What a result that is for Arne Slot's side.
A 2-0 win sees Liverpool go eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Meanwhile defeat for Man City sees them fall even further behind in the title race.
Pep Guardiola's side are now 11 points behind the Reds in the title race as they sit in fifth place.

Man City may be on their way to losing this one, but Pep Guardiola is still happy to dish it out to the Liverpool fans.
After being criticised throughout, the Spaniard has responded by holding up six fingers to the supporters with a big smile on his face.
Of course the 'six' is in relation to the amount of times that City have beaten Liverpool to the title.
Guardiola may have a point, but Liverpool are looking like a very, very good bet to clinch this year's crown.

That is disastrous defending from Man City and it's proven costly!
A high press from Liverpool sees Ruben Dias and then Kyle Walker lose the ball with Luis Diaz bearing down on goal.
Stefan Orteta then came storming off his line and brought him down in the area, resulting in a penalty to the hosts.
Up steps Mo Salah who made no mistake, slamming the ball home into the bottom corner of the net to put them 2-0 up.
Could Liverpool be set to go 11 points clear of Man City?
It very much looks like it!

Mohamed Salah could - and should - have wrapped this one up, but no.
Following a defensive mix-up between Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake, the Egyptian star found himself through on goal as he approached Stefan Ortega.
Instead of doing what he's done so many times before, Salah lifted his effort just over the crossbar, much to his disbelief.
It means that the score remains at 1-0, but with Man City looking much more like themselves in the second half, he may live to regret that miss.

Man City really do not know how to handle the Liverpool defender!
After hitting the post early on with a header, Van Dijk has risen unopposed another two times from corners.
On both occasions, he has missed the target with one header going wide of the mark and now, sending an effort over the crossbar.
The Dutchman really ought to have punished Pep Guardiola's team by now - a goal may still come, but with every missed chance you start to wonder if Man City will make him pay for his wastefulness.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has called on his team to do better after their 3-0 defeat to Chelsea.
Speaking after the match, he said: "We believe completely in our work.
We can individually do better."
Asked what went wrong at Stamford Bridge, Emery simply replied: "Chelsea."

It's half-time at Anfield and so far the game has been very much in Liverpool's control.
After Cody Gakpo gave the Reds the lead, Man City have come back into the game but it's very much being played on Liverpool's terms/
The one positive for Pep Guardiola is that it's only 1-0 and they are still very much in it.
But something will need to change if Man City are to challenge the table-toppers.

Oh, there he is!
Yes, Erling Haaland is playing for Manchester City against Liverpool but you'd be forgiven for thinking that he'd been left out.
The Norwegian striker has been completely marked out of the game, meaning that 30 minutes into the match he's had just nine touches of the ball.
With only two of them in the penalty area, Man City must find a way to get him into the game if they're going to get back into this one.

Liverpool are ahead and the only surprise is that it hasn't come sooner!
Arne Slot's side have been dominant beyond belief in the opening 15 minutes and put Man City's side under immense pressure.
Moments after Virgil van Dijk hit the post, Cody Gakpo converted from close range after a wonderful cross from Mohamed Salah that sliced the City defence wide open.
Liverpool smell blood here and for Man City it has not been the composed start that they'll have been hoping for.
That's six in his last seven for Gakpo and the Dutchman will be confident that there could be more available for him this afternoon...

Following big wins for Chelsea and Manchester United, the Premier League table is really starting to take shape.
A victory for Liverpool would see them go eight points clear at the top of the table.
Meanwhile a win for Man City would see them fly up the table to second.
Worth noting that there is just seven points between second-place Arsenal and 13th-place Bournemouth at the time of writing...

Liverpool vs Man City is just around the corner with kick-off set for 4pm UK time.
There's big pressure on both teams for very different reason and that's why neither manager has shied away from making the ball calls in their team selection.
Buckle in, go and grab your cuppa and crack open that box of Christmas chocolates (it is December 1st after all!) and get ready for this one.
It should be a cracker.

What an afternoon it's been for Manchester United!
The Red Devils won 4-0 against Everton thanks to two goals apiece for Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee.
While the Toffees were utterly dreadful, the home fans could be heard singing "Ruben Amorim's red and white army" - a universally accepted sign of acceptance from the Stretford End.
Chelsea also claimed a big win after beating Aston Villa 3-0 thanks to Nicolas Jackson, Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer who stole the show with his glorious curling effort.
Meanwhile Tottenham laboured to a 1-1 draw with Fulham.
Brennan Johnson opened the scoring with Tom Cairney equalising - only to be red-carded for a horrific challenge in the second half.
I hope you're not too tired, because this Sunday is only just getting started with Liverpool vs Man City up next!

There's no show without the main event, is there?
Cole Palmer is Chelsea's standout star for a reason and he showed exactly why after bending a glorious effort into the top corner of the net.
A clever free-kick routine saw the ball played out to Noni Madueke on the right flank who remained patient, before playing it back to Palmer on the edge of the box.
Moving onto his left foot, Palmer curled a beautiful effort beyond sub goalkeeper Robin Olsen to all-but wrap up the win.
That makes it eight goals and six assists for Palmer this season - unplayable.

After scoring a beautiful goal to draw Fulham level, Cairney has been red-carded for a horror challenge.
The skipper fouled Dejan Kulusevski after raking his studs down the player's calf, leading to him being given a yellow card.
However that card was then upgraded after it was judged to have been serious foul play.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Sam Ellard said: "That could have broken his leg," meaning that Cairney will have no complaints at all.

Let's be honest, this is nothing less than Fulham deserve!
Some good work from Alex Iwobi sees the ball fall to Cairney who curls a wonderful effort beyond the goalkeeper and into the net.
It may have taken a deflection off Dragusin, but it looked to be heading in anyway.
That strike is Cairney's first goal in a year and what a way to end his drought!
For Spurs, surely there can be no complaint...

Zirkzee has made it four and that's enough for many of the Everton fans at Old Trafford.
That's because a number of supporters are now flocking for the exit door with a quarter of the game remaining!
The Toffees have been awful today and that has allowed Ruben Amorim's side to completely run riot.
Zirkzee, who in truth has been quiet today, now has his second of the day and that will be a big confidence boost for him.
For Sean Dyche's side, however, this will be another alarming result in the context of their season.

Arne Slot welcomes Trent Alexander-Arnold back to the starting XI for the clash with Manchester City.
Cody Gakpo also starts for the Reds with Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones dropping to the bench.
For Man City, they're boosted by the return of Ruben Dias to the team.
Meanwhile Ederson and Josko Gvardiol have been dropped and replaced by Stefan Ortega and Nathan Ake.
The hope is that he'll solidify the defence with Pep Guardiola looking like he's going to be playing with a back five at Anfield...
Liverpool: Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Szobozlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Gakpo, Diaz
Subs: Jaros, Davies, Endo, Nunez, Jones, Elliott, Quansah, Morton, Nyoni
Man City: Ortega, Walker (C), Akanji, Dias, Ake, Lewis, Gundogan, Nunes, Bernardo, Foden, Haaland
Subs: Ederson, Carson, Grealish, Doku, De Bruyne, Gvardiol, Savinho, O'Reilly, McAtee

Well this has come from nowhere...
In a match where Fulham have dominated for long spells it is Spurs who taken the lead in north London.
It's Johnson who breaks the deadlock after some good work from Timo Werner on the left side of the penalty area.
He clips it into the box and Johnson slams it home on the volley for his 10th goal of the season.
Hard not to feel sorry for Fulham though...

While Manchester United are storming to victory over Everton, they might things more difficult next time out.
That's because Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo have picked up a yellow card against the Toffees.
As a result, both players will miss Wednesday night's trip to face Arsenal after reaching five yellow cards for the season.
Both players have been key to their success under Ruben Amorim so far, meaning that this could be a real blow.

It's that man again!
It came straight from kick-off in the second half as Amad Diallo and Joshua Zirkzee combined to send Rashford through.
With real composure, Rashford slotted past Jordan Pickford to make it 3-0.
It's the first time that Rashford has scored twice in a Premier League game since February 2023.
Could this be the start of his return to stardom under Ruben Amorim?

It's been a great afternoon so far for Manchester United and Chelsea.
Ruben Amorim's side are two goals to the good against Everton after strikes from Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee.
Meanwhile goals from Nicolas Jackson and Enzo Fernandez have put Chelsea 2-0 up against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.
Tottenham have so far struggled against Fulham with Marco Silva's side having the better of the play - however the score remains 0-0 at the break.

Joshua Zirkzee has doubled Man United's lead after grabbing his first goal since the opening weekend of the season!
If Ruben Amorim is looking for his team to press high then he'll have been delighted with this goal.
Amad Diallo dispossessed his man on the right flank and found Bruno Fernandes who closed in on goal.
Instead of going for goal himself, Fernandes led by example to square to it to Zirkzee who slotted it home and boy, you can see the relief on the lad's face!

Enzo Maresca's side are firmly in control here!
This time it's Enzo Fernandes who found the net with a wonderful right-footed effort that flew past his Argentina teammate Emi Martinez and into the bottom corner of the net.
It means that the midfielder continues his gloriously productive run, having scored twice and provided five assists in his last five games.
That £105million price tag is finally starting to pay for itself...

Manchester United lead and it's come from a rather fortuitous goal.
Taking a corner in front of the Stretford End, Bruno Fernandes fizzed the ball to the edge of the box where Marcus Rashford struck it on the volley.
With his effort going wide, Rashford's strike took a big deflection from Jarrod Branthwaite and went beyond Jordan Pickford to put the hosts 1-0 up.
It's been an open and frantic game and that goal was very much the same!

Andreas Pereira has hit out at the media publication who published the 'malicious' interview in which he declared that he wished he'd joined Marseille in the summer.
The Fulham midfielder was quoted as saying that it was 'unfortunate' that the move fell through given his desire to work under Roberto De Zerbi.
Pereira has been left out of the squad for Fulham's clash with Tottenham today, but the Brazilian has now taken to social media to commit his future to Fulham.
He wrote: "I would like to address the article recently published about me.
"Unfortunately, the piece contains statements attributed to me that I did not make and the translation into English was done in a malicious and inaccurate manner, completely distorting my words."
He continued: "I deeply regret the unprofessional conduct displayed in this situation and respectfully request a retraction of the quote falsely attributed to me.
"It is essential to uphold the truth and ensure the public discourse is based on facts."
