When fans have to wait for the last day to know for certain who the champions are, that is when they have seen something extraordinary.
It was only their second defeat of the season in all competitions for the Reds as Ademola Lookman’s 59th-minute strike separated the sides.
The biggest blow will be in form of the Portuguese playmaker - Bruno Fernandes. He will be unavailable due to a one-match suspension.
The Red Devils had 68% possession against Everton on Saturday but were largely wasteful in the attacking third.
Manchester City are on 73 points and are one point and a place above second-placed Liverpool, with both teams playing 30 matches till now.
Fernandes played an important role in helping United finish third in the Premier League and reach the semifinals of the FA Cup and the Europa League.
