Even in the season where Liverpool beat them to the title, 2019-20, City had a better record over the last 10 games. And while that may be because the Reds had the Premier League already sewn up, some believe Klopp’s side were showing signs of real fatigue by the end of February, when they lost to Watford. With the arrival of the exciting Luis Diaz, Firmino has started just three of the games in that remarkable nine-match Premier League winning streak. It is not just Firmino though, whose energy may prove crucial in matching City over these remaining “nine finals” in the most exciting Premier League title race since, well, 2018-19. Liverpool have the top three scorers in the Premier League, in Salah, Jota and Mane.
