German Jurgen Klopp's slim hopes of ending his time with Liverpool by winning the English Premier League title were dashed, after Manchester City beat Fulham in four.

Manchester City avoided surprising scenarios by beating Fulham (4-0) away from home, on Saturday, in the 36th round of the Premier League

Jusko Gvardiol scored a brace in the 13th and 71st minutes, while Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez scored two more goals (59) and (90+6), respectively.

With its victory over Fulham, coach Pep Guardiola’s team rises to the top of the standings with 85 points. While Liverpool is seven points behind with only two matches remaining to play, which means that German coach Jurgen Klopp's team will not join the Citizens train even if it wins the remaining matches against Aston Villa and Wolverhampton.

City's win means the pressure is back on Arsenal to respond, on Sunday, against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

, Arsenal's victory over Manchester United would return "Damfageya" to the top by one point, with one match remaining for Arsenal. However, the fate of the title remains in City's hands, as Guardiola's men have a game in hand on their title rivals, with the match taking place on Tuesday when City head to Arsenal's neighbors Tottenham in a crucial encounter.

If Arsenal beat struggling Manchester United, the title race will move to the final day of the season.
