London, April 3
Diogo Jota scored a 57th-minute goal to see Liverpool win the Merseyside derby 1-0 against Everton and retain a 12-point lead in the Premier League.
Jota's goal after Luis Diaz's back-heel was enough to beat a well-organized defense and leave Arne Slot's side needing just 13 points from eight games to assure the title.
Jack Grealish needed just two minutes to open the scoring for Manchester City at home to struggling Leicester City, taking advantage of an assist from Savinho, reports.
Omar Marmoush doubled the lead before the half hour, showing there is life without the injured Erling Haaland.
Alexander Isak and Sandro Tonali scored in Newcastle's 2-1 win at home to Brentford that ended the visiting side's run of five consecutive away wins.
Second-half goals from Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio strengthened Aston Villa's hopes of returning to Europe next season with a 3-0 win away to Brighton, with Donyell Malen scoring deep into injury time to end a miserable few days for Brighton after its FA Cup exit at the weekend.
