Tonight could prove a defining night in the Premier League title race

Liverpool have the chance to extend their lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League to ten points with a victory tonight.

Jurgen Klopp's side were unbeaten in their four games against City in 2018, including a league draw at Anfield earlier this season.

But Klopp says nothing is decided this evening.

Kick-off at the Etihad is at 8pm.

Meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted he will not want to leave Manchester United after matching Matt Busby's record of winning his first four games as manager.

Last night's 2-nil victory at Newcastle extended his perfect start as caretaker boss.

He's due to return to Molde in May but says he won't want to depart Old Trafford.

Football writer with the Guardian Daniel Harris thinks Solskjaer will need to win games against bigger teams before being considered for the job on a full-time basis.

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri says a lack of cutting edge cost them two points last night.

The Premier League's fourth placed side were held to a goalless draw by Southampton at Stamford Bridge.

Republic of Ireland winger Robbie Brady was a second half substitute, but was sent-off late in Burnley's 2-1 win away to Huddersfield last night.

Shane Duffy scored Brighton's second away to West Ham, but Chris Hughton's side squanded a 2-nil lead and were held to a 2-2 draw.

Crystal Palace moved six-points clear of the bottom-3 with a 2-nil win away to Wolves.

And there were six-goals shared at the Vitality - all in the first half - as Bournemouth and Watford drew 3-3.
