Manchester City now have a three-point advantage over Liverpool in the race for the title after their 5-0 hammering of Newcastle followed the Reds’ 1-1 draw with Tottenham. Watford have joined Norwich in being relegated to the Championship, while Leeds have dropped into the relegation zone after a 2-1 defeat by Arsenal, with Everton climbing out thanks to a 2-1 win at Leicester.
The race for the top four is finely poised, with Arsenal four points ahead of Tottenham ahead of their crunch meeting on Thursday. Meanwhile, heavy defeats for Manchester United and Southampton have prompted difficult questions. Here are Mirror Football’s talking points from the weekend’s action.
