    After yesterday's shock defeat for Manchester City, Liverpool have a real chance to move seven points clear at the top of the table for the start of February.

    Victory against Leicester will give them that, while Tottenham could cut the gap to second place to just two points with a win over Watford.

    Chelsea will also want all three points against Bournemouth to consolidate their place in the top four.

    Newcastle 2-1 Man City

    When Rafael Benitez left Liverpool in 2010, he was already a legend in the eyes of many Reds fans.

    And he may have given his old club a huge boost in the Premier League title race after his current club - Newcastle - defied the odds to upset Manchester City with a 2-1 win at St James' Park on Tuesday night.

    Liverpool fans were - perhaps understandably - in celebratory mood on social media. And their former boss was the subject of their affection.

    Check out the social media responses.

  9. What happened last night?published at 18:33 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2019

    If you missed any of the action last night, it was eventful.

    Newcastle pulled off one of the shocks of the season by defeating Manchester City 2-1 at St James' Park.

    Burnley almost won by the same scoreline at Old Trafford but Victor Lindelof scored his first goal for Manchester United to salvage a 2-2 draw in the 92nd minute.

    Wolves gave West Ham a hammering, Everton clawed a narrow 1-0 win over Huddersfield and Arsenal fought off a determined Cardiff to win 2-1.

    And there was a goal fest at Fulham as they came from two goals down to beat Brighton 4-2 thanks in no small part to an Aleksandar Mitrovic double.
