"I think Everton are the worst run club in the country, probably one the worst run in Europe," he said. In fact, Jamie Carragher believes Everton are the worst run club in the Premier League, and maybe even the whole of Europe. Can he turn in around with this tough set of fixtures?

James Ward-Prowse also showed he can bend it like David Beckham to close on the former England captain's free-kick record.

Tottenham broke into the top four with a 5-1 victory over Newcastle and are finding form at the right time to secure a Champions League spot. The crunch contest comes with the Toffees four points above the Clarets having both played 28 games. City completed a routine 2-0 win at Turf Moor and will head into the Etihad Stadium clash one point ahead of Liverpool with eight games left.

Lampard didn’t appear to acknowledge Keane as the player trudged off the field. Everton’s hopes of salvaging a point from the match at the Olympic Stadium were damaged when Keane was shown a second yellow card in the 65th minute for a lunge at Antonio on the edge of the area. Aaron Cresswell gave West Ham the lead with a curling free-kick into the top corner in the 32nd, only for Mason Holgate to equalize in the 53rd with a deflected shot.

City and Liverpool are locked in a thrilling shootout at the top of the English top flight, with just eight matches remaining of the season. But there was a nervousness around Anfield as the visitors refused to wilt and they even had a glorious chance to equalise in the second period. Yoane Wissa scored late to complete the rout.A first win over Chelsea since 1939 in 📸#BrentfordFC #CHEBRE https://t.co/Ir0gTxpVSL— Brentford FC (@BrentfordFC) April 2, 2022 Liverpool, who trailed City by 14 points in January, took pole position as Diogo Jota's header and a late Fabinho penalty saw off lowly Watford 2-0 in the early kick-off. Elsewhere, Christian Eriksen scored as Brentford came from behind to beat Chelsea 4-1 — their first victory against their London rivals since 1939.

Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United and West Ham are all in with a chance of Champions League qualification - but how will the top six finish?

Arsenal hold all the aces, having climbed to fourth while still having a game in hand, but their record of beating the biggest teams is poor and they still have Chelsea and Manchester United to face, not to mention West Ham. No-one is catching the top three of City, Liverpool and Chelsea. They are streets ahead of the rest in terms of quality. With City and Liverpool occupying the first two places, I fully expect Chelsea to cement third spot and Arsenal to win the race for that coveted fourth Champions League slot. Arsenal still have a wobble in them - and Antonio Conte is capable of driving even an erratic Tottenham team into fourth. They have no distractions, nice fixtures, points in the bag and games in hand. Tottenham should clinch fourth spot, with United, Arsenal and the Hammers taking the Europa League places. Mikel Arteta has done a superb job to get the Gunners to improve on eighth place last season and got a lot of big calls right like offloading Pierre Emerick Aubameyang. They also have a three-point advantage and at least one game in hand on chasing Tottenham, Manchester United and West Ham. The likes of Wolves, Villa, Leicester etc have left themselves too much to do and time is running out. And I’m going for West Ham to surprise everyone by nicking fourth place, because they also have a fixture list that can help them ambush the sides above them. And Arsenal look in better shape than Spurs for that fourth spot. It is much tighter for the lesser continental cups with five points splitting Wolves in eighth and Spurs in fifth.

After a brief hiatus for World Cup qualifiers, the Premier League roars back this weekend with a full slate of matches and there are two underdogs at decent ...

Wolverhampton’s modest success is due in large part to a stingy defense that has the fourth-best defensive record in the Premier League this season. In addition to their home form, the Eagles have also showed a penchant for being giant-killers. Arsenal have been playing strong stuff since the holidays, but Palace won’t be a straight-forward fixture for the Gunners and the Eagles have already shown to be a banana skin for plenty of the big fish in the Premier League this season.

We will give it a try." "We are not favourite in one of the competitions we are in, but who cares? Manchester City and Liverpool made sure their clash next Sunday may prove to be a Premier League title decider on a weekend that showed the top two are a class above the rest.

Liverpool moved top of the Premier League for the first time this year as Diogo Jota's header and a late Fabinho penalty saw off Watford 2-0.

Sarr again created the danger with a burst down the left and his cut back was slotted wide by Joao Pedro. Sarr was included from the start by Roy Hodgson and was a major threat as he nearly caught Alisson Becker off his line early on. The visit of the Hornets kicked off a huge month for the Reds as they remain in the hunt for a historic quadruple of trophies.

Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League table after a brief hiatus with a 2-0 victory at Burnley.

23 - Man City are the only side yet to drop a single point from a winning position in the Premier League this season, winning all 23 games in which they’ve led. The home side set up with a 4-5-1 formation in a bid to frustrate us. It's a busy week - first we'll think about Atletico Madrid and then after that we’ll think about Liverpool." "The goal after five minutes was important but we still had to play 85 more. The pitch was difficult because the grass was so high but we adapted. This is why we’ve fought for the last 10, 11 months. Our second was equally as impressive and Sterling was again the architect. The win means City go back to the top of the Premier League table after a brief period in second. City were playing with a swagger, enjoying long periods of keep-ball. In the 2nd half they pushed more, they went 4-4-2 and they were more aggressive. Burnley were struggling to cope. No side has ever gone through an entire Premier League campaign without dropping points when ahead before.
