Second-placed Liverpool closed the gap in the EPL title race with a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Fabinho converted a controversial late penalty to seal the win for the Reds, adding on to earlier goals from Virgil Van Dijk and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The win leaves Jurgen Klopp’s side nine points behind leaders Man City, with a game in hand.

Man City are reportedly set for a battle to retain the services of manager Pep Guardiola.

The EPL champions have been trying to tie him down to a new contract, but reports say the Netherlands FA could move in, to tempt him with an offer to coach a national team.

Guardiola’s current deal with City expires in August next year…with the four-time Premier League winner yet to express his interest in staying at the Etihad.
