      Liverpool and Man City could face off again this season to decide Premier League title – but Arsenal WON’T be involved

      by

      LIVERPOOL and Manchester City could face a title play-off – but whatever happens Arsenal will NOT play an extra game.That one-off drama is the most amazing scenario possible if a tense fight for the Premier League crown ends with two teams totally level at the top.Mo Salah is mobbed after his winner at home to Brighton left Liverpool two points clear at the top of the Premier LeagueCredit: PAMikel Arteta saw Arsenal hold Man City 0-0 to stay secondCredit: ReutersLiverpool’s 2-1 comeback win over Brighton and City’s 0-0 draw against Arsenal confirmed how close the battle is.Jurgen Klopp’s Reds are two points clear of the Gunners, with Pep Guardiola’s men a point further adrift.Two of the three title contenders tying at the after the final day of the Prem season on May 19 seems incredibly unlikely.But if we do get such a staggering conclusion, a list of head-to-head criteria come into play to decide who would lift the crown.Most read in FootballAnd if Arsenal were one of those two clubs, it would be good news for ONLY them.That’s because the Gunners have come out on top overall in their clashes with both Liverpool and City.In contrast, Arsenal’s two rivals are dead level with each other – having drawn their two Prem head-to-heads 1-1.Gabriel Martinelli gave the Gunners a late 1-0 win over City back in October, before Mikel Arteta’s men clung on for a stalemate on Sunday.Most read in FootballAnd against Liverpool this term, Arsenal drew 1-1 at Anfield and then won 3-1 at Emirates in February.It mean we could yet see the most astonishing one-off game in Prem history… if Liverpool and City share top spot come May.Stranger things than that have obviously happened – but surely NEVER in top-flight history.Here’s how it might happen…
      If Liverpool and City are level on points, goal difference is the next deciding factor.
      If GD was equal, whoever has scored most will decide it.
      If the two clubs are still locked level, the team with the most points in head-to-head Prem matches this season would finish higher.
      If still equal, the club scoring the higher number of away goals in those two games would finish higher.
      If, after all that, it remains level, we get that dramatic play-off at a neutral ground.
      Prem chiefs would need to decide the details, including date and venue.

      Harry Wilson says leaving Liverpool for Fulham took his game to another level as he dreams of Euro 2024 glory with Wales

      by

      HARRY WILSON reckons leaving Liverpool catapulted him to a whole new level as the Wales star eyes a Euro 2024 spot.Fulham’s £12million attacker quit Anfield in July 2021 after almost 16 years with the Reds to his dream of being a Premier League regular.Harry Wilson had hopes of making the first-team grade at Liverpool but ended up leaving for FulhamCredit: Getty Images – GettyThe Wales attacker is now a key man for both club and countryCredit: RexWilson, who went on five loans as Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino stood in his way at Liverpool, is now a key man for club and country.He has replaced Wales talisman Gareth Bale as well as making 35 appearances for Marco Silva’s 12th placed side.The Dragons ace had a hand in the opening three goals in last Thursday’s 4-1 semi-final win over Finland to set up Tuesday’s play-off final showdown with Poland.And Wilson hopes his red-hot form can deliver a place in Germany this summer.READ MORE TOP STORIESWilson, who turned 27 on Friday, said: “I feel I have moved to the next level. “The move to Fulham two-and-a-half years ago now was a big one for me.“I’d been on a lot of loans from Liverpool. Although my dream as a young lad was to make it into Liverpool’s first team and play regularly, I knew that wasn’t going to be the case.“When I was 18, 19 and 20, I was trying to get into the team but they had, arguably, the best front three in the world.

His hunger to score is the biggest thing.Harry Wilson”He was our captain, our leader, our best player. To lose his goals and his influence on the team, there was going to be a big gap there. “It’s not just me but a lot of players are playing really well. It’s up to us now to make sure we chip in with goals and assists.”Poland and Barcelona hotshot Robert Lewandowski, 35, stand in the way of Wales reaching a fourth major tournament in their last five attempts and a third successive Euros. Wilson said: “Everyone knows how dangerous Lewandowski is. “His hunger to score goals is the biggest thing.
