Liverpool underlined their status as Premier League champions elect, as they brushed aside Manchester City 2-0 at a rainy Etihad Stadium on Sunday. Was this the weekend they won a record-equalling 20th league title?

Certainly, if Mohamed Salah keeps this up, the title will be won in time for Arsenal to give them a guard of honor at Anfield in May. For the 11th time this season, the presumptive Ballon d'Or winner graced a game with a goal and assist. The previous high watermark in a Premier League campaign was 11. It is February.

City now trail Liverpool by 20 points in the table - the furthest they have been away from the top of the table at the end of a day since 14th July 2020, when they were 21 points behind the Reds.
