With the Premier League season winding down to a close, Liverpool and Man City have emerged as the frontrunners to lift the league title.
The two sides have dominated the title race for the majority of the season, with the current campaign seen as a two-horse race, but that doesn't mean it has been any less exciting. The winner will perhaps not be crowned until the final day of the season.
So who will win this year's edition of the Premier League? The Reds will have the benefit of a lighter fixture schedule, but Man City are veterans of winning the Premier League and could very will clinch the quadruple this season.
Goal takes a look at the league standings, key fixtures that could determine the title race for Liverpool and Man City, and more.

A big Premier League test, however, is to come when Liverpool host top-four hopefuls Chelsea at Anfield on April 14. The two sides played out a 1-1 stalemate at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season.
Following the Chelsea clash, Liverpool will travel to Porto to contend the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie. Should they progress to the next round, they will meet either Man United or Barcelona in the semi-finals.
Fixtures against the likes of Cardiff, Huddersfield and Wolves await the Reds to round off their Premier League campaign.

Should they progress past Spurs and into the Champions League semi-finals, they will meet either Ajax or Juventus.
The FA Cup final against Watford awaits City in May following the end of the Premier League season, but not before clashes against Burnley, Leicester and Brighton.
