LIVE: Man City Faces Chelsea Needing Win to Prevent Liverpool From Clinching Title

The Premier League's title race could be done as soon as Thursday.

Manchester City heads to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea, knowing it needs a win to prevent Liverpool from clinching its first top-flight English title in 30 years. Liverpool extended its lead to 23 points with a 4-0 rout of Crystal Palace on Wednesday, and Man City has a maximum of 24 it can secure the rest of the way. A loss or draw to Chelsea would make it mathematically impossible for Pep Guardiola's side to catch Liverpool, so the Reds will be watching closely, much like Leicester City did in 2016, when a Chelsea draw with Tottenham clinched the Foxes' improbable title.
