    That's all from me today.

    You can catch up on all the Premier League action by tuning into Match of the Day from 22:30 BST on BBC One for highlights.

    Here's the running order (first game from left-to-right):

    Everton v Manchester City, Crystal Palace v Liverpool, West Ham v Southampton, Newcastle v Huddlesfield, Manchester United v Swansea, Watford v Bournemouth, West Brom v Burnley, Brighton v Leicester.

    And you can read the full match from this game by chief football writer Phil McNulty over here.

  2. Elsewhere on BBC Sport...

    Build-up to Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker's big world heavyweight title unification fight is already underway so you can follow that live here.

    You can also get a round-up of all today's games here.

    And all the best stats are accumulated for you here.

  3. Blues must bounce back

    Everton 1-3 Manchester City

    Everton and Manchester City's next opponents are the same - Liverpool.

    The blue Merseysiders must pick themselves up for a crucial local derby and hope to take advantage of Liverpool's double header with City in the Champions League.

    Everton had won their two previous games before today so they can take confidence from those performances.

    Wayne Rooney equalised from the penalty spot in the 77th minute to secure a 1-1 draw in December's Merseyside derby and many would excuse Everton for wishing for a similar result this time around.

  4. Big task for City

    Liverpool inflicted Manchester City's only Premier League defeat of the season at Anfield on 14 January, after they were thumped 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium in September.

    They are standing in the way between City and a place in the Champions League semi-final.

    The first leg is at Anfield on 4 April, with the return on 10 April.

  5. De Bruyne tops the list - the best of the stats

    Everton 1-3 Manchester City

    • City are the 10th team to have beaten every other top flight club within the same season, and the first since Manchester United in 2010-11.
    • Guardiola has now beaten 21 of the 22 Premier League teams he has faced as a manager in the division, only failing to beat Middlesbrough in two attempts (D2).
    • This was the first time that Everton conceded 3+ goals in the first half of a Premier League game at Goodison Park since August 2009 against Arsenal.
    • Since the start of the 2015-16 campaign, Kevin De Bruyne has provided 42 assists in the Premier League, more than any other player in the Top 5 European leagues.
    • No Everton player has been directly involved in more goals in all competitions this season than Dominic Calvert-Lewin (eight goals, six assists), level with Wayne Rooney.

    Adam Butler: Very middle-minded about midweek as a Liverpool fan. The entire tie isn’t going to be 4-8, it’ll be very tight. I hope Man City come to Anfield cocky, if we knock them out it’ll be because they’ve over-thought the occasions.

  7. 'We have to think about Champions League'

    Everton 1-3 Manchester City

    Manchester City

    More from City boss Pep Guardiola speaking to MOTD: "It’s so good, we are so happy after three weeks without a game, you never know how you react.

    "You have to be aggressive, if you are not here and at Anfield you do not do well if you do not show up.

    "It’s two years thinking and training that way, the way we want to play was also last season, no matter home or away we play that way.

    "We have to focus on the Champions League, we have United in the middle but for the line-up we have to think about the Champions League."

  8. 'City's quality can pass through you'

    Everton 1-3 Manchester City

    Everton

    More from Allardyce on changes after the break: "We organised a little, but the main message was 'If you're going to press, do it together, if you drop off, do it together.

    "That was part of the trouble in the first half, where individual members of the front line pressed and with City's quality they can pass through you.

    "We did as much as we could, tried as much as we could and I think that has been the same for every team bar Liverpool."

  9. 'We did as much as we could'

    Everton 1-3 Manchester City

    Everton

    Everton manager Sam Allardyce speaking to MOTD: "Manchester City are a top quality team, you have to admire a team that especially in the first half were too good for you. As much as the lads tried it was something we couldn't cope with.

    "The real turning point was when we should've scored with Bolasie and gone 1-1 and they scored.

    "It was very difficult when they scored, I thought Silva was offside for one of the goals but what can you do.

    "We fought, battled, scored and tried to go until the very end. All their 11 are fantastic in that system and that's why they are so far ahead.

    "We controlled the game and it was a huge victory. It was the first time as a manager I was able to beat Everton.

    "It was a long time we weren't together so you always think 'what could happen' but it was good.

    "We were clinical especially in the first half. Everybody committed to win the game. Now it is one more game and we will be champions.

    "The fans it is significant. It is special. it is important we win - no matter where. Of course the most important thing is these two games.

    "We have to go to Anfield with good feelings. Now we have a few days to prepare for this game."

    "It would mean the world to our fans.I have lived in Manchester long enough to know what it means.

    Andy: Pep is a great manager, but for all the money Everton have spent this year, a couple of injuries and the Toffees subs cost £14m. The City subs close to 100m. The wealth divide is still significant

    Anon: Watching Man City with all that passing is very dull viewing. Would not want to see that style of football every week

  19. Post update

    Pep Guardiola's 50th Premier League win as a manager takes him within one win from the title.

  20. 'City eased off'

    Everton 1-3 Manchester City

    Fred Eyre

    Former Man City player on BBC Radio Manchester

    City levelled off in the second half. They were just doing enough, and there was a bit more spirit from Everton after a dressing room mauling. Over 90 minutes, a good performance, scintillating over the first 45 minutes.
