The One Match – What it can answer

A single match, obviously cannot answer all four question that the Premier League answers, as and when it concludes.

But at this stage, when 92 of the Premier League matches are pending, one match can answer the very first question – The Title of Premier League.

Currently, Liverpool has a lead of 25 points from Manchester City, with nine matches still to be played. Though perhaps practically it would not be possible for Manchester team to touch the Reds this Season, mathematically there is still a possibility – that City can beat the Reds in some extraordinary combination of events. (the assumption is Liverpool are losing rest, and Manchester City are winning rest of the matches).

The match is Manchester City – home Match against Liverpool.

If Red win, the League table will look like this.

Pos	Team	M	W	PT
1	Liverpool	30	28	85
2	Manchester City	29	18	57

And this would ensure, under no circumstances, Manchester City can finish ahead of Liverpool, as even if City go on to win rest of their Premier League matches, they will finish this season with 84 points. This is still behind Liverpool if they win away against Manchester City this Season.
