Liverpool dominated possession and created four big chances at Anfield but could not find a way through a resolute Fulham side, with the 0-0 draw a frustrating afternoon for the home crowd.

Rayan Cherki scored twice and Erling Haaland grabbed a brace as Manchester City dismantled Crystal Palace 4-1 at Selhurst Park, with the hosts offering precious little resistance after half-time.

Liverpool dominated possession and territory but could not hold on, as Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White converted a 70th-minute penalty to earn a point at Anfield. Connor Maguire calls it exactly what it was: unacceptable.

Erling Haaland scored twice at either end of the second half as Manchester City dominated Porto from start to finish, winning 2-0 in the UEFA Champions League. Porto never had a shot on target. That tells you everything.

Manchester City arrive at Anfield on Sunday in far better shape than their hosts, and the head-to-head record makes for grim reading if you are a Liverpool supporter. This is a test of attitude as much as ability.

Enzo Maresca dismissed City's two extra rest days over United ahead of Sunday's derby, but the real story is a widening form gap: City unbeaten in three, United on four points, and Luke Shaw facing a late fitness test.

Benjamin Sesko has scored in successive starts for the first time since his shin injury, handing Michael Carrick a genuine selection dilemma before the Manchester derby. But Paul Scholes' verdict on United's title chances offers a sobering counterweight.

A day after admitting he was 'sad' Liverpool had not offered him a new contract, Alexis Mac Allister scored a stunning winner against Atletico Madrid. Manager Andoni Iraola's guarded response shows the club wants form, not sentiment, to dictate any new deal.
