BBC chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.

Joe asked: Are people trying to create a title race when there isn't one? All available evidence points to Liverpool by at least eight points.

Phil answered: There is still a title race because there are teams who can catch Liverpool, and they have to believe they can, but it would take quite the change for Arne Slot's team not to win the Premier League now.

Arsenal took a step forward against Tottenham then a step back against Aston Villa, and while Nottingham Forest are having a remarkable season under Nuno Espirito Santo, I cannot put my hand on my heart and say I think they will win the title.

If Forest get into Europe, even the Champions League, then that will be an incredible achievement alone.

Manchester City are simply too far back now.
