Championship race English Premier League is entering the final stage. Both Man City and Liverpool understand that they need to get the maximum points to be able to get close to the throne.

Man City has an advantage over Liverpool in the race to win the Premier League

However, the opportunity for Liverpool to catch up with Man City is still there when both still have 3 more matches ahead. An unimaginable scenario will happen if Liverpool leveled the score with Man City in the final round, and the two teams are completely similar in terms of secondary indicators.

According to Premier League regulations, a play-off match for the championship will be held if the two teams are equal on points, goal difference, number of goals scored and head-to-head record. With both teams tied after two head-to-head matches this season, the confrontation factor will no longer be meaningful.

Therefore, the play-off game will only take place when the most “craziest” scenario occurs with the scores guaranteed to create a balance in both the goal difference and the number of goals scored. According to the British press, the unprecedented play-off match in English football history, if any, will take place on May 25, which is only about 4 days before the match. Champions League final.

Necessary results for the championship play-off to happen

To ensure the balance in terms of scores and sub-indexes, Man City need to lose at least 1 match, while Liverpool won the remaining 3 matches. Jurgen Klopp’s army also needs to score 2 more goals than Man City and concede 2 fewer goals.

Notably, according to The Sun, although the date and time of the most important play-off match in history has not been finalized, the venue for this match is likely to be Man United’s Old Trafford stadium. This is definitely not what any MU fan wants because both Man City and Liverpool are hostile opponents to the “Red Devils”. Therefore, the above scenario will really be an utopian prospect for many Premier League fans.
