3rd & 7 37yd

This is only the beginning for Liverpool: Brendan Rodgers
FirstpostThe Reds exceeded expectations to come tantalisingly close to ending their agonising 24-year title wait but defeats by Chelsea and draw at Crystal Palace in their last two games have dealt body blow to their hopes.

Liverpool lose grip on title because they'd already won in their hearts
FirstpostAs The Kop sang we're gonna win the league, Rodgers' team did the opposite on the pitch â they let the title slip. Mourinho closed the gaps between the lines as Liverpool's tiny zippy players found it hard to get past Chelsea's parked bus.

Sam Allardyce to the BBC: "It's about showing we're committed to the end of the last game even though we're safe against what's looking like being the champions.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 1:21:53 PM
STAT: Ryan Giggs is not even on the bench for Man United, which means his run of scoring in every single Premier League season he has appeared in - ENDS.

If Man City win the Premier League this season, they will have spent a record low of 15 days on top spot throughout a campaign.

We will be keeping a close eye on Man City vs West Ham, but will give you goal updates from across all the PL games today.

Just 30 minutes until kick-off here at St. Mary's, where the sun is shining and the teams are currently warming up. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BnW8Gv8IQAAksdl.jpg

by Manchester United via twitter 5/11/2014 1:35:00 PM
Cardiff have received the fewest cards (49) in this season's Premier League campaign. Best disciplinary record or not aggressive enough?

by Squawka Football via twitter 5/11/2014 1:39:08 PM
More disgraceful racism. This time aimed at Milan players at Atalanta. Truly appalling! http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BnW8XZKCIAIX5f7.jpg

by Gary Lineker via twitter 5/11/2014 1:39:50 PM
STAT: Aguero has scored a goal on average every 85 mins in the EPL, the best goals-to-mins record in the Premier League. (Min 10 goals)

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 1:40:10 PM
Arsenal spent 128 days in total at the top the Premier League table this season, more than any other club. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BnW9FZFIQAAlWoL.jpg

Liverpool finish warm-up in front of a Gerrard banner: "For what is a man, what has he got, if not himself then he has naught"

by Oliver Holt via twitter 5/11/2014 1:49:03 PM
That banner in the sky is disgraceful. Whoever responsible for it should be ashamed. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BnXBmjeCYAAjI8I.png

KICK-OFF!

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:00:36 PM
5 minutes: Free-flowing from Manchester City so far -- West Ham hardly offered a sniff of the ball as the champions-elect set the pace.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:06:15 PM
Close! Shola Ameobi heads wide from a Vurnon Anita corner — that would have really buried Liverpool's confidence...

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:07:37 PM
8 minutes: Excellent work down the left between Silva and Kolarov -- the latter pumps it in but West Ham clear.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:09:11 PM
9 minutes: Ooohh now from the right -- Dzeko with the low cross -- it was rising and Noble's clearance almost worked his own keeper.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:09:44 PM
11 minutes: My word what a chance! Zabaleta crosses in from the right and it falls to Silva on his left foot at the perfect height but the diminutive midfielder fires over. At Anfield, Raheem Sterling was one-on-one against Krul but was crowded out -- no penalty give.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:12:05 PM
14 minutes: Zabaleta finds himself inside the box this time and wants to sweep it in with his right foot -- he's been taken out by Diame but no penalty.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:15:01 PM
GOALS: Sorry United fans, but Spurs have taken the first step towards that Europa League spot with a Paulinho goal. Bellamy has scored for Cardiff against Chelsea and Dyer and Emnes have given Swansea a 2-0 lead. Everton also lead hull thanks to James McCarthy.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:18:12 PM
20 minutes: OWN GOAL!! Newcastle attack down the left and the low cross is put into his own net by Martin Skrtel.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:21:20 PM
Earlier, a quick freekick from Suarez was denied -- the Uruguayan had brilliantly dinked it over Krul.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:24:54 PM
25 minutes: Another chance for City! Aguero escapes down the left, manages to keep the ball in and lays it up for Dzeko from the byline. Fired over again!

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:26:46 PM
27 minutes: Gouffran is one-on-one vs Mignolet... and he can't beat the Belgian. Anita gets the rebound and embarrasses himself by blasting it over. Wow, that would have been that for Liverpool.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:28:26 PM
GOALS: Stoke have taken the lead over West Brom after a Gareth McAuley own goal and Ryan Giggs' Manchester United are down 0-1 after Rickie Lambert's strike.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:30:47 PM
32 minutes: Kevin Nolan reaches out with a high-boot as Joe Hart rushes to collect a cross from the left -- he gets a yellow card for it -- however, he immediately apologised.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:32:33 PM
33 minutes: Brilliant football from City - Nasri to Dzeko to Silva who sails into the box and gets confused between crossing and shooting. He eventually decides to keep the ball loses out to a hard tackle. Meanwhile,Suarez takes on three players before hitting a weak shot.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:34:34 PM
GOALLL!!! 40 minutes: Yaya Toure with a short pass to Samir Nasri, who takes a couple touches before slamming his shot in and off the post for 1-0. Is that the title?

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:41:41 PM
GOALS: A Baker own goal and an Adebayor penalty means Spurs lead Villa 3-0.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:42:27 PM
Samir Nasri's goal that may well win City the title. #MCFC #EPL #MCIWHU

by World Soccer Talk via twitter 5/11/2014 2:43:12 PM
45 minutes: Off the bar!! Nasri to Silva, whose curling effort from a crowd of players is deflected by Andy Carroll and onto the bar - so close.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:47:58 PM
HALF-TIME all round.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 2:48:16 PM
And we're back!

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 3:03:09 PM
GOAL update: Romelu Lukaku has given Jose Mourinho more reason to NOT sell him -- he scores his 15th PL goal and doubles Everton's lead.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 3:05:49 PM
GOALLLL!! 49 minutes: Corner comes in from the left and it's not cleared -- falls for skipper Vincent Kompany who swivels and seals the 2nd goal. That should be the title.

by FP Sports 5/11/2014 3:08:09 PM
[And somewhere, out of sight, as Man City's joy balloon inflates, Michel Platini waits with the world's biggest pin]
