Revealed: The biggest points gaps overturned in Premier League title races…

We are only thirteen games into the Premier League season, but some fans are already feeling that Liverpool's nine-point lead may be too big a mountain to climb for those below.

Most expected Arsenal and Man City to battle for the title again, but it is Arne Slot's Reds who are now winning it.

Sunday's 2-0 win over City made it 11 wins from 13 for Liverpool, while City have now failed to win any of their last seven games in all competitions.

Arsenal appear to have found form again following the return of Martin Odegaard and they will look to draw inspiration from seasons past.

Larger gaps have been undone throughout the history of the Premier League and on many occasions.

Here, Mail Sport looks at the moments when a big lead was successfully chased.

Manchester City – 2018-19

A deficit of 10 points

Liverpool may be nine points clear, but this season will remind them why they shouldn't celebrate just yet.

Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola were involved in a number of epic title races prior to the German's departure from Anfield in the summer and this is perhaps the most memorable of them all.

The Reds looked unstoppable during the first half of the 2018/2019 season as they entered the new year unbeaten with 17 wins and three draws in their opening 20 games.

Klopp's men had conceded just eight goals to that point and were 10 points ahead of City, who lost three games in December with a game in hand.

The two sides met at the Etihad on January 3 and that's when everything started to change.

Goals from Sergio Aguero and Leroy Sane secured a 2-1 victory for the Citizens, which would prove to be Liverpool's only defeat of the season and closed the gap to four points.

And City would then go on to play one of the biggest Premier League fixtures, winning 18 of their last 19 league games and leading the Reds to the title by just one point.

Liverpool's total of 97 points remains the most accumulated in Premier League history by a team that did not win the title, and at the time it was the third highest points total in the history of the English top flight.

Manchester United 2008-2009

10 points short

Another campaign that will be in the back of the minds of Liverpool supporters at the moment.

United were ten points behind their rivals on 18 December, although this was largely due to their involvement in the Club World Cup, which left them with three games in hand.

This was a Liverpool team with players like Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso.

However, the course of the season changed after Benitez fueled his rivalry with Sir Alex with his infamous 'facts' speech.

The Reds had a frustrating run of draws, holding seven of the ten matches.

United, who dropped points seven times in the first half of the season, took the initiative and did so only three times in the second.

Back-to-back defeats to Fulham and Liverpool gave the Merseyside team hope again, and more followed when United trailed 2–1 to Aston Villa with ten minutes to go in the next match.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo equalized before Federico Macheda produced an iconic injury-time winner to take the three points and United never looked back.

Seven wins and a draw to end the season saw the Red Devils finish top with a four-point lead over their title challengers.

Manchester United – 2002-2003

A deficit of 10 points

United made a slow start to the season with just two wins from their first six games, both unconvincing 1-0 figures.

Their form remained patchy and by mid-November Arsenal had built a 10-point lead after playing one more game.

Back-to-back losses to Blackburn and Middlesbrough over the Christmas period meant the writing was on the wall, but Sir Alex's men turned it around in style.

They did not lose any of their remaining 18 matches as the Gunners began to drop points.

A run of one win in five for Wenger's men at the end of the season saw United win the title by five points.

Manchester United – 1995-1996

Twelve points behind

Probably the first thing that comes to mind when asked about a Premier League title comeback.

Kevin Keegan's Newcastle had been brilliant for much of the season, building a 12-point lead with just 15 games remaining.

What followed was a spectacular turnaround, with United dropping points just twice throughout the remainder of the campaign.

Newcastle's form collapsed, leading to Keegan's infamous press conference collapse in recent weeks.

Ferguson had publicly wondered whether Nottingham Forest and Leeds would try as hard in their matches against the Magpies, to which Keegan replied: “I would love it if we beat them.”

They didn't. Newcastle drew the last two and finished four points behind the champions.

Manchester United – 1992-1993

Twelve points behind

United appear again on this list, with Sir Alex's teams having a habit of chasing teams.

The first example of this occurred during the first Premier League season, when United finished in seventh place in December.

Norwich City were 12 points above the Red Devils, but the arrival of Eric Cantona in November sparked a revival.

United had climbed to the top by mid-January, while Norwich went on a six-match winless run that started with a defeat to their title rivals.

Fergie's men eventually ran away with it, winning their last seven games and finishing the season clear with 10 points. Their first title in 26 years and the start of a dynasty.

Arsenal – 1997-1998

A deficit of 13 points

Arsenal have become somewhat synonymous with the word 'bottlers' over the years, so it may come as a surprise that they hold the record for the largest points deficit overcome on the way to a title.

And they did so by closing the gap with old rivals Man United in the 1997-1998 season.

Despite having a game in hand, the Gunners trailed by 13 points in December after a run that had seen them win just twice in eight games.

Their form changed after Christmas as they remained unbeaten in 18 matches, winning 15 of them.

The North London cub lost their last two matches, but by that point the title had already been sealed.

Ultimately, they finished one point clear, with Arsène Wenger lifting the trophy in his first season at the club.

Then 13 points, today they are nine points behind Liverpool….
