Arne Slot’s side effectively knocked Manchester City out of the title race with a 2-0 victory over the faltering champions on Sunday, one day after the Magpies were pegged back in the final moments of a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.

Cody Gakpo’s tap-in at the back post and Mohamed Salah’s second-half penalty saw Liverpool open up an astonishing 11-point gap over Man City.

No team in Premier League history with at least a six-point lead after 13 matches has failed to win the title, and many believe that the race for glory is already a foregone conclusion while Liverpool continue to sweep aside rivals left right and centre – they have now won seven games in a row across all competitions.

Dropped points on the road have been a far more frequent theme for Newcastle, although Eddie Howe’s side were only a couple of minutes away from leaving Selhurst Park with a narrow win on Saturday.

Marc Guehi’s unfortunate own goal from an Anthony Gordon cross looked to be the decisive moment, until the Crystal Palace defender floated a delightful cross to the back stick, where Daniel Munoz arrived to head home a stoppage-time equaliser.

The regular Diminik Szoboszlai-Curtis Jones change could occur in the middle of the park, while a fresh-legged Darwin Nunez will no doubt displace either Gakpo or Luiz Diaz.
