(Dan Tri) – Man City will have a great battle with Liverpool;
Will Liverpool help Arsenal stay ahead of Man City on the rankings?
The great battle between Man City and Liverpool is the focus of round 29 when the Premier League returns this weekend.
This is a match that is considered to have an important impact on the Premier League championship race this season, when Man City is forced to win against the Red Brigade to narrow the gap with top team Arsenal (Man City is ranked second).

If they lose, coach Pep Guardiola and his team will likely be 11 points behind the Gunners if the home team at Emirates Stadium wins against Leeds United in this round.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is also determined to make a trip to Man City’s Etihad Stadium to compete for participation in the Champions League next season.
In the last 6 meetings, Liverpool only lost 1 match to Man City, the remaining 3 wins and 2 draws.

Only Arsenal and Man City have scored more points than Liverpool at home this season, but the Red Brigade is only ranked 13th on the away field, and even the bottom-ranked Southampton team has a better away record than coach Jurgen and his team.
Liverpool have currently only won three matches away from Anfield (against Tottenham, Aston Villa and Newcastle) in the past 13 matches.
Can Arsenal overcome the curse?
If you have ever listened to Gary Neville or some other football experts, many people may think that this is the time of the season when Arsenal will definitely collapse and hand the championship to Man City.
With what Gary Neville has commented, especially with Man City’s knack for finishing the season strongly, the pressure will certainly be on the `Gunners` in the final stages of the championship race.

Last season, Arsenal lost the top 4 position at this stage, but coach Mikel Arteta’s team has so far been impressive in how they deal with the pressure of leading the title race.
With the big match between Man City and Liverpool being the earliest match in round 29 of the Premier League, Arsenal will grasp the results to have a good mentality before clashing with Leeds United at Emirates home field.
Newcastle wants revenge on Man Utd after losing in the Carabao Cup final
An equally notable match is the rematch between Newcastle and Man Utd to compete for one of the four Champions League spots next season.

As for Man Utd, coach Erik Ten Hag’s team must work hard in the remaining journey after an embarrassing 0-7 defeat to Liverpool, followed by a goalless draw with Southampton.
Tottenham can also overcome the `Red Devils` if they win against Everton, making Ten Hag’s team most likely only able to win one spot in the Europa League after this round.
The relegation battle continues to heat up
The battle to avoid relegation will continue to be as fierce as it has always been in the Premier League.
That means that although Bournemouth and West Ham are also in the relegation zone, they can move up five places if they win this weekend and other results will go their way.
Manager Roy Hodgson’s return to Crystal Palace when they host Leicester City will be one of the more exciting clashes this weekend, while West Ham vs Southampton and Wolves’ trip to Nottingham Forest are both
Elsewhere, Bournemouth have the chance to pick up three points at home to Fulham, and Leeds face their biggest test of anyone in the bottom half of the table with a trip to Arsenal.
Can Haaland break the Premier League record soon?
There are doubts about whether Erling Haaland will play this weekend for Man City when he previously had to leave the Norwegian team due to a groin injury suffered in the match against Burnley.

However, according to British media, coach Pep Guardiola will be determined to put the Norwegian striker on the field in the big match against Liverpool tomorrow.
Haaland has 28 goals this season and is facing the opportunity to break the scoring record in a 38-match season that Mohamed Salah holds (32 goals).
Haaland will be determined to break the record in his first season playing in the Premier League, and will hope to be on the field this weekend to get closer to setting a new record in the `land of fog`.
