For so long, this season's race for the title has been regarded as a three-horse one, but Liverpool are lagging too far behind.
Jurgen Klopp's side conceded a Jarrod Bowen header just before half-time against West Ham at the London Stadium, but Andy Robertson notched an equaliser minutes into the second half. Things would get better 20 minutes later, when Cody Gakpo's scuffed volley deflected off of three home players en route into the back of the net.
However, there was another dagger coming when Michail Antonio headed beyond Alisson to level things up at 2-2. Klopp cut a frustrated figure on the touchline as the Hammers wheeled away in celebration.
In turn, Liverpool now remain third, one point behind City having now played two gams more. To add insult to injury from a Reds' perspective, Klopp was spotted embroiled in what looked like a spat with star man Mohamed Salah.

Premier League odds and betting tips
As for their title rivals, both Arsenal and Manchester City play on Sunday afternoon. For the Gunners, it is one of their trickier away trips of the season as they make the short journey across the capital to face off with fierce local rivals Tottenham.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will be well aware that his side cannot afford to drop any more points themselves if they want to end City's reign of dominance on the Premier League. Spurs need little more motivation than the fact they can inflict serious damage to their enemies ambitions of a first title since 2004.
Pep Guardiola's side are in action soon after when the reigning champions take on a Nottingham Forest outfit fighting for their lives to stay in the top flight. City showed very little sign of dropping points away at Brighton on Thursday, battering the Seagulls 4-0 at the Amex.
