Manchester United Stay Top But City Close The Gap

Monday, 18 January 2021 08:41

It ended honours even at Anfield yesterday.

Manchester United are still top of the Premier League after their goalless draw with Liverpool at Anfield.

United extended their unbeaten run on the road to 16 games, to go two points clear of Leicester and Manchester City.

However, United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes his side could have done more to try and win the match:

Manchester City closed gap on United to two points with a 4-0 win at home to Crystal Palace.

John Stones scored twice, while Ilkay Gundogan and Raheem Sterling were also on target for City, who have a game in hand over United.

City boss Pep Guardiola is refusing to get carried away by talk of the title:

Tottenham are up to fifth place and just four points off top spot following a 3-1 win away to bottom side Sheffield United.

Serge Aurier, Harry Kane and Tanguy Ndombele scored the goals for Spurs.

Tonight, Arsenal host Newastle at the Emirates from 8.00.

Meanwhile, Mesut Ozil could complete his transfer to Fenerbahce today.
