What is the Premier League table this season?

Manchester City and Liverpool played out a four-goal thriller at the Etihad as the Premier League title race goes to the wire.

Just one point separated the two sides going into the game and that’s how it remains with just seven matches remaining.

Kevin de Bruyne’s deflected shot put Man City ahead after five minutes, only for Diogo Jota to equalise just seven minutes later.

Gabriel Jesus finished brilliantly at the back post to put Man City back in front before half-time but just just a minute into the second half Sadio Mane curled home.

Both teams had chances to win it but the game finished 2-2 and means City lead Liverpool by one point.

Elsewhere on Sunday, West Ham‘s hopes of finishing in the top four took a massive blow as they lost 2-0 at Brentford.

Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney both scored after the break as the home side as good as secured their spot in the Premier League for another season.

Leicester still have a slim hope of making it into Europe through the league after they won 2-1 against Crystal Palace. Ademola Lookman and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hill found the net, while Wilfried Zaha found the net for Patrick Vieira’s side.

At the bottom of the table, Norwich earned a rare win by beating fellow relegation strugglers Burnley 2-0 thanks to goals from Pierre Lees-Melou and Teemu Pukki.

Norwich remain bottom, seven points from safety while Burnley are four points from Everton in seventeenth.

On Saturday, Manchester United’s hopes of Champions League qualification were dealt an enormous blow on Saturday, despite Arsenal also suffering a surprise defeat.

After Newcastle defeated Wolves 1-0 on Friday – a result that should have given Ralf Rangnick’s side some impetus coming into their match against EvertonMan Utd suffered a similar defeat at Goodison Park.

A single goal from Anthony Gordon midway through the first half was sufficient to get the better of the Red Devils, who could ill-afford any mistakes as they chase down the final Champions League spot.

With Arsenal losing at home to Brighton in the 3pm kick offs, it seemed that Man Utd may be given an unexpected reprieve. The Gunners went down 2-1, with their reply coming late in the game.

However, Tottenham landed a huge blow in the race for the Champions League next season as they went to Aston Villa and won 4-0. Son Heung-min caught the headlines with a hat-trick in Birmingham, but Harry Kane had a big role to play as he directly set up two and created the other with a shot that was blocked. Dejan Kulusevski was Spurs’ other ace as he scored one and created another.

Antonio Conte’s side moved onto 57 points with the victory – six clear of Man Utd (and West Ham) with just seven games of the season remaining.

Meanwhile, Chelsea showed that their heavy defeat to Brentford last weekend was little more than a wobble as they dismantled Southampton 6-0. The Blues are eight-points clear of fifth-placed Arsenal, albeit the Gunners have played one game fewer. Thomas Tuchel’s side, then, still have some work to do.

In Saturday’s other fixture, Leeds dealt another huge blow into the survival hopes of Watford with a 3-0 win away from home.
