Pep Guardiola’s side suffered a dent to their title hopes this weekend when they fell to their second defeat in the space of four days.

Tottenham Hotspur knocked them out of the Carabao Cup in the round of 16 on Wednesday night and Bournemouth then inflicted a 2-1 league defeat at the Vitality on Saturday.

Liverpool, on the other hand, came from behind to beat Brighton 2-1 at Anfield after initially falling behind in the first half. Cody Gakpo and Salah were on the scoresheet to fire the Merseyside club to the top of the Premier League table after 10 games.
