As Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp put it: "The next Premier League game is a big one - we can't hide from that."
As recently as January, few would have looked at Manchester City versus Liverpool on 10 April as being quite such a huge game in the title race.
When City beat Chelsea 1-0 on 15 January, they moved 14 points clear of the Reds at the top, with Pep Guardiola's side seemingly running in a one-horse race.
But since then, Liverpool have won every Premier League game they have played and victory over Watford on Saturday lifted them to the top of the table, albeit briefly.
