Manchester City beating Liverpool to the title on the final day of the season is far from a foregone conclusion.
That is the opinion of former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov ahead of the last round of Premier League matches.
City are one point clear at the top but should they draw or lose at home to Aston Villa then Liverpool would move into pole position and lift the championship with victory at home to Wolves.

Pep Guardiola's side are strong favourites to retain the crown they won last season.
But Betfair Ambassador Berbatov, in an exclusive interview with Sportsmail, said: "I think everything is possible when it comes to big games and the Premier League.
"It was a major boost for City that Liverpool dropped points (at home to Tottenham Hotspur). But nothing is finished yet. If someone can stop them it’s Liverpool. Even though you’re Man City, the opposition always plays 100 per cent against you and it’s up to them now, when they have that lead, to keep it and not drop points.
"But at the same time we have witnessed major upsets in the Premier League. Every team can drop points even if you’re City or Liverpool. It doesn’t matter. So it’s not finished yet."
An intriguing subplot is that Villa, who are 14th and clear from relegation, are managing by Anfield legend Steven Gerrard.
Gerrard said on the eve of his side's trip to the Etihad: "We’ve got three massive points to play for, we’ve got an opportunity to finish the season on a high. It would be nice if we can reward our supporters with something at the weekend.
"In terms of Liverpool, I totally understand and respect the external noise and the questions that have been coming my way for some time. They’re involved in a title race, and I spent a lot of time there.
"It is disappointing when people mention integrity and aim it towards me or Aston Villa or any of my players. We’ll go out at the weekend and give it everything we’ve got to try and get points for Aston Villa and our supporters. If that inevitably helps Liverpool, fantastic. But my priority is to try and get points for Aston Villa."
