Liverpool are 6-5 to win the Premier League after extending their winning league run to 17 matches with a dramatic 2-1 home victory over Leicester at Anfield.

The Reds, 4-9 shots to see off the Foxes, looked set to drop points for the first time this season as James Maddison equalised Sadio Mane's opener with just ten minutes remaining.

However, James Milner converted a 95th-minute penalty to make it eight wins out of eight for the league leaders this season. Despite that perfect start, Jurgen Klopp's men remain second-favourites for the title behind 4-5 Manchester City.

Tottenham's Mauricio Pochettino is 5-2 with Hills to be the next Premier League manager to leave his position after a shock 3-0 defeat for Spurs at Brighton on Saturday.

Beaten 7-2 by Bayern Munich on Tuesday night, Tottenham made the worst possible start as goalkeeper Hugo Lloris suffered an arm injury while conceding a third-minute goal to Neal Maupay.

Youngster Aaron Connolly scored a brace for Brighton, who had been 3-1 to win the game and 66-1 to triumph by a 3-0 scoreline. The Seagulls have been eased to 100-30 for relegation.

Everton's Marco Silva is also feeling the pressure following a 1-0 defeat at Burnley. The Toffees slipped to 17th in the table and Silva is 11-10 to be the next top-flight manager to lose his job.

Aston Villa produced an eye-catching 5-1 win at Norwich with striker Wesley scoring twice and bottom club Watford drew 0-0 with Sheffield United.

West Ham have been nudged out to 7-1 to finish in the Premier League top six after relinquishing the lead to lose 2-1 at home to Crystal Palace.

The Eagles hit 12-1 in-play after Sebastien Haller broke the deadlock in the 54th minute but a Patrick van Aanholt strike and a late VAR-awarded goal from Jordan Ayew helped them seal three points.

Newcastle, who host Manchester United on Sunday, are 5-6 favourites for relegation.
