The Reds succeeded in keeping their one-point advantage over the reigning Premier League champions, Man City thanks to the imperious display at Anfield, where Sadio Mané and Virgil van Dijk both scored twice and Divock Origi was unexpectedly also on the scoresheet.
The Citizens, on the other hand were unmatched in their face-off with West Ham United, winning by a single goal scored from a questionable penalty.
Pablo Zabaleta, City's ex-full-back appears to be hopeful Guardiola's team will secure the Prem title ahead of Liverpool:
"I hope Manchester City [can lift the title], I wish they can win it but I know it is going to be tough," Zabaleta said talking to Sky Sports.
"Liverpool look like they are also very focused on the Premier League, so it looks like it's going to be between Manchester City and Liverpool until the end
"But obviously all I wish is Manchester City to win. They have three competitions to play for and hopefully they can win all of them."
