Premier league

However, the Reds have coped well with the issue in recent years, remaining unbeaten in their last 34 top-flight games in the month of December.

Manchester City had clinched the title long ago, but a home game with Everton offered a chance for their returning fans to say farewell to a club legend.

One example is that Fulham will be hosting Newcastle at Craven Cottage on the final day and, with both teams struggling at the bottom, it could well determine who goes down. Having Fulham supporters in the ground could aid the home team.

Take a look at the key stats from Sunday’s action.
 

But City have a treble in their sights as the EFL Cup winners seek a victory that would wrap up the top-flight title this weekend and Tuchel knows the Blues, fresh from Wednesday’s 2-0 triumph over Real Madrid, will be up against it at the Etihad Stadium.

However, visiting fans will not be permitted inside the stadiums, a decision taken to make sure there is consistency across the board for all 20 teams.

The former Chelsea captain seems convinced that City will keep up their run of good form. Guardiola, himself, says he his focused on one game at a time but their recent run of victories have made them strong favourites to finish top of the table.

October also saw Salah bank three goals and set up another in his side’s 5-0 thumping of Manchester United, and the Egyptian has now been rewarded with the individual accolade.

United have now won 95 Premier League points after conceding first, seven more than any other team in the history of the competition and, using Opta data, we take a look at more of the best facts from across the day’s matches.

Sixteen of those strikes have actually come away from home, with last weekend’s 5-0 thrashing of Watford representing the fifth top-flight game in a row that they had scored at least three goals.
