Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Tottenham at Anfield on Saturday means a win for Pep Guardiola's men will put them three points clear with three games to play. The champions looking to get out of the blocks quickly. It's party time up in the north east, with relegation fears long gone and a bright future in prospect under Eddie Howe. 2nd minute: Nervous moments there for the hosts as Laporte mistakenly boots the ball at Gundogan, who then loses his footing to be disposessed on halfway. Sterling plays in his teammate to draw a sharp save from Dubravka at his near post. Ederson then nearly made a complete hash of the resulting free-kick. Guardiola flaps his arms in a sort of Big Bird impression. Dias lumps a ball in Sterling's general direction and Newcastle come away with it. Anyway, despite those desperate odds, he City midfielder gamely keeps up with the flying winger, who runs out of pitch and falls over.

Manchester City claimed a vital 5-0 victory against Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon to return to the top of the Premier League.

His ball to Jesus alone was sensational after 31 minutes and he was unlucky not to get an assist for it.

Premier League table and fixtures: Man City and Liverpool ... (iNews)

City can afford to drop points and still be in the driving seat to win the Premier League title this season.

On Tuesday Liverpool travel to Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa, who have nothing but league position to fight for. The Reds should brush aside all three remaining league opponents. But they also need to avoid dropping points themselves. The Premier League leaders are unlikely to dominate either game but will be clear favourites heading into them to claim three points. It could still go down to the wire. But Liverpool must also do their bit to maintain the pressure over the coming fortnight.

Ruben Dias, John Stones and Kyle Walker are out for the season at Manchester City. And Pep Guardiola's defensive problems do not end there.

It was therefore perhaps a touch surprising to see Egan-Riley preferred to the elegant and powerful 18-year-old. Mbete was also on the bench at the weekend and has been a fixture in first-team squads over the past 18 months. Guardiola broke into something of a giggle when asked how important Fernandinho will be over the remainder of the season. The pressure at Molineux and London Stadium will certainly be a few degrees higher.
