James Milner celebrates scoring Liverpool’s second goal against Cardiff

Liverpool have relegated Huddersfield and Wolves to play at home and Newcastle away.City’s remaining fixtures are at United, Burnley and Brighton and at home to Leicester.On City’s run-in, Milner said: “There’s three games left after that (United).“People think United is a challenge, but it’s not the only one.“It’s an old cliche, but the Premier League is tough – whoever you play, teams battling at the bottom.“Go back to QPR (when Milner won the title at Man City on the final day) and it’s not easy when you’re playing to win a league title. Liverpool’s win at Cardiff was their 27th from 35 games and set a new Premier League points record for the club.The Reds now have 88 points, two more than Rafael Benitez’s side managed 10 years ago in finishing runners-up to Manchester United.“We just need to win the rest of our games,” Milner said.“If we do that and it’s not good enough then you have to hold your hands up and say ‘well done City’.“They are a top team, they have done it before and are grinding it out.“It’s frustrating to think we’ve had one defeat all year and it might not be enough.“But all we can do is win the rest of our games and put them under pressure.”
