Liverpool restored their 13-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Wolves at Anfield on Sunday.

The Reds, 1-20 for the Premier League title, followed up their Boxing Day demolition of Leicester City with their 18th league win of the season thanks to Sadio Mane's first-half strike.

However, it was VAR which again stole the headlines. Mane's goal was originally ruled out for handball before being reinstated by the video referees, who controversially ruled out a Wolves equaliser a few minutes later for offside.

Arsenal conceded twice in the final ten minutes of their London derby with Chelsea to lose 2-1 at the Emirates in Mikel Arteta's first home game in charge.

The defeat means the Gunners have lost more league matches than they have won this season and they are 66-1 to be relegated and 4-1 to still make the top six.

Tammy Abraham scored the winning goal at the Emirates and is 12-1 to win the Premier League golden boot behind 6-5 favourite Jamie Vardy and 8-1 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who had put Arsenal into the lead.

With 17 Premier League goals Vardy is four clear of Aubameyang on 13 while Abraham, Manchester United's Marcus Rashford and Southampton's Danny Ings are on 12.

Leeds have tumbled to as short as 4-9 to gain promotion to the Premier League as Sky Bet Championship winners this season after edging a pulsating 5-4 thriller against Birmingham City.

Wes Harding's own goal five minutes into added time proved to be the difference and Marcelo Bielsa's side are a best-priced 1-12 for promotion.

David Moyes is expected to be announced as the new West Ham manager on Monday. The Hammers are 1-3 to beat the drop.

West Ham are 17th in the Premier League and 5-2 shots for relegation after their 2-1 home defeat by Leicester on Saturday in Manuel Pellegrini's final match.

Moyes, who left West Ham in May 2018 after picking up nine wins in 31 games in charge, was installed as odds-on favourite soon after the vacancy arose.
