Liverpool are now the clear 4/7 favourites to win the Premier League title following Sunday's 2-0 victory over Manchester City.
Cody Gakpo’s 12th-minute strike sent them on their way in what was a dominant first-half display but they needed Mohamed Salah’s late penalty – the sixth successive league match in which he has scored and his sixth goal in eight appearances against City – to secure the points.
It's a result that moved them nine points clear of second-placed Arsenal in the Premier League table, with City now 11 points adrift of the leaders as they look to retain their crown.

Sunday's loss at Anfield extended a miserable run of results for Pep Guardiola's side who are now without a win in seven across all competitions.
Six of those have been defeats, and their Champions League encounter against Feyenoord saw a 3-0 lead disappear in the final 20 minutes to draw 3-3.

For Liverpool, they couldn't have asked for a better start to life under Arne Slot following his appointment as Jurgen Klopp's replacement in the summer.
The Reds are now on a 16-game unbeaten run across all competitions with a staggering 15 of those being wins - the 2-2 draw away at Arsenal in October the only time they've dropped points across that period.
They were 10/11 before Sunday's contest, highlighting the significance of the result.
Arsenal are seen as their closest contenders in the betting as Mikel Arteta's side now take second favouritism at 3/1.
But it looks Liverpool's to lose despite only a third of the league season being played.
