Man City fixtures

Follow live text and BBC Radio 5 Live commentary from Saturday's six Premier League games, starting with Newcastle v Liverpool.

Leeds started with a lot of intensity. City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan to Sky Sports: "It was a huge test. Man City boss Pep Guardiola talking to Sky Sports: "We knew coming here the way they play, we suffered a lot in the first half. It is a long season and this is the last effort." We need to be ready for the challenge." "The pressure is always on from this point of the season. On whether Liam Cooper's injury changed things: "It did a little bit but we were able to adjust quickly. I feel it on the streets, in the stadium. "There’s a lot of tough games to play. It was a joy to be here for the first time." They had some transitions in the last 25 minutes, but we played a really good game. A lot of good stuff from us."

Manchester City earned a 4-0 win over Leeds United as Pep Guardiola's side continue their title tussle with Liverpool.

We have the semi-final with Madrid in four days and then after the last four games in the Premier League." It's a message Guardiola was keen to reinforce after the full-time whistle, hammering home that Liverpool are not the side capable of controlling their own destiny. Jurgen Klopp's side were temporarily top of the pile after victory at Newcastle United, though now trail City by a single point once again.

Liverpool momentarily leapfrogged Manchester City in the Premier League table before the reigning champions regained top spot with an emphatic win over ...

Maximum points are not a given for Liverpool either as they arguably have the hardest fixture in the run-in, hosting Tottenham next weekend. Key players could be rested but first, they'll need to overturn a 2-1 deficit as Eintracht Frankfurt have the upper hand in the semi-final tie. The Magpies are in brilliant form and gave the Reds a run for their money in Saturday's lunchtime game.

Liverpool are a point behind Man City again in the Premier League title race after Pep Guardiola's side won against Leeds. Both sides have four fixtures to ...

Liverpool can only win their own fixtures and see where they ultimately end up. Manchester City face Newcastle (H), Wolves, West Ham (both away) and Aston Villa (H). It would be no great shock to see both sides win all of those fixtures, and that scenario would see Liverpool lose out on the title by a point once again.

In come Jack Grealish, Nathan Ake, Joao Cancelo, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan, while Oleks Zinchenko, Riyad Mahrez, Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo all ...

- After a run of seven defeats and one draw in eight Premier League games, Leeds are now unbeaten in their last five. - City remain unbeaten away from home in the Premier League since a 1-0loss at Tottenham on the opening weekend (W12 D3 since). The Citizens have kept a clean sheet in each of their last four on the road – they’ve never gone five consecutive away league games without conceding before. - City won the reverse fixture 7-0 against Leeds – there are three occasions of the Citizens scoring 10+ goals against an opponent within a single Premier League season; Watford in 2019-20 (12), Norwich in 2011-12 (11) and Tottenham in 2013-14 (11).

Neither club has shown any sign of slipping up with just a point separating them ahead of the final four games of the season.

But both will be acutely aware that any misstep is almost certain to be punished, which makes for a fascinating final few weeks. Once those games are out of the way, they will each look to two of their hardest remaining fuxtures. By the time these two could next be in action, they may have a Champions League final meeting to look forward to as well. I haven’t thought a second until now about City, but immediately about Villarreal.” Lesser squads would have crumbled against a Newcastle side that has won six on the spin at home, but not this Liverpool team, who held their nerve to earn a priceless 1-0 win thanks to Naby Keita’s first-half goal. Jurgen Klopp took a calculated risk with his team selection at St James’ Park, by removing Mo Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara and Ibrahima Konate from his starting line-up.

Liverpool and Man City both have four fixtures left in the Premier League. There is one slight edge that Pep Guardiola was asked about that the Reds can ...

Strictly speaking, of course, Guardiola is right: nothing changes in terms of what Manchester City (or Liverpool) have to do. The smart money is on both sides winning all of their four remaining fixtures. "We have been in this position many times in the past and now in the present, so it is not new," Guardiola added. Liverpool have Tottenham (H), Aston Villa, Southampton (both away) and Wolves (H) left still to play. They have the better squad, but with four games left, that will likely only have a minimal impact, unless a key man like Kevin de Bruyne was to sustain an injury. That means that the two teams have roughly equally difficult remaining fixtures.

Manchester City and Liverpool are running neck-and-neck in the race for the Premier League title.

Of City’s 34 games this season, the Sky Blues have failed to win eight of them, succumbing to five draws and three losses. In the former’s case, the results turned from potential draws to damaging losses as Spurs were able to catch City on the counter-attacks with devastating pace from South Korean star Heung-min Son after the Citizens had committed too many players forward. But what has caused the race to be just so close this campaign?

Stats Perform looks at the key Opta facts from Saturdays Premier League games after Man City and Liverpool maintained their excellent form.

Klopp's side had chances to extend their lead, with home goalkeeper Martin Dubravka making nine saves, his highest tally in a single Premier League match. Remarkably, Norwich have been relegated in each of their last four Premier League seasons (2013-14, 2015-16, 2019-20 and 2021-22). They are only the second side in English league history to suffer relegation in four consecutive campaigns in the top-flight, after Crystal Palace (1992-93, 1994-95, 1997-98 and 2004-05). 5 - Man City have kept a clean sheet in each of their last five away Premier League games – their longest ever run of consecutive away clean sheets in their league history. The Reds were not top of the table for long, however, as City claimed a 4-0 win over relegation-threatened Leeds at Elland Road. Goals from Rodri and Nathan Ake both came from set pieces, meaning City have now scored 18 set-piece goals (excluding penalties) this season, their most in a Premier League campaign since 2013-14 (22). However, a 21st clean sheet of Liverpool's league campaign was enough to move them to the top of the table - only in 2005-06 (22) have the Reds kept more shutouts in a single Premier League campaign. At the other end of the table, Norwich City were condemned to a record sixth Premier League relegation at Aston Villa, and Watford look destined to join them after Burnley continued their incredible upturn in form at Vicarage Road.
