PERFECT IMPERFECTION

SHOULD Liverpool avoid defeat tomorrow, they will become the fifth side in English top-flight history to lose one game or fewer in a season. The four teams to have achieved that feat are: Preston North End (0 losses) in 1888-89, Arsenal (0) in 2003-04, Arsenal (1) in 1990-91 and Chelsea (1) in 2004-05. All four of these teams won the title — something Liverpool might not do. The Reds’ only loss came to Man City in January, and that defeat looks like it will cost them the title, an unbeaten season and 100 points!
