Manchester City take on Leeds at Elland Road on Saturday evening and they find themselves two points behind Liverpool in the Premier League table after the Reds triumphed over Newcastle 1-0 in the lunchtime kick-off.

There is no room for slip-ups and Pep Guardiola’s men need to win in Yorkshire if they are to move one step closer to retaining their title. At this stage and at the level which the two title-chasing teams are performing at, a draw would feel like a defeat.

As they fight on multiple fronts, their epic midweek Champions League thriller against Real Madrid ended with City claiming a memorable 4-3 victory but what has that 90 minutes taken out of them? With the return leg against Madrid coming just four days after their trip to face Leeds, could the English champions take their eye off the ball?

For the Whites, not only do they want to derail City’s title charge but - slightly out of nowhere - they have found themselves dragged back into a relegation battle. They did earn themselves a precious point against Crystal Palace on Monday but with Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea their next three fixtures, a five-point buffer to Everton could quickly disappear for Jesse Marsch’s troops, so they will know they need to fight for everything as the season draws to a close.

Follow all the action from a crunch match at Elland Road below following the conclusion of the 3pm KOs:

Leeds vs Man City

  • Leeds XI: Meslier, Struijk, Ayling, Firpo, Klich, Raphinha, Harrison, Phillips, Dallas, Koch, Rodrigo

  • Man City XI: Ederson, Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Ake, Rodrigo, Gundogan, Grealish, Jesus, Foden, Sterling

  • GOAL! - 13’: Rodri gives Man City an early lead

  • GOAL! - 54’: Ake finishes from close range to double champions’ advantage

  • GOAL! - 90+3: Fernandinho drives home fourth in stoppage time

Leeds United FC 0 - 4 Manchester City FC

FT: Leeds 0-4 Man City

19:33 , Dylan Terry

Full-time: Manchester City respond to Liverpool’s win with a victory of their own.

They were made to work hard for it for the best part of an hour after Rodri gave them an early lead. Leeds had their moments in the match before Nathan Ake tucked home the visitors’ second. Gabriel Jesus made it three with a smart finish after a second assist of the afternoon from Phil Foden. And Fernandinho thumped home a fourth late on.

A good performance from the champions. They return to the top of the table.

GOAL! Leeds 0-4 Man City (Fernandinho, 90+3)

19:27 , Dylan Terry

90+3 mins: Fernandino with a rare goal!

Sterling goes down looking for a penalty and when referee Paul Tierney says no, Fernandinho steps onto the ball and thumps it into the bottom corner.

And that’s the final action.

Leeds 0-3 Man City

19:26 , Dylan Terry

90 mins: Leeds should have had a consolation. Dan James goes round Ederson but his effort is blocked on the line.

Gundogan then heads just wide at the other end, before Ederson denies Gelhardt with a good save with his foot.

Could have been three goals in the last three attacks. As it is, it’s still 3-0.

And there is three minutes of stoppage time. Of which we have already had one.

Leeds 0-3 Man City

19:22 , Dylan Terry

88 mins: Should have been four. Bernardo Silva finds Cancelo in acres of space and the full-back is one-on-one with Meslier. He is caught in two minds and instead blasts the ball straight at the Leeds keeper.

The home side so, so open now.

Leeds 0-3 Man City

19:20 , Dylan Terry

87 mins: Leeds go in search of a consolation as Raphinha lays it into Gelhardt. He tries a low cross from the right side of the penalty area but Laporte blocks easily his his leg.

City back on the ball. Sapping the energy out of the match.

Leeds 0-3 Man City

19:19 , Dylan Terry

85 mins: Man City professionally seeing out this game now. They have Real Madrid in four days time, I don’t blame them.

It’s been a spirited display from Leeds, but they have lacked any sort of cutting edge in the final third.

Leeds 0-3 Man City

19:17 , Dylan Terry

83 mins: SUB! Also a change for Leeds as Sam Greenwood comes on for Rodrigo.

Leeds 0-3 Man City

19:17 , Dylan Terry

83 mins: SUB! As I say that, here comes Fernandinho. He replaces Rodri - the scorer of Manchester City’s opening goal.

Leeds 0-3 Man City

19:16 , Dylan Terry

82 mins: It’s taken me 80 minutes to remember that Kevin de Bruyne isn’t playing for Manchester City, such is the quality and depth of their squad.

Kyle Walker, Riyad Mahrez and Fernandinho among the other players who have not featured today.

Leeds 0-3 Man City

19:14 , Dylan Terry

80 mins: SUB! That assist was Foden’s second of the match and his final contribution.

He comes off for Bernardo Silva.

GOAL! Leeds 0-3 Man City (Jesus, 78)

19:12 , Dylan Terry

78 mins: Well, that really is game, set and match.

Foden picks the ball up just inside the Leeds half and drives into the acres of empty space. He assesses his options and then slides a delightful pass through the middle for Jesus. The Brazilian takes one touch to steady himself before lashing past Meslier.

Job done.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

19:11 , Dylan Terry

78 mins: Cancelo finds himself inside the Leeds box with time and space to shoot but eventually Koch is across to block as the Portuguese defender takes too long to pick his spot.

Leeds come forward again. They aren’t giving this one up.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

19:09 , Dylan Terry

76 mins: Credit to Leeds. After a dip in their energy for 15 minutes after the goal, now they have come again.

If they get one back then you can bet your house on Elland Road erupting to new levels.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

19:08 , Dylan Terry

74 mins: Interesting moment, that. Raphinha goes across to take the corner and his own fans are chucking pieces of paper towards him. He turns to them and shrugs as if to say ‘why are you doing that?’

He has a point.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

19:07 , Dylan Terry

72 mins: CHANCE! Oh what a block that is from Aymeric Laporte as Raphinha looks destined to score.

Leeds tear forward and Raphinha cuts in, beating Dias all ends up. He takes the shot on from inside the area but Laporte springs across to get a foot in the way and deflect the effort over the top.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

19:04 , Dylan Terry

70 mins: Oh dear. Leeds break in numbers and look to be creating something dangerous until Raphinha’s inswinging cross from the far side is so overhit that it ends up in the crowd.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

19:03 , Dylan Terry

68 mins: YELLOWS! Leeds manager Jesse Marsch has been booked by referee Paul Tierney. I think it was one of his coaching staff that was actually responsible for the poor behaviour on the touchline, but the rules dictate that the manager receives the caution.

Moments later Joao Cancelo gets a yellow of his own for a late tackle on Harrison.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

19:00 , Dylan Terry

66 mins: Manchester City are moving back above Liverpool in the Premier League title race with four games remaining. They will regain their one-point lead over Jurgen Klopp’s men.

The fight has gone out of Leeds in the last 10 minutes. That Ake goal has killed them off.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

18:59 , Dylan Terry

64 mins: Cancelo finds Sterling in space on the right. He sends an early cross into Foden but Koch just gets there ahead of him to head it behind for another Manchester City corner.

This one is dealt with by Dan James and as Leeds try to break the visitors’ sweeper Ederson is there to clear away the danger 40 yards from his own goal.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

18:57 , Dylan Terry

63 mins: SUB! Joe Gelhardt is on for Junio Firpo as Leeds search for a way back into this game.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

18:56 , Dylan Terry

62 mins: CHANCE! Nearly a third for Manchester City as they turn the screw.

Grealish cuts inside off the left touchline and lays it to Gundogan. The German opens his body up and curls one towards the top corner but it’s inches wide of the post.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

18:54 , Dylan Terry

60 mins: SUB! One of Ake’s final contributions was that goal. He is replaced by Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

18:53 , Dylan Terry

Here is how Manchester City went two goals in front nine minutes into the second half.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

18:53 , Dylan Terry

58 mins: Man City win themselves a corner and Grealish is pelted with pieces of paper as he tries to take it.

He laughs it off, but there was a tiny little kid throwing stuff at the Man City man. Not what you want to see.

Man City totally in control now.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:51 , Dylan Terry

56 mins: For all of Leeds’ hardwork and impressive performances, they have conceded from two set-pieces. That will be so disappointing for Jesse Marsch.

By contrast, Manchester City have now netted 18 times from set-pieces this season - more than any other Premier League side.

GOAL! Leeds 0-2 Man City (Ake, 54)

18:48 , Dylan Terry

54 mins: It’s in from the corner. Game over?

Another set-piece and another goal for the Premier League champions. Foden sends the corner into the box, Dias nods it down and Ake sweeps home from inside the six-yard box.

So easy. So simple. Probably the knockout blow.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:47 , Dylan Terry

54 mins: Man City’s turn to pour forward.

Jesus finds Sterling down the right and the England international cuts in past one, two, three Leeds players before skewing his shot. It’s such a timid effort that Grealish gets it back under control and goes for a curling effort of his own but it’s well wide. Has to do better there.

City come again as Cancelo crosses for Jesus but Ayling puts it behind for a corner.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:46 , Dylan Terry

52 mins: Leeds are giving Manchester City a real game. Newcastle struggled to really take the game to Liverpool earlier, even though they did stay in it throughout. But Leeds are offering a more dynamic approach going forward.

City come forward now though...

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:45 , Dylan Terry

50 mins: Rodrigo sends a cross into the box which Harrison leaps for but Ederson is there ahead of him. Harrison goes down and the fans plead for a penalty but the Leeds man is laughing on the floor. He knows it wasn’t.

Such an atmosphere at Elland Road.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:43 , Dylan Terry

48 mins: Grealish bursts beyond Ayling and sends a great ball across the face of goal but Jesus, Sterling and Foden are all stood on the edge of the box. Grealish looks crestfallen.

The ex-Villa man is being booed at every opportunity by the home fans. Not sure why. Because he has been fouled a load of times?

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:40 , Dylan Terry

46 mins: Back underway then and Junior Firpo is straight on the front foot as he bursts down the left and plays in a cross which momentarily has Ederson worried but ends up dropping beyond the far post.

HT: Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:38 , Dylan Terry

The players are back out so we are going to be underway in the next few moments. A reminder that Dan James came on for Stuart Dallas at the end of that first half.

HT: Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:35 , Dylan Terry

For those of you just joining us, the second half will be underway about 10 minutes later than schedule.

This is due to Stuart Dallas being stretchered off in the first half after injuring himself following a bad challenge on Jack Grealish.

HT: Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:30 , Dylan Terry

This is Rodri’s goal which separates the two sides at half-time.

HT: Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:24 , Dylan Terry

Half-time: Well, after nearly nine minutes of stoppage time at the end of the first half the referee finally brings it to a close.

Rodri’s header separates the two sides but Leeds have grown into the contest and could have levelled had they been more competent in the final third.

Jack Grealish has been on the end of some meaty challenges and Stuart Dallas has been stretchered off after taking out the former Aston Villa man.

But at the end of all of that, Manchester City lead.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:22 , Dylan Terry

45+7 mins: Dallas is being stretchered off as the Leeds fans stand to applaud him.

Dan James comes on in place of the injured defender. A very attacking substitution from Jesse Marsch, even if he was forced into making a change.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:20 , Dylan Terry

45+5 mins: Grealish is up but the stretcher has come on for Dallas. He has seriously injured himself with that wild tackle.

Dan James is going to replace him.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:19 , Dylan Terry

45+3 mins: Good god. Grealish and Dallas fly in to a challenge again. I’m sorry, but that is referee Paul Tierney’s fault.

Dallas has clattered into Grealish and hurt himself in the process. But he would not have done that if the referee had penalised him earlier on.

That was Dallas’ FIFTH foul of the match. He is yet to be booked.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:17 , Dylan Terry

45+2 mins: Leeds struggling to get out of their own half in the last few minutes. Man City have stopped the home side’s momentum somewhat.

Looks like we will be going in at 1-0.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:15 , Dylan Terry

45 mins: There will be four minutes of stoppage time. Mainly due to the head clash between Laporte and Koch.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:15 , Dylan Terry

45 mins: Grealish is fuming. He feels he is being mistreated by Leeds and the referee. He has a point.

Can Leeds level things up now before the break?

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:13 , Dylan Terry

43 mins: CHANCE! Man City should double their lead. It’s awful from Leeds as they give the ball away on the edge of their own box. Jesus finds Sterling unmarked inside the area but his shot is blocked as the net was waiting to bulge.

Let off for the home side.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:12 , Dylan Terry

43 mins: Grealish beats Dallas on the outside and is fouled but AGAIN referee Paul Tierney is having none of it.

Has he done something personally?

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:11 , Dylan Terry

42 mins: Ederson comes a long way to punch the corner away. Koch lobs it back in over the top of Ederson but Laporte is back to clear away.

Man City on the ropes just now. They need to ride out this storm and get to the break.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:10 , Dylan Terry

40 mins: It’s as if the first half hour of action was Leeds conserving their energy for the final 15 minutes of the half. They are now full of running, full of pressing, full of belief.

Raphinha wins the ball in the middle of the park and plays a neat one-two with Dallas before forcing a corner.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:08 , Dylan Terry

38 mins: Raphinha drives down the right and tries to find Dallas who has bombed on into the box but the pass to him is easy for Ake to intercept.

Leeds have it back again though. Klich clips a cross towards the back post which Gundogan does well to head clear.

Man City then break as Cancelo sends a mesmeric crossfield ball into Jesus. The Brazilian cuts inside and curls his shot straight at Meslier.

END. TO. END.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:06 , Dylan Terry

36 mins: The Leeds crowd REALLY fancy this now. After a dull 25 minutes, the home side have come alive with their energy and pressing.

Man City are being rushed now. They are by no means comfortable out there.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:04 , Dylan Terry

34 mins: Suddenly the Elland Road crowd bursts into life as Leeds pour forward in numbers.

Phillips clips it out to Raphinha and he goes down under a challenge from Laporte but it was a fair one. Leeds then probe down the other side and Harrison’s backbreaking run down the left earns his side a throw.

A lovely move then reaches Firpo and he tries his luck from a tight angle but it’s a few yards over the top.

Better from the hosts.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:02 , Dylan Terry

32 mins: Oh that’s superb from Grealish. He skips past Dallas on the touchline and then comes inside beyond Ayling. He is clearly fouled yet again but tries to stay on his feet and when he eventually loses the ball referee Paul Tierney ignores his protests.

The ref is having a poor game so far. Has got a lot of minor decisions wrong. Even the free-kick which led to City’s goal was probably not a foul.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

18:00 , Dylan Terry

30 mins: It comes to nothing as Foden tries a training ground move that no other player arrived at the meeting for.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

17:58 , Dylan Terry

29 mins: A bit better from Leeds as they pinch the ball on halfway and Raphinha drives forward before looking for Klich but it’s just behind the Polish midfielder.

Sterling then earns his side a free-kick midway inside the Leeds half.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

17:57 , Dylan Terry

27 mins: Foden delivers a Manchester City corner which is easily dealt with at the front post.

City get the ball straight back and begin their slow build-up play once more. The tempo of the match is suiting the visitors. They can up it at will, but also knock it around without a care in the world.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

17:55 , Dylan Terry

25 mins: Aside from Cancelo’s slip and Rodri’s goal, there has been very little to shout about from either team so far.

Given Leeds dropped to 17th place earlier today, you would have thought they may start with a bit more urgency.

Then again, they may me fearful of being picked off early on.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

17:53 , Dylan Terry

23 mins: Leeds eventually win the ball back and look to break inside the Manchester City half. Klich plays it out to Raphinha but he has needlessly drifted offside.

The game has now been stopped due to a huge number of cards being thrown onto the pitch from the Leeds fans. They were using them in the stands before the game but now they have migrated onto the pitch.

Stop-start since the goal.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

17:52 , Dylan Terry

21 mins: Grealish chopped down for a second time this afternoon. It’s Dallas again who is the culprit.

Man City have not relinquished the ball since the restart. They have Leeds right where they want them at this moment.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

17:50 , Dylan Terry

19 mins: Laporte didn’t move for two minutes but it looks like he is going to continue here. You can see the bump on the side of his head. Find it baffling that he is continuing.

Koch also staying on.

We are back underway.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

17:48 , Dylan Terry

17 mins: Both Laporte and Koch are down on the ground receiving treatment. Koch has sat up but Laporte has not moved.

Doesn’t look good for the Manchester City man. You can’t imagine he is going to stay on the pitch here, even if it isn’t serious.

Leeds 0-1 Man City

17:46 , Dylan Terry

15 mins: Immediately after the deadlock is broken, Leeds have their own free-kick as Grealish fouls Raphinha.

it’s swung in dangerously and Gundogan gets there first to clear it away.

Leeds come again as Raphinha delivers towards the front post but Laporte gets there and a nasty clash of heads sees the Man City defender left in a heap on the floor.

Leeds 0-1 Man City (Rodri, 13)

17:42 , Dylan Terry

12 mins: Manchester City lead through Rodri.

Gundogan looks set to take the free-kick but it ends up being an outswinger from Foden and Rodri gets across his marker to nod beyond Ilan Meslier at the far post.

Textbook set-piece. The champions ahead.

Leeds 0-0 Man City

17:42 , Dylan Terry

12 mins: Stuart Dallas penalised for bringing down Raheem Sterling on the near touchline. Another chance for Gundogan to deliver an enticing ball into the box.

Oh and there it is...

Leeds 0-0 Man City

17:41 , Dylan Terry

12 mins: City have been camped inside the Leeds half for the opening 12 minutes of this game, but they haven’t really created anything of note just yet.

Meanwhile, Gareth Southgate is spotted in the stands. He was at Newcastle vs Liverpool earlier today and has now made the journey to Leeds for this one.

Leeds 0-0 Man City

17:40 , Dylan Terry

10 mins: Ayling snaps into a challenge on Foden after the ball has gone. Referee Paul Tierney does not blow for a foul and Ayling ends up putting the ball out of play when Foden fails to get back to his feet.

Foden fuming. Tierney unmoved.

Leeds 0-0 Man City

17:37 , Dylan Terry

8 mins: YELLOW! Firpo pulls Foden back after the England international rolls him superbly. The Leeds defender receives an early booking for the infringement.

Gundogan delivers the free-kick into the box and Ake heads over.

Leeds 0-0 Man City

17:36 , Dylan Terry

6 mins: Well, if Manchester City were somewhat sleepwalking into this match then they are well and truly awake now.

The champions get back to their passing play after a worrying moment for Cancelo and Pep Guardiola’s side.

That could have been a huge moment in the match, so early on.

Leeds 0-0 Man City

17:34 , Dylan Terry

4 mins: CHANCE FOR LEEDS! Oh it was nearly a slip which blew the title race open! Where have we seen that before?!

A Man City corner ends up with Joao Cancelo picking up the ball on the halfway line but he slips! Rodrigo is clean through but he takes way too many touches, ends up too wide to take the shot on and Laporte is back there to clear away.

Leeds had to make them pay there. Nearly catastrophic for Cancelo.

Leeds 0-0 Man City

17:32 , Dylan Terry

3 mins: Manchester City straight into their passing rhythm as Leeds get organised into their defensive structure.

You imagine a lot of the game will be spent with this pattern of play.

Real Madrid clinch La Liga title as Carlo Ancelotti completes the ‘grand slam’

17:31 , Karl Matchett

Breaking news related to Man City, given their midweek European adventures: Real Madrid have claimed the title in Spain.

Last season the championship was won by their local rivals Atletico Madrid, but Los Blancos bounced back to seal title number 35 in relative comfort this season following the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti as head coach.

Indeed, their success means the Italian boss becomes the first and only manager to win each of La Liga, the Premier League, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga - the top five leagues in European football.

He was in charge at the Santiago Bernabeu from 2013 to 2015, failing to win the title on that occasion, but has succeeded this time around after returning following a spell with Everton.

Real Madrid clinch La Liga title as Ancelotti completes the ‘grand slam’

Leeds 0-0 Man City

17:31 , Dylan Terry

2 mins: Gabriel Jesus has started off on the right-hand side, with Jack Grealish on the other flank and Phil Foden through the middle.

KICK-OFF: Leeds 0-0 Man City

17:30 , Dylan Terry

1 min: We are underway at Elland Road! The Premier League champions get us going in Yorkshire.

Leeds vs Man City

17:29 , Dylan Terry

Kick-off is just a few minutes away.

Liam Cooper was injured in the warm-up so Mateusz Klich is in for him at the last moment.

Leeds vs Man City latest news

17:19 , Karl Matchett

We are just a few minutes from kick-off now and today’s results mean this game is vital at both ends of the table.

Obviously, City need to win to go back to the top and stay in control of the Premier League title race. A draw will leave them one point behind Liverpool with four games to play.

At the other end, Burnley’s late turnaround sees them now five points clear of the relegation zone, which has seen Norwich confirmed as down today. Watford are all but there too, only one point ahead.

But then it’s a three-way fight between Everton (29 points), Leeds (34) and Burnley (34) for the other place. Following this fixture, the Clarets will have played 34, Leeds the same and Everton only 32 - they face Chelsea at home tomorrow.

Mino Raiola: Agent of Paul Pogba and Erling Haaland dies after illness

17:15 , Karl Matchett

Elsewhere, there’s sad news from the football world this afternoon as Mino Raiola has been confirmed as having died following illness.

The Italian had been hospitalised earlier in the year and on Thursday, his Twitter account posted to dismiss misinformation spreading that he had passed away.

However, the same social media platform has been used now for his family to release a statement confirming he had lost his battle to regain health.

Jurgen Klopp salutes ‘role model’ James Milner as Liverpool march on

17:11 , Karl Matchett

Jurgen Klopp saluted “role model” James Milner after Liverpool maintained their quadruple challenge with a 1-0 Premier League victory at Newcastle.

The 36-year-old former Magpie, who made his senior debut for Leeds almost 20 years ago, was one of five men drafted into Klopp’s much-changed starting line-up for a vital league game sandwiched between the two legs of the Champions League semi-final clash with Villarreal, and turned in a fine individual display.

Asked if he had come across a fitter 36-year-old, Klopp said with a smile: “No, but it would be interesting to look at Luka Modric. Is he not 36 as well? It was obviously a good generation.

“No, it’s difficult to be fitter than Milly. He’s a role model. I have told him, I can tell the whole world – nothing we have achieved in the last few years would have happened without James Milner, it’s as easy as that.

“Whether he was on the pitch or not, he’s set standards in a way not a lot of people can set standards, and it educated all of us.”

Match-winning midfield mix shows Klopp’s capacity to keep Liverpool challenging

17:07 , Karl Matchett

Liverpool went top of the Premier League table earlier on today with a 1-0 win over Newcastle. They dominated and created plenty more chances but didn’t add to their tally - yet the single-goal victory proved enough to send them above Man City with a significantly rotated team.

The likes of James Milner and Joe Gomez came into the side and performed well for the Reds, who left Thiago, Salah, Fabinho and Alexander-Arnold all on the bench - and yet still proved far too strong for their opponents, who had been on a great run on home soil.

It all highlights how well Klopp is managing his resources and keeping Liverpool on-point as they chase an incredible quadruple this season.

One more game to go!

Manchester City’s epic Champions League thriller against Real Madrid ended with Pep Guardiola’s side claiming a memorable 4-3 victory.

But what has that 90 minutes taken out of their Premier League title charge? With the return leg against Madrid coming just four days after their trip to face Leeds, could the English champions take their eye off the ball this weekend?

Jesse Marsch’s men earned themselves a precious point against Crystal Palace on Monday as they moved further clear of the relegation zone.

But with Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea their next three fixtures, a five-point buffer to Everton could quickly disappear, so they will know they need to fight for everything as the season draws to a close.

Here’s everything you need to know before the match today.
