Liverpool are back on top of the Premier League after a 2-1 win at Fulham but Manchester City remain just 2/5 (1.40) favourites to retain the title.
Jurgen Klopp's side were in cruise control after Sadio Mane’s first half goal – the forward’s 11th strike in as many games – but a rare error from Virgil van Dijk and goalkeeper Alisson allowed ex-Red Ryan Babel in to score the equaliser.
Mane proved to be in the centre of the action again as he won a penalty which James Milner duly dispatched to give Liverpool an ugly, but vital, victory in west London, which saw them leapfrog City.

Perhaps coincidentally, Liverpool also beat Fulham with late goals in both 2009 and 2014 – the last times they were considered potential title winners - to keep their challenge alive before falling at the last.
City were in FA Cup action on Saturday afternoon, beating Swansea City in dramatic fashion, so still have a game in hand over their Premier League challengers.
Along with a cup semi-final for Pep Guardiola’s men, both teams also have Champions League quarter-finals to contend with in April - which means the title race could go right down to the wire.
Extra cup games for City will mean some Premier League fixtures will have to be rearranged, which could see them in action almost every four days between March 30 and the end of the season.
Similarly, should they beat Tottenham in the last eight of the Champions League, the semi-finals are scheduled to take place just days before the end of the domestic season.
Liverpool are in the same boat on that front, given that they are just 2/9 (1.22) to qualify against Porto, and their squad depth will certainly be tested in the run-up to the final games of the campaign.
