Another exciting round of matches awaits Premier League fans in Gameweek 20. Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool is looking good for a first ever league title in the Premier League era. The Reds have been immaculate this season, and they remain unbeaten after 19 games (the first round).
Manchester City’s implosion has helped Liverpool’s cause. The defending champions were ahead by 2 points as recently as Gameweek 15. However, a run of 3 losses in four games has derailed Pep Guardiola’s men.
Tottenham Hotspur has stepped into the title fray in recent weeks, and Mauricio Pochettino’s side is yet to record a draw this season, recording 15 wins from 19 games.
