Liverpool went close three times in the first five minutes, as Aurélie Csillag put a good headed opportunity over, Denise O’Sullivan’s shot was turned around the post by goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita, and Grace Fisk struck the upright.
Khadija Shaw was denied by Jennifer Falk in the Reds’ net, and in the second half, the keeper turned a shot over the bar from Kerolin, who had been played through on goal.
Beata Olsson sent a header wide for Liverpool, and City survived a following period of pressure.
Falk tipped over Shaw’s header in added time but was beaten by Rebecca Knaak’s diving header from Alex Greenwood’s corner.
Although Arsenal can still catch City with games in hand, a victory away at West Ham on Saturday 16 May will secure the title for Andrée Jeglertz’s side.
