Manchester City have affected the Premier League 2023/24 Title Race, as their 4-0 victory over Fulham in their Matchday 37 fixture have officially eliminated Liverpool from the title picture. The Cityzens are now on 85 points and Liverpool can only attain 84 points this season. The win also means that the Title Race is now a two-horse race between them and Arsenal, who will be in action on Sunday, as they take on fierce rivals Manchester United.
Fulham never looked like a competition for Pep Guardiola's men as Manchestewr City were in rampage from the word go and opened the scoring inside 13 minutes as Josko Gvardiol scored his 4th goal in last 7 games across all competitions and the reigning Premier League champions never looked back.
City made many attacks but failed to double their lead inside the first but the second half produced 3 goals, as goals from Josko Gvardiol, Phil Foden, and Julian Alvarez scripted a 4-0 victory for the visitors and this margin of victory has done a huge favour to their goal difference as it is now at +58 and just two shy of that of Arsenal and if Arsenal and City remain level on points, the goal difference will come in effect.

Our dream is as we said a few weeks ago when they [Arsenal] lost against Aston Villa was to arrive in the last games with it in our hands, to play West Ham at home with the destiny belonging to us," said the Manchester City manager.
