Manchester City seized first place in the English Premier League on Wednesday with a 2-0 win over Everton that moved the champions above Liverpool on goal difference.
Second-placed Liverpool have a game in hand on City, who were playing Everton in a game brought forward due to a fixture clash with the League Cup final against Chelsea later this month.
Liverpool's successive draws against Leicester and West Ham have allowed City back into the title race just when it looked like the Reds were set to take control as they chase a first English crown since 1990.
Then, there are Tottenham Hotspur, closely following the two leaders behind. If Spurs managed to negotiate upcoming tough fixtures against the likes of Chelsea and Tottenham, they can sure hope to bring the fight to the favourites.
