[Liverpool](https://www.theguardian.com/football/liverpool) look a beaten docket. Alvarez dribbles around the penalty spot and struggles to get a shot away. Gakpo dribbles in from the left and aims a curler towards the far corner. Ake miscontrols and Gakpo attempts to get to the loose ball. City have enjoyed 84 percent of possession in the last five minutes. Strange thing, confidence: Liverpool were giving City a good game in the first half. After a 874-pass move, Mahrez cuts in from the right and wins a corner off Van Dijk. 80 min: “You’re getting sacked in the morning.” The City fans serenading Klopp. Grealish, running in from the left, creams a volley towards the bottom left. The visitors hanging on, in the hope of retaining at least a scrap of dignity.

Mohamed Salah had given the Reds the lead at Etihad Stadium after 17 minutes with a fine first-time finish, before Julian Alvarez netted an equaliser 10 ...

Grealish had saved a goal and then created one moments later. Jota ran through on goal but was held up by Manuel Akanji, though he did manage to lay the ball off. And in minute 53 City then secured a two-goal advantage when Gundogan was in position to convert from inside the area, after an initial shot from Alvarez had been blocked.

Manchester City brushed off the absence of Erling Haaland to keep the pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal with a resounding 4-1 win over rivals ...

Manuel Akanji and Jordan Henderson also got involved in a running battle. Much of the build-up to the game had focused on the fitness of the prolific Haaland, who has scored 42 goals in all competitions for City this season. The final score underlined the gap that has opened up between the clubs this season with champions City now 22 points ahead of the side that took them to the wire last year.

Arsenal concede a free-kick in a dangerous area after Thomas Partey is dispossessed far too easily. Arsenal defend well but concede a corner. Leeds win a free-kick as they continue to search for a route back into this game. The defender strikes it well first-time and a deflection off Zinchenko takes it past Ramsdale. White and Meslier tussle in the box and get a talking to from the ref, which only delays the game further. It's all over at the Emirates and Arsenal have the three points largely thanks to a much-improved second-half performance from Mikel Arteta's men.

The English Premier League title race is reaching its crucial stage or, as former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson used to describe it, "squeaky bum ...

The Gunners also enjoyed a convincing win on Saturday, beating Leeds United 4-1 to maintain an eight-point advantage at the top of the table. If both teams continue to perform as they have been doing, the tie that could be crucial in the title race is the match between the two at the Etihad on April 26, after which City will have only six fixtures remaining and Arsenal five. Three second-half goals from City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday helped secure a comfortable and deserved win for the home team against a side that in previous seasons had been City’s only challenger for the league title.

17' - GOAL FOR LIVERPOOL! 28' - GOAL FOR MAN CITY! Liverpool's full-backs could not cope with his passing and linkup play with De Bruyne and Gundogan. Subs: Firmino 4, Oxlade-Chamberlain 4, Tsimikas 5, Nunez 4, Milner n/a. But the key battles were won on the flanks by Mahrez and Grealish against Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson, particularly in the second half. Deploying John Stones in midfield and De Bruyne further forward reaped plenty of rewards.

The Reds looked tired in their last match against Fulham in the FA Cup, but some members of the squad, including Marcus Rashford and Raphael Varane, have ...

That suggests Wan-Bissaka should start here, while a return to the starting line up for Fred would be advisable. That means Weghorst goes from the off for the 19th game in a row. Wan-Bissaka dealt well with Saint-Maximin in the second half at Wembley and should start here after the job he did for 45 minutes in that game. Martial must surely be back in the squad this weekend but it's unlikely he's ready to start. Rashford is also expected to be involved in the game, despite withdrawing from the England squad with a knock. Anthony Martial is United's main striker for now and he has trained for more than three weeks.

A win for the Magpies could see them leapfrog Man United as well as Tottenham in the race for a top-four spot.

[Tottenham](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/tottenham-hotspur-fc) probably won’t dust off a ‘legacy’ gaffer like [Crystal Palace](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/crystal-palace-fc), though of course Terry Venables is still only 80. [Declan Rice](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/declan-rice) to ‘score from outside box’ at 20/1 (Paddy) like he did at St Mary’s in the reverse fixture. [Harry Kane](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/harry-kane) strike ‘anytime’ at 13/10 (Paddy) is the safer bet at [Everton](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/everton-fc) (8pm, tomorrow) – and take the 23/10 DRAW as well. [Newcastle](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/newcastle-united-fc) and [Manchester United](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/manchester-united-fc). [West Ham](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/west-ham-united-fc) have had nine aways in 14 games in 2023 – but are now settling into a little upswing at home and look bubbly enough for [Southampton](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/southampton-fc) ’s visit (2pm). The general 6/5 ‘UNDER 2.5 goals’ is pick of the coin-flips, and 10/1 (Fred) ‘no scorer’ will look huge if Rashford is a no-show.

Nick Pope and Sven Botman should be fit despite missing international duty. •2h ago We played an extra round in the Europa League. They need a breather to collect energy. “I think he can be in the squad for Sunday.” It came at a good time for Anthony Gordon to improve his injury and to try and get him closer to returning. “Fabian would be a prime example of someone who has played through pain and different things and the break came at a good time for him. “It’s been good for some players,” Howe said of the break. “He really needed a period of training and it’s really difficult to do that amongst games because obviously I need players fresh to play so obviously you can’t work them in the way you want them. “I’ve seen Callum really use the break wisely. Now the board’s decision to smash Newcastle United’s transfer record is being belatedly vindicated. Shaw’s contract is set to mark the first piece of squad shaping concluded by United while bids are in on a takeover.

Crystal Palace vs. Leicester City (April 1, 2023). Roy Hodgson made his second surprising managerial comeback with a return to the Crystal Palace dugout on ...

Overall, he’s taken charge of over 850 top-flight games across the Premier League, Ligue 1, Serie A and La Liga with 227 of these games coming in the Premier League across his career at Chelsea, Fulham, Leicester City and the Hornets – famously winning the Premier League title against all the odds with Leicester in 2015-16. At the time of his sacking, he was the oldest manager in the Premier League (70) and he was also the oldest to manage in Serie A last season (69) by nearly six years. This was his final match in the competition, before relinquishing his short-term position as boss of the Blues to Antonio Conte. Ferguson won 13 top-flight English league titles as a manager during his 27 years at Manchester United – more than twice as many as any other manager in the history of the league and seven more than his closest rivals. He quit the club just a day after this game, with Sunderland winless in eight top-flight matches in 2015-16. Obviously – with Robson and Hodgson never having done so – Fergie is the oldest manager to win a Premier League title. There’s only been one 5-5 draw in the entire history of the Premier League, but it came in Sir Alex Ferguson’s final game as a manager. The much-admired Bobby Robson was 71 years, 192 days old on his final Premier League game as a manager, with Newcastle’s 0-0 draw at Aston Villa his last. He secured 83 wins and a points-per-game average of 1.60 across his 188 games in the competition. This average was even lower than his predecessor Claudio Ranieri – the fifth oldest Premier League manager – who averaged 0.54 points-per-game at the Hornets. At the end of 2020-21, Hodgson ended his 45-year managerial career as Crystal Palace manager with their Premier League trip to former club Liverpool at Anfield. Who is the oldest Premier League manager of all time?

He led the club to consecutive fifth-placed finishes in 2020 and 2021, narrowly missing out on the Champions League on both occasions. 'The task ahead of us in our final 10 games is clear.

LONDON -- The timing could scarcely have been more intriguing. Just as West Ham fans were grumbling about another day when their expensively looking squad ...

From then on there would have been something to build towards, the likes of Romeo Lavia and substitutes Carlos Alcaraz and Paul Onuachu showed promise and threat late on. The issue was rather how such an unproven team might fare in a world of relegation. Jamie Vardy could only defy the aging process for so long while Danny Ward is nowhere near a good enough goalkeeper to be able to survive with an underwhelming defense ahead of him. We had them on the counter attack a few times, we didn't finish our chances, and that's the end of the story. Wilfried Gnoto, 19, might be the forward you trust most in front of goal while Illan Meslier, for all his rich promise, has the sorts of ricks in him you'd expect from a young goalkeeper. And yet the form table is swinging their direction with three wins in their last six; one of those other games saw the Cherries give Arsenal the fright of their lives at the Emirates Stadium. However, the next three games -- at home to Newcastle and Arsenal either side of a trip to Fulham -- could change the mood music around this most tempestuous of clubs quite dramatically. That these issues are more structural than individual is reflected in the misfiring strike force of Danny Ings, Michail Antonio and Gianluca Scamacca. With or without him, they will not need to accrue many points but they might do so anyway if Roy Hodgson continues in the sort of atypical vein with which he began his reign in victory against Leicester. They will quite possibly have to do so without Wilfried Zaha, whose status for the remainder of this campaign is now up in the air after he injured his groin. After all, that win alone sent West Ham flying up the table from 19th to 14th, a reminder of how razor-thin the margins are in a relegation race that seems likely to end with multiple sides sweating over their Premier League future. Soon after, Nayef Aguerd would go on to earn the Hammers three crucial points against Southampton that propelled Leicester further down the table, one of the few moments that enlivened one of the season's worst contests.
