Premier League title race: Statistics show how Liverpool have gone wrong after opening up 10-point lead over Manchester City
Liverpool raced out of the traps at the start of the season, establishing their status as firm title contenders after seven straight wins.After 20 games the signs looked even more promising, holding a 10-point lead over the current reigning champions Manchester City.2

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are one point ahead of Liverpool in the title race

The Reds had won 17 and drawn their other three games up until that point, with City then languishing in third.Following their 5-1 demolition of Arsenal at Anfield in their final game of 2018, they were also nine points clear of Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham in second.But it has been far from plain sailing for Jurgen Klopp’s men since, winning as many games as they have lost (four) over a nine-game period.2

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds were 10 points clear of champions City after 20 games

Since December 29, Klopp’s men have scored 25% fewer goals per game and conceded 50% more on average in each match.City’s goal per game ratio has also slightly dropped in that period, but more crucially they have won all but one of their last 10 matches.Take a look below at the two sides’ head-to-head records up to and after the Reds established their sizeable lead at the summit.
