5 hours agoWinners and Losers from Liverpool's FA Cup thrashing at the hands of Man City
Manchester City defeated Liverpool 4-0 in the FA Cup quarter-final, highlighted by Erling Haaland's hat-trick.
Arsenal enjoy a seven-point lead over Manchester City but have played a game more. Looking at the remaining fixtures, the Gunners have a slightly easier run-in on paper, although their eight remaining games include what could be a title-defining trip to the Etihad on 19 April.
The absence of the wantaway Lucas Paqueta has given Mateus Fernandes a chance to take on more responsibility for West Ham. Paqueta, who is said to be nursing a minor back problem, was unavailable again for last week's win against Spurs but Nuno Espirito Santo's struggling side coped without the Flamengo target. They called on Fernandes to dictate the flow in midfield and the diligent Portuguese did not disappoint.
