Liverpool go 11 points clear after City win - is the relegation battle over too?

Listen in app
Jimbo has Daniel Storey, JJ Bull and Adrian Clarke for company after a pivotal weekend in the Premier League season.

Liverpool make light work of Man City at the Etihad, going 11 points clear at the top of the table. With 7 of their 11 remaining fixtures at Anfield, Liverpool will surely be worthy champions. But is City’s place in the top 4 or 5 under threat?

Arsenal are beaten at the Emirates by Graham Potter’s West Ham. Next up, as part of a full midweek programme, a trip to a Forest side beaten 4-3 at Newcastle on Sunday.

The bottom three all lose at home, each conceding 4 goals. It’s looking pretty bleak for any hopes of a relegation fight - has van Nistelrooy given up hope?

Plus an Edwards-inspired Burnley, a Jackson-deficient Chelsea and Amorim’s refusal to paper over cracks.
