Liverpool on course to surpass Arsenal ‘Invincibles’ but it may not be enough to stop Manchester City
For much of the season, the Premier League has been dominated by two teams; Liverpool and Manchester City.Jurgen Klopp’s side may not have been at their best against Tottenham on Sunday, but they got the win, three points secured and at the end of the day, that is all that matters.Liverpool returned to the top of the league after beating Spurs 2-14

A day earlier, City swept aside Fulham 2-0 at Craven Cottage, momentarily re-assuming top spot.In truth, the reigning champions never got out of second gear, they did not have to and thus the race for the title continues.Two points ahead, having played a match more, Liverpool lead the way with 79, while City have 77 after 31 games.At this current rate of point collecting, Liverpool will end the season with 93.8, an impressive figure and one which would put them fourth for most points ever accumulated.

Highest point totals in Premier League history

Man City – 100 points – 17/18Chelsea- 95 points – 04/05*Man City – 94.4 points – 18/19*Liverpool – 93.8 points – 18/19Chelsea – 93 points -16/17Man Utd – 91 points – 99/00Chelsea – 91 points – 05/06Arsenal – 90 points – 03/04*Predicted totalHowever, it would still not be enough to halt City’s charge to another successive title and should they keep going, are expected to reach 94 points.They would be the first side to retain the league since Manchester United did just that between 2007-2009.Last season, the 100 point mark was reached for the first time and confirmed City’s status as one of the best sides the Premier League has ever witnessed.City are the only side to reach the 100-point mark in 17/184

It is hard to argue with that notion really, Chelsea’s 2004/05 tally of 95 had stood for 13 years and looked as if it may never be broken, City of course had other ideas.Should Liverpool fail to win the title with their predicted points tally, they will become the first side to amass 90 or more points and not finish on top come the end of the season.Chelsea had a record 95 points that stood for 13 years4

While many will bemoan Liverpool should they not achieve top-flight success, there are those who will point to the fact that they are the only side to have pushed City close and made this campaign competitive.The nearest challengers, Arsenal are third with 63 points and that was only after having beat Newcastle 2-0 on Monday.Back in 2003/04, Arsenal ‘Invincibles’ won the league with 90 points and are heralded as one of the best, yet Liverpool are well on the way to surpassing their figure.Man United’s 1998/99 side finished with 91 points4

They will also beat every single Man United points total in the Premier League era, 91, in the 1999/2000 campaign, their highest ever amount, but this matters little, given the Red Devils have 13 league titles in their cabinet, while Liverpool still await their first.The title race is still to be decided and you can be guaranteed when all is said and done, it will have been one of the best in Premier League history.
