Liverpool are two wins away from being crowned Premier League champions after Manchester City slipped up at Old Trafford yesterday.

The Citizens boss Pep Guardiola has backed his goalkeeper Ederson meanwhile, after his mistakes gifted rivals Manchester United a 2-nil Premier League win.

The Brazilian allowed Anthony Martial's routine shot to squirm under his body and threw a clearance straight to Scott McTominay who scored into an open goal.

Guardiola says it's not something he's worried about.

Elsewhere yesterday Carlo Ancelotti had a miserable return to his old club Chelsea.

His Everton side were thrashed 4-0 with goals coming from Mason Mount, Olivier Giroud, Willian (PRON: WILL-EE-ANN) and Pedro.

The result means Frank Lampard's side have a three point cushion in fourth position in the table.

Third place Leicester aim to win their first game in the top flight since January later when they host Aston Villa - who would move out of the relegation zone with a victory.

Kick off at the King Power is at 8pm.
