Despite the growing gap and City’s recent inconsistency, Pep Guardiola remains adamant that the race is still alive.

The drama began when Anthony Gordon was omitted from Newcastle’s starting line-up for their massive Champions League last-16 first leg against Barcelona last Tuesday.

Arsenal moved nine points clear at the Premier League summit following a late 2-0 win over Everton, but the talk of north London remains Max Dowman's sensational cameo.
