Never has the growing chasm been more graphically, or painfully in Spurs' case, illustrated than by a glance at the Premier League table after Liverpool made another mark in history with a 1-0 win at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Liverpool's victory, secured by Roberto Firmino's first-half goal, gave them a mammoth 16-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand. The gap to Spurs, in eighth, is 31 points - and they have played a game fewer.
That makes this home game even more important as they bid to keep the eight points lead they have over third placed Sheffield Wednesday. United had been unbeaten in 11 league games before the loss at Fulham on Saturday. Only one home league game has been lost this season and they have won six of their last seven.

There needs to be a more clear way of defining it," he said. Asked about the City fans joining in with the visitors in expressing strong opposition to VAR, Wilder said he was not surprised.

Keita's drive was tipped over the crossbar by Krul, while efforts from Virgil van Dijk and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were comfortable for the Dutch goalkeeper to deal with.

But this was not just any Edinburgh derby. It was the first time the two clubs had met in a Scottish Cup final since 1896. For some of the players, it all got a bit too much. Defender Danny Grainger: "I didn't feel too bad. I think it was more the local lads - I know Ian Black was really nervous. He was in the toilet being sick about 20 minutes before kick-off. I remember walking into the toilets and he was sat there spewing, physically sick with nerves.
Palace remained resolute in their shape, restricting the hosts to just three shots in total during the first half. Zaha handed the visitors the lead in first-half injury time, but Pope will be disappointed to have let the ball squirm past him at the near post.

It was just what Watford required to build on the home win against Norwich City, ensuring momentum was maintained and increasing the peril for the likes of Bournemouth and Aston Villa with Norwich City now relegated. Manager Nigel Pearson has been involved in great escapes before, as an assistant at West Bromwich Albion and in charge at Leicester City - and this result goes a long way towards helping him preserve that record.
There's also been no shortage of shooting action when MK Dons have been involved of late.

Milner: Bournemouth started the weekend in the bottom three and by the end of it they were still there - thanks to James Milner. The Liverpool captain was heroic as he produced what was arguably the clearance of the season. I said after Liverpool's defeat against Watford that the Reds could not afford to be without Jordan Henderson and Milner at the same time and so it proved. Milner was also responsible for a headed clearance that stopped Nathan Ake, who had another impressive performance, from stealing a point.

We deserved to take something more in this game. Nothing to say about the attitude and commitment. We were playing against a confident team.

Liverpool are big favorites here, but Watford could make a miracle. There are two reasons for my pick. First, Liverpool players are very tired, especially the full backs, as well as Van Dijk. According to the statistic, Van Dijk has played 1440 minutes in the Premier League, meaning he fully played all 16 matches (16 x 90 minutes = 1440 minutes). Robertson has played 1426 minutes, while Alexander-Arnold played 1393 minutes. Don't forget they also played in the Champions League.
Everton's decision to sack manager Marco Silva will not only be the catalyst for further turbulence at Goodison Park - it represents a heavy blow to the personal credibility of billionaire owner Farhad Moshiri.
