Liverpool moved to within touching distance of their first title in 30 years after beating Crystal Palace 4-0 at Anfield on Wednesday night. Goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, Fabinho and Sadio Mane sealed all three points for the home side. With that, Liverpool need just one more win to guarantee a first top-flight title triumph since 1990. The players and the fans can now feel that they are close to reaching the promised land. “Two points to go to win the league, it’s great,” Salah told Sky Sports. “Since I came here I said I want to win the Premier League. The city did not win it for a long time. “Last year we had a chance but Man City also played really well and deserved it.

West Ham United face Tottenham Hotspur tonight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in both teams’ second game since the Premier League restarted, and while the derby is expected to be fierce given what is at stake for both sides, the lack of fans will definitely affect the players’ morale. Spurs boss Jose Mourinho felt most of the games played since the league resumed resembled friendly games, and Hammers skipper Mark Noble shares the same sentiment. The West Ham midfielder is hoping that tonight’s game is different, and has shared what his Liverpool counterpart Jordan Henderson told him after the Merseyside derby. “There were times on Saturday when it felt a little like a pre-season friendly,” Noble told Standard Sport. “I watched the Merseyside derby on Sunday night and it felt exactly the ...

He was pleased with the effort from his players and was happy with the fact that the Toffees created some very good chances. Very satisfied with the work of my team today.

With massive foreign investment, bumper broadcast contracts and major sponsorship deals, the Premier League is undoubtedly a big money spinner. England’s top flight is awash with cash and its biggest stars are able to earn amounts of money that the majority of the population can only dream about. For any footballer aiming to boost their earnings, securing a move to one of the Manchester clubs is a great way to achieve that goal. United goalkeeper David de Gea is testament to that fact, with his £375,000 per week salary putting him at the top of the Premier League earnings list. That figure puts him way in front of the next two players in the standings, both of whom currently ply their trade with local rivals City. Kevin De Bruyne’s £320,833 per week salary puts him second on the list, whil...
Everton host Liverpool on Sunday when both Merseyside rivals finally resume Premier League action after more than three months, and the city derby is expected to be feisty despite the absence of fans.

Everton striker Richarlison has attempted to wind up Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk ahead of the clash, saying he doesn’t make his top-3 list of the best defenders on the planet. The Brazilian has reminded everyone of how he has already dribbled past the Reds star, and both players will definitely keep an eye out an each other on Sunday. “People talk a lot about him, yes he is a great defender but I’ve already dribbled past him,” Richarlison said of Van Dijk in an intervi...
