Liverpool and Man City are enjoying the pressure of the title race and make keeping on each other's tails "look easy", says Sky Sky Sports' Gary Neville. Pep ...

To come through those games without their two star players, the rest of the squad will feel a million dollars, and you've rested your two best players." "I just thought because he's played Salah in every game, the game that he leaves Salah out in, I thought would be a risk because it tells the rest of the players something. "We had it in the Champions League final, where we had two subs come off the bench and win it for us. "It's the first time Jurgen Klopp's left Mo Salah out in what feels like an absolute age, but he must have felt that was a game that he could leave him out in. And so to keep them included to make them feel part of it, get them on the pitch if you can, even it's for 10 or 15 minutes at the end. Liverpool did very well to come back in and then there were hugs at the end and it's a very pleasant, respectful run-in.

Highlights and reaction as Man City overcome Leeds (Manchester Evening News)

Manchester City have moved straight back to the top of the Premier League standings courtesy of a 4-0 victory over Leeds United.

He could have done with a little help, mind, when sending in a delivish cross from the lef-hand side. He did get a shot away but, as with the follow up from Grealish, it was no real threat to Leeds. City still need to be on alert, but the scoreline is much more under control now. City are belatedly working to slow the game too, and that Jesus goal will wrap up the result. For the majority of the game, we were quite good and we were unlucky not to have a smaller gap in the scoreline. It is a long season and this is the last effort. Changes for Leeds - some enforced - mean they are going to end this game with Harrison and Raphinha as wing-backs. No armband for the well-loved Brazilian midfielder as he came on to the pitch, but he has managed to grab himself a rare, rare goal during that cameo. They are two goals to the good, but have not been at their breath-taking or manipulative best. But in the end we had control and could have scored more. We knew coming here the way they play, we suffered a lot in the first half. Before the match we wanted a good performance and that's what we had.

Liverpool and Man City fixtures comparison can offer hope after ... (Liverpool.com)

Liverpool and Man City both have four fixtures left in the Premier League. There is one slight edge that Pep Guardiola was asked about that the Reds can ...

Strictly speaking, of course, Guardiola is right: nothing changes in terms of what Manchester City (or Liverpool) have to do. The smart money is on both sides winning all of their four remaining fixtures. "We have been in this position many times in the past and now in the present, so it is not new," Guardiola added. Liverpool have Tottenham (H), Aston Villa, Southampton (both away) and Wolves (H) left still to play. They have the better squad, but with four games left, that will likely only have a minimal impact, unless a key man like Kevin de Bruyne was to sustain an injury. That means that the two teams have roughly equally difficult remaining fixtures.

Man City have a crucial second summer transfer priority to give Pep ... (Manchester Evening News)

Manchester City have a few transfer issues this summer, but signing a central midfielder must become an absolute priority.

But Gundogan is part of a host of City players whose contracts expire next summer and there have been no reports of an extension yet. Very rarely has someone come into City and hit the ground running in attacking areas during his reign. Maybe the most efficient part of Pep Guardiola’s marvellous City machine is the midfield trio.

Erling Haaland to Man City transfer 'guaranteed' after Pep Guardiola ... (Daily Express)

PEP GUARDIOLA is supposedly ready to commit his future to Manchester City, just days after Jurgen Klopp did the same at Liverpool.

There is still a hint of mystery about his prospects given that City have played without an orthodox striker, to great effect, for most of the last two seasons. Meanwhile, Klopp claimed: "[Man City] are the best team in the world, but they are only one point ahead of us. Guardiola's agreement will keep him at the Etihad until 2025, with the option to extend for a further year. Manchester City and Real Madrid are the last two standing in pursuit of the Norwegian, and Los Blancos appear to be falling behind. The legendary coach has already won three Premier League titles and four domestic cups since taking the reins in 2016. But fierce rival Jurgen Klopp signed an extension with Liverpool earlier this week, which seems to have spurred the Sky Blues boss into action.

Manchester City moved back to the Premier League table with a 4-0 win over Leeds United on Saturday.

They're going to need to find someone to do a good job for Fernandinho, just because he's been pivotal in City's success." Rodri is Guardiola's first choice defensive-midfielder, but Fernandinho, certainly in recent years, has acted as the perfect back-up option. Despite starting last Saturday's 5-1 triumph over Watford, it was just Fenrnainho's second appearance in City's last nine Premier League games.

Wilkinson: Work still to be done following U18 title triumph (Manchester City FC)

Ben Wilkinson has called for City to finish our title-winning Under-18s Premier League North campaign with a flourish after an emphatic 13-0 win over ...

“They know they have to be right at it in games and training and keep their standards high to have a chance of playing in the final and try and get over the line in that game”. He explained: “We've got a game on Tuesday (against Burnley) and a game on Saturday (against Sunderland) so it's quite easy to tick us over throughout the week. “It was a great way for the lads to celebrate, it was nice to win it and get the trophy on home soil rather than being away, so it's been a great day for us,” the U18s boss reflected following our victory over Newcastle.

Goals, goals, goals: City's free-scoring weekend in review (Manchester City FC)

Four games, four wins, 31 goals and two trophy lifts: it has been a truly incredible weekend of football for Manchester City.

“It was my day and I just have to keep going. Following the game, City’s four-goal heroine reflected: “To get four is an unbelievable feeling. It meant City moved back above Liverpool to the Premier League summit with just four games remaining and have now kept five successive clean sheets on the road in the English top flight, our best run in the competition to date. Gabriel Jesus added a third with his sixth goal in the space of a week, before Fernandinho marked his 260th Premier League appearance – a new record for a Brazilian – with a thunderous late strike. He said: “It was a great way for the lads to celebrate, it was nice to win it and get the trophy on home soil rather than being away, so it's been a great day for us. City had already sealed successive PL2 titles following a 3-1 win at Leeds in our penultimate match of the season but rounded off the campaign with an emphatic display.
