    Pep Guardiola said to Michael Oliver: ‘thank you so much’ but I don’t think he meant that.

    But Liverpool have said to City: 'that’s the gap, catch us if you can'.

    Now it is Liverpool’s title to lose. Liverpool have told City you can't afford to slip up.

    Poor ball by Kyle Walker to Bernardo Silva but Manchester City win a throw in as Andy Robertson plays it safe. Fernandinho gets the ball into the area but can't find a colleague.

    Liverpool are almost there...

    Luke: Liverpool are going to win the game, however their performance will give hope to every team that they are not that great. They are easily beatable if the luck is not on their side, we have seen luck win them many games this season already, it will run out.

    Time is really against Manchester City now despite their near total domination of the last 10 minutes. Kyle Walker gets a little nudge off Andy Robertson as the City fullback tries and fails to keep the ball in play.

    In that situation Alexander-Arnold’s arm is down by his side, Sterling kicks the ball from two yards and the ball is traveling at pace. How can that be a penalty?

    That is not a penalty, Pep Guardiola is wrong with that one.

    Change for Liverpool and it is a defensive one as Joe Gomez comes on for Mo Salah.

    Angelino crosses low from the left but it is blocked by Dejan Lovren. Angelino tries again from the left but this time lofts the ball in, Kyle Walker rises but heads over the bar! Big chance.

    Angelino knocks the ball into the box but it goes all the way through to Alisson. Respite for the Reds but only brief as they hand the ball back to Manchester City again.

    Pep Guardiola swipes at the air in frustration. He taps his hand, he believes there was a handball as Raheem Sterling's cross was blocked by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

    Raheem Sterling is through! He squares the ball to Gabriel Jesus but it is just behind the Manchester City striker.

    The visitors pick up the ball again and the pressure is on Liverpool. There is a slightly nervous atmosphere around Anfield.

    Big 10 minutes ahead.

    Is there a glimmer of hope for Manchester City?

    Jurgen Klopp is furious with the decision: he thought there was a foul on Fabinho, but it would have been a soft foul.

    Silva executed the shot perfectly, what a finish to beat Alisson at his near post.

    Bernardo Silva

    A glimmer of hope for Manchester City!

    Angelino's low ball travels all the way through from one side of the box to the other and Bernardo Silva sweeps a first-time strike in at the near post.

    Manchester City have 12 minutes to find a couple of goals. Definitely not out of the realms of possibility and this one is not over yet...

    Raheem Sterling shoots, blocked. Kyle Walker shoots, blocked. This has been an incredibly disciplined defensive display by Liverpool. They are getting in the way of everything.

    Liverpool 3-0 Man City

    Sadio Mane almost has the ball in the back of the net... his own net as an attempt to cut out a cross sees him direct the ball towards Alisson but the Liverpool keeper, who has been incredibly switched on in this game, reacts quickly to spare his team-mate's blushes.
