Premier League table

With the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in the Anfield trophy cabinet already and a Champions League final in Paris booked for the end of the month, a cup treble is a ...

Should the title race go all the way to a play-off decider, it will the best first time in the history of top-flight English football that the title has been settled in such a manner. But after the final day matches both sides are level on points AND goal difference, according to Premier League rules: “If clubs still cannot be separated, the team who scored the most goals away from home in the head-to-head matches will get the highest position. If Jurgen Klopp's mentality monsters are to finish the season with a 20th league title, first they will (almost certainly) need to beat Southampton on Tuesday evening to get themselves a point behind City. A defeat at Saints for Liverpool would mean City are champions.

Manchester City came back from two-down to earn a point at West Ham, but Riyad Mahrez missed a chance to win the game from the penalty spot late on.

There was no need for Coufal to launch a diving header at a free kick heading easily into Fabianski's arms and left the keeper with no chance. From a youngster at Hereford, to a strong Championship player at Hull, there were few who saw him making the leap to be one of the most dangerous forwards in the Premier League but that is exactly what he is now. It was a difficult free kick to defend as Mahrez swung the set piece behind the defence which curled away from Fabianski, but there would have been little danger to the Hammers goal if Coufal had not decided to launch himself diagonally backwards where any touch was unlikely to yield a positive result. He is the perfect compliment to the horde of English attacking players who prefer the ball to feet rather than running onto through-balls and should be rewarded with appearances in Gareth Southgate's side over the next few months. City are now four points clear of Liverpool who have two games remaining and are seven goals worse off in terms of goal difference. On both occasions Oleksandr Zinchenko was culpable for not tracking Bowen's diagonal runs behind the defence from the right flank.

Leaders Manchester City squandered the chance to extend their lead over Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table to six points by drawing 2-2 with ...

Despite predicting a "twist" in the title race tale, Neville heaped praise on City and credited them with making a tricky trip to Molineux look very easy. This means Liverpool are four points behind ahead of their trip to Southampton on Tuesday night, three days after winning the FA Cup with a penalty shootout triumph over Chelsea to keep their slim quadruple hopes alive. The Sky Blues could have delivered a hammer blow to their rivals if they had defeated West Ham on Sunday afternoon, but could only manage a 2-2 draw at the London Stadium.

Manchester City on Sunday afternoon dropped two points after failing to beat West Ham United in a Premier League tie. Man City drew 2-2 against West Ham.

Man City will face Aston Villa in their last Premier League match of the season on May 22 at Etihad Stadium. The result means Man City still maintains the number position on the Premier League table with 90 points from 37 games. Man City drew 2-2 against West Ham at the London Stadium.

Match highlights of every Premier League game this season to be shown on the Sky Sports website and app; watch West Ham vs Man City, Everton vs Brentford ...

And the way Chiquinho gave Oleksandr Zinchenko - a fine footballer, but not a natural defender - the run-around in the midweek win at Wolves certainly bodes well for the possibilities of Jarrod Bowen have a big say in this match. The aim is to finish in three figures of profit so it's big prices all the way. I'm not going to lie, Leicester vs Everton and my tip of Yerry Mina to score a header tested my patience after a weekend of frustrating results.

When Riyad Mahrez stepped up to take an 86th-minute spot kick for Manchester City, he knew that converting it would virtually secure another league championship ...

Liverpool title race—when he skied a penalty late in the game in a 0–0 draw at Anfield. City manager Pep Guardiola hardly flinched when Fabianski dived to his left and clawed away Mahrez’s penalty. It was saved, though, by West Ham goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański and City had to settle for a 2–2 draw at the Olympic Stadium on Sunday—albeit from 2-0 down at halftime—to leave Liverpool still with hope.

Plus: Tottenham keep the pressure on Arsenal while Leeds rescue what may prove to be an invaluable point in the battle to stay in the Premier League...

The gap is widening, but a fortnight of the season remains. I have a huge pride in the players for what they've done in the last couple of games, to continue with that fight and aggression. Patrick Vieira even referenced the issue in his post-match press conference: "When we get to the last third we don't always make the correct decisions and, of course, we need to keep working and keep improving. There'll also be new faces in the door as Edwards looks to shape his squad. For the next 91 minutes, that chance looked to be defining Leeds' day at the office as their fight for survival looked an ominous one until Gelhardt sparked them into life in injury-time. It was a fair assessment as Watford's season at Vicarage Road ended in a whimper. There was no looking for the easy pass against Brighton. He took the fight to them with some bulldozing runs and dangerous forward passes. But it was significant that Moyes sent for Noble when City had pulled themselves level, when West Ham needed someone to give them a foothold again in the middle of the park. They showed to be very professional and understanding the importance of the moment. Since Conte joined the club, Lloris has tied himself down to a new contract and solidified himself as one of Tottenham's most important stars. But now Burnley, as they showed against Tottenham on Sunday lunchtime, are quite easy on the eye. Guiding Brentford to mid-table on a small budget, while the other two promoted sides have endured torrid seasons, is mightily impressive.

The Reds received a huge boost to their hopes of winning the Premier League title with Man City having been held by West Ham but still need to take maximum ...

“We didn’t expect to win the title with three, four or five games to spare. With City having claimed a point, they now sit four clear of the Reds and they also have a far superior goal difference to consider. With one match of the season remaining, there will be one point between the two sides.

The title race will go down to the final day after City slipped up at West Ham, while none of relegation-threatened Burnley, Everton or Leeds secured wins.

More of the same, as one of the weirdest Premier League seasons in recent memory draws to a close. He cannot rely upon the continued (and extreme) overperformance of Jose Sa and he must find a way to break down teams that sit deep. An afternoon to sum up what a wasted season this has been for Watford, if you ignore the broadcasting revenues and subsequent parachute payments that will presumably be used to fund a promotion bid next season. If we can broadly agree that an offence was committed, can anyone really say that the offence merits a huge opportunity for a team to score? But Norwich have at least avoided a repeat of 2019-20, when they lost their last 10 games of the season to fall limply into the Championship. As soon as Kevin Friend was instructed to go to the VAR screen (and he’s blameless for not giving it in real time) there was only one likely outcome. First came the perceived lack of investment, particularly adding depth to a small, tired squad, then the sacking of Bielsa. If they were going to go down, they might as well have kept their hero. Supporters had had enough; they chanted first Marcelo Bielsa’s name and then that members of the board should be sacked for the way in which they have managed this season. Apply too much power and the ball may well be flicked to the far edge of the six-yard box, where again a teammate may be waiting. He created one excellent chance for Maxwel Cornet with a through ball and set up the same player for a half-chance after the break. That means Everton have to commit one player towards the edge of the penalty area to look after him but doesn’t telegraph whether it will be a short corner or not. The ball is played at a height where Wissa could use his head or lay the ball back with his foot to the edge of the box, a routine we have seen a few times recently in the Premier League.

However, if say the scouse mackems didn’t win that Palace game. Only seven days to go now but a real treat as a Newcastle United fan to watch these games playing out, knowing your club is safe after Eddie Howe did such a brilliant job in creating Premier League history. Arsenal v Everton (4pm)

Burnley fill the final relegation spot but have a game in hand on Leeds above them; Everton also have two games left and one win will do for them.

Two draws will all but secure their safety too barring no miraculous mathematic goal swing with Leeds, who have a -18 worse goal difference than Frank Lampard's side. This means four points from their final two games - away at Aston Villa on Thursday and at home to Newcastle on Sunday - will be enough. Leeds remain favourites for relegation but their situation would have been far worse had Pascal Struijk not struck a late equaliser to lift them out of the bottom three against Brighton in a 1-1 draw.
