Manchester City suffered a decisive 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in Matchweek 13 of the Premier League, leaving Pep Guardiola's side 11 points adrift of the league leaders.

While City’s chances of retaining their title now seem slim, there is a precedent in Premier League history where a team managed to overturn an 11-point gap to claim the championship.

Details: In the 1997-98 season, Arsenal achieved this remarkable feat. The Gunners erased the deficit and finished the campaign one point ahead of Manchester United to secure the title.

Recall: Manchester City has now lost four consecutive league matches and is winless in seven games across all competitions.
