PL MONTHLY ROUNDUP: Do or die time for Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, etc

April has been a do or die month for most football teams in the Premier League with one’s eyeing for the impossible and others pushing for Champions League football and safety from being relegated.

Everton, who have been struggling to find their feet under Frank Lampard found themselves in a relegation battle for the first time since the inauguration of the Premier League.

Being one of the six teams to have never been relegated in the Premier League, this relegation battle came as a daunting task for the Toffees who basically have a status to uphold and some pride to maintain as their bitter neighbors are on the verge of footballing immortality.

Following a pulsating 2-2 draw against their closest challengers Liverpool, Manchester City retained pole position as the Premier League title race was left on a knife-edge.

During their second tie of the season, Manchester City and Liverpool traded blows throughout an enthralling clash between two Premier League heavyweights. Neither one of them though could land the knockout punch that would have seen either one of them on course to clinch the title.

Elsewhere, Arsenal who were on the verge of Champions League football for the first time since the 2015/16 season have slightly fell down the pecking order with their North London rivals closing the gap between them and potentially stealing the fourth spot from them.

Antonio Conte, who arrived at Tottenham in November, has made it his sole mission to accomplish Champions League football with Spurs, and with the current turn of fortunes, Spurs stand a better chance of achieving that than Arsenal.

PL MONTHLY ROUNDUP: Liverpool Close In On City As City Fall Short Yet Again Against Viera’s Palace

Following a dramatic 3-2 loss to Tottenham in February, Guardiola’s Manchester City were to find themselves stumbling yet again as they were held to a 0-0 draw at the Selhurst Park.

With the draw coming just after City’s reassuring 4-1 win against intracity rivals Manchester United, fans were left stunned as Liverpool were within City’s definite reach for the first time since December.

Failing to beat Viera’s men once more this season, this draw meant that Liverpool would be a point adrift of Man City should they win all their matches. Going up against mid table clubs mostly, Liverpool would make certain that they are hot on City’s heels, setting the two up for a title-deciding match in April.

Subsequent to their league cup win towards the end of February, Liverpool’s 100% record in the league meant that not only do they stand a chance of snatching the league title from City’s reach, but they could do what no English club has ever done. Win a quadruple.

Following their 1-0 loss to Inter Milan at home, Liverpool would then go through on aggregate and on to face Portuguese outfit Benfica in the quarterfinals.

As unrealistic as it sounds, are Liverpool’s quadruple aspirations still possible, or are they dreaming on?
