Man City, Liverpool vie for title on last weekend. MORE:

They are separated by a single point heading into the final day of the one of the most thrilling title races that English soccer has witnessed. City holds all the aces, knowing a win at Brighton on the south coast is guaranteed to secure a fourth league title in eight seasons, a sixth in total and — for the first time — two in a row.
"If we are champions, then we are champions," Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said."You can't feel pressure when you do your best." There will of course be regrets, whatever happens. Liverpool's biggest end-of-round lead was seven points at the end of December, and the team could have gone 10 points clear by beating City in early January. There were also the four draws in six games from Jan. 30-March 3 which allowed City to regain control of the title race.
The tension has ratcheted up in recent weeks, though, as City hung on nervously to beat Tottenham 1-0 on April 20 and Burnley on April 28. Then, on Monday, Guardiola's team appeared to be running out of ideas against Leicester when long-serving captain Vincent Kompany unexpectedly smashed a swerving 25-meter strike into the top corner to seal a 1-0 win.
