchased a new garlic press. I know, exciting stuff. Stay with me though.
Before I made a move, I debated buying a quality one for $20 or grabbing a shitty one from the Dollar Store for $3 — which was why I needed a new garlic press in the first place. My old shitty $3 one broke about eight months after replacing the $3 one before that.
At work, I’m always juggling quality and quantity. I want to provide as much insight and information into the NFL odds as I can but have multiple games to cover and deadlines to meet. I lean into the heavy-hittin…
