FT Liverpool 0-1 Brighton

Liverpool lost yet another game at home. On Sunday, Liverpool will welcome Manchester City to play a game in which City are more than seven points off the pace.

Guardiola’s side will comeback to inflicted the Reds a third consecutive home loss. Brighton already 10points clear of the bottom three and will heading to Burnley on Saturday. At both ends of the table.

At Anfield, which is no longer a castle, Brighton claimed a thoroughly deserved victory.

Liverpool have lost to Burnley and Brighton in successive matches on Merseyside after 68 home league games without loss. It was settled by Alzate’s scruffy goal, but Brighton posed the greater threat throughout the game.

FT: Burnley 0 – 2 Manchester city

Next up for Burnley is a massive battle with Brighton, who travel to Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon while Manchester City travels to Anfield on Sunday evening to face Liverpool, speaking of winning points elsewhere.

All the harm was done here at Turf Moor in the first half as the visitors made it nine Premier League wins in a row thanks to strikes from Jesus and Sterling.

In reality, Manchester City wasn’t at its best, but it was more than enough to see off the Burnley side who know they’re going to be more likely to pick up points in the league elsewhere.

FT: Fulham 0-2 Leicester city

On Saturday, Fulham are next in action at home against WestHam, while on Sunday, Leicester city will fly to face Wolves.

In the Premier League, Leicester city returned to winning ways to get their championship challenge back on track.

With a closed range header from James Maddison’s cross, Kelechi Iheanacho put the visitors ahead. For the second, Maddison was the supplier, teeing up James Justin to convert.

In 11 Premier League matches, Fulham are still without a win and remain seven points clear of safety in 18th position in the EPL table.
