    "When he first came to Everton, Aaron Lennon was lacking a bit of fitness but since he got his fitness up he has become an integral part of team.

    "He has added goals to his game and is in the best run of form form since coming here. 

    "Up here there is talk of him possibly getting into England squad, I am not sure about that, but he has certainly been up there with the best."

    Poor City performance once again. Too many overpaid, overrated players in the MCFC team. We won't be getting fourth spot, I don't think Pep knows what he's letting himself in for. Such a frustrating team... Should never have bought Sterling, Milner should have stayed. Aguero needed someone decent to partner him, Bony was never the answer

    Graeme Sharp
    Four-time FA Cup finalist with Everton on Football Focus

    "Our last trophy was in 1995 which is a long, long, time ago. The fans are craving success, it has been too long. 

    "There are signs with this team something might be around corner. We have to stick together. It is a massive game today, massive."

    Stuart Young: That's the end of MCFC in the Premier League title race. Over to to you #LCFC & #THFC for a thrilling finish

    Shane Daly: Raheem Sterling is worth every penny that City paid for him. Well that's if they paid for him in Monopoly money.

    James Kieran: Pellegrini is getting his revenge now. Welcome to Europa league Pep.

    Dave, N. Ayrshire: I remember recently reading from one football 'expert' that City still had the best team. Er, no. League table does not lie and expensively assembled teams shouldn't be confused with best teams.

    City title bid over?

    Manchester City

    Joe Hart and Manuel Pellegrini may have both said that the title bid was still on - but can you actually see it now?

    Stoke City 0-0 Southampton

    There are only two points between these two with Stoke in eighth place and Southampton in ninth.

    It's an upper midtable clash and it's been tight so far.

    Follow that one here.

  14. 'That could be huge'published at 14:57 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2016

    Norwich 0-0 Man City

    Norwich City

    Norwich's Russell Martin: "That could be huge. Any point is valuable to stop the rot. It is a big point and sends a message out to the teams around us and maybe dents them again.

    "Huge credit to the defence. It was tough, they had a lot of possession but I think we showed better game management than in recent weeks. There were not many clear cut chances, it was a real team effort.

    "I think we need to build on that. It is a fantastic point today and we have to pick up as many as possible. We have a run of games that are pivotal and it is up to us to get as many points as possible but this reinstalls a bit of belief in us."

    Norwich 0-0 Man City

    Manchester City

    Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart: "I can't see us getting much air time on Match of the Day tonight. We are going to need a crazy season to get even more crazy but we will keep going."

  16. 'We were static'published at 14:54 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2016

    Norwich 0-0 Man City

    Manchester City

    Manchester City Manuel Pellegrini: "We are disappointed. We tried to be aggressive with and without the ball. We had a good attitude but we could not create space.

    "Of course we should create more in the last third. We were static up front. Every time that you drop points it is harder but you must continue thinking in a positive way. We must always try to win the title while we mathematically can."

  17. Benitez on Claudio Ranieripublished at 14:51 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2016

    Newcastle United

    More from new Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez, who says he's looking forward to renewing his friendship with Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri when the two sides meet on Monday.

    "Claudio is a friend. He was Valencia manager before and after me. We have a good relationship. Hopefully we can win on Monday, but they can win the title."

  18. 'We can catch those above us'published at 14:50 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2016

    Norwich 0-0 Man City

    Norwich City

    Norwich boss Alex Neil: "We will see at the end of the season how significant that point was. I couldn't ask any more from our players in terms of effort and endeavour. We put a lot into the first half.

    "We had much better decision making today. Last time Norwich got relegated they were five points above the relegation zone with seven games to play so there's no reason why we can't catch some of those above us."

  19. 'We could have had the day off'published at 14:47 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2016

    Norwich 0-0 Man City

    Manchester City

    Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart: "It was a disappointing performance. myself and John Ruddy could have had the afternoon off. You have to give credit to Norwich for how they defended. It's worked for them but I'm not bothered about them. We weren't good enough to win the game.

    "Sometimes it not good enough. We needed more invention, more brilliance and that wasn't available. It chops and changes at the top and we have to stay consistent to our beliefs. We believe we can win the league."
