JAMIE REDKNAPP has picked the TWO key games that he believes will decide where the title ends up.
And they both involve his former club Tottenham.
Premier League champions Manchester City closed the gap on Arsenal to a point at the top by thumping Brighton 4-0 last night.
Crucially, Pep Guardiola’s men also have a game in hand on their rivals.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s hopes of winning the league in Jurgen Klopp’s farewell campaign suffered a crushing blow as they were beaten 2-0 at Everton 24 hours earlier.

That left them two points behind City having played a game more.
The thrilling title race continues at full steam this weekend when Arsenal travel to neighbours Spurs in the North London derby.
Redknapp believes if they win there then they will go all the way to the end with a 100 per cent record - but that still might not be enough to catch the Cityzens.
And he says that it is Spurs that will have the biggest say in the race to be champs as they still have all three contenders left to play.
The ex-England midfielder told Sky Sports: “Tottenham have a massive part to play don’t they?

“They’ve obviously going to play Arsenal on Sunday which is going to be a huge game.
“We’ve only got to look at what happened yesterday… with derby matches anything is possible.
“If Arsenal can navigate that one and get three points, I think they win all their games. Then it’s just a question of if Manchester City were to just slip up once and by slipping up I mean a draw. Then it’ll be Arsenal’s title.”
Redknapp continued: “Tottenham have got a home game against Manchester City as well. They’ve got a good record against them.

“Man City are rightly favourites. I’ve not always agreed with the Opta stats, but they are rightly favourites because they’ve got the history, they know how to do it.
“But I do believe that Arsenal are going to keep them so honest I really do. But I just point to the Tottenham game on Sunday because that’s the big one for me.
“If they win that, Arsenal win the rest of their games.”
Redknapp was joined in the Sky Sports studio by former Arsenal and Man City full-back Gael Clichy.
And the Frenchman also backed Spurs to have the biggest impact on where the trophy ends up.
Clichy said: “Tottenham can really change the course of the race. If Arsenal goes and wins away this puts pressure on City.
“But I don’t see City dropping points against [Nottingham] Forest, against Wolverhampton, against Fulham, but I see them struggling against Tottenham.
“So Tottenham will have a massive say the title race but again that first game, Arsenal against Tottenham will be the big one.”
