Liverpool are still leading the Premier League standings with a total of 80 points , but the position will not mean much for the Reds when Manchester City are three points behind them continue to win the rest of the season . Even if Liverpool can continue to win games the rest , City remain the leading teams in the hunt for the Premier League title on goal difference .

Liverpool currently collecting 80 points from 36 games and followed that Chelsea had 78 points with a total of the same game . City itself was still in third place with 77 points, but the new collection plays 35 games . While the existing goal difference , Liverpool has a surplus of 50 goals ( 96-46 ) , Chelsea surplus of 43 goals ( 69-26 ) , and the City is much better between them with a surplus of 58 goals ( 93-35 ) . That means , if City can win their three games then the final point total owned Manchester City is 86 points . Likewise with Liverpool that would collect 86 points if you can win in their last two games , but if things do not change , then the City will be champions this season with a goal difference better than Liverpool . Certainly not a difference of eight goals in the competition a little distance as restrictive as the Premier League .

So , what should be done by Liverpool to change the situation ? There are at least two ways to be able to play for Liverpool this time the situation is actually even harming them after losing to Chelsea by a score of 0-2 .

The first is to defeat two opponents the rest of them are Crystal Palace and Newcastle United with a goal as much as possible , hoping City can only edged out their opponents . By doing so , Liverpool hopes to have a better goal difference than City .

Second City is hoping to slip in their remaining games . Liverpool Hope is still there because next week the City will travel to Everton , the team still has an interest gain entry to the Champions League next season . While the other two opponents are the rest of the City Aston Villa and West Ham United , two teams who feels too much can not be expected to tackle by Liverpool City .

Chelsea? Although it is ranked second , their championship chances are actually much thinner than the Liverpool and City . If both competitors were winning games remaining , Chelsea actually had to go down to third , whatever results they achieved in the last two games .

Here are the top three candidates champions Premier League 2013-2014:

NO	Team Name	P	W	D	L	F	A	GD	Pts
1	Liverpool	36	25	5	6	96	46	50	80
2	Chelsea	36	24	6	6	69	26	43	78
3	Manchester City	35	24	5	6	93	35	58	77

Here is a picture of the final position of the three teams in the final standings Premier League, assuming all three have always won with a score of 1-0 over their respective opponents in the remaining games this season:

NO	Team Name	P	W	D	L	F	A	GD	Pts
