When could the title and relegation be decided? How are European spots shaping up? We set out the top-flight latestLiverpool’s 12-point lead means they need a maximum of 16 points from their nine games to put themselves out of Arsenal’s reach and secure the title. If Arsenal go on a winning run this could take Liverpool into May even without dropping any points, but if Mikel Arteta’s side lose their next three it could all be over as soon as 13 April, when Liverpool play West Ham at home.

68 h. ago Matheus Cunha: ‘All we want in life is affection – Wolves gave me back that joy’

Brazil striker may be on the move this summer but after a troubled journey he has found happiness at MolineuxMatheus Cunha’s time at Wolverhampton Wanderers may be coming to an end but the Brazilian forward will never forget his time with the club.
