Premier League LIVE SCORES: Liverpool vs Newcastle updates plus latest from Tottenham vs Man City
Midweek Premier League
Welcome! We’ve barely hit Springtime, and it feels the league’s major deciding spots are all but formalities. Or are they?
By 18:45, last Sunday, Liverpool’s silent assassination of Manchester City had them crowned Premier League champions and another weekend of the Bottom Three all losing wrapped up the relegation battle that never was.
But, in true Premier League fashion, nothing is ever really over and the quick gameweek turnaround for this week’s midweek action allows for dreamers. Then, we factor in the ever-growing theatre of the Race for Europe - we’ve got three games tonight that will feature in the league’s ultimate-modern pantomime act.
Brentford have managed to sneak their way into European discussions in the most-Brentford fashion ever. Thomas Frank’s side may be six points behind a Conference League spot, but have six home games from their remaining twelve, including tonight’s encounter with Everton, to push their ambit even further.
Then there’s the blockbusters. Tottenham vs Man City has gradually become the league’s Big Game nexus where narratives fall or grow. For the hosts, a run of three wins and returning players is making a respectable finish to the season more conceivable whilst City’s demise has them scraping for their European elite status.
Add to that the late game, champions elect Liverpool welcome 6th place Newcastle in a game that has all the minerals to deliver and cap off an evening.
Brentford v Everton and Spurs v City: kick-off 7.30pm GMT.
Liverpool v Newcastle: kick-off 8.15pm GMT.
