Heavy defeats for Watford and Norwich edged Leeds United one step closer to Premier League survival. If supporters did not think both clubs were destined for relegation before kick-off, they certainly did afterwards following two dismal performances.
Manchester City hammered five past Watford - with Gabriel Jesus bagging four - to cement their position at the top of the league. High-flying Newcastle coasted to a 3-0 victory at Carrow Road and the Canaries remain eight points adrift.
Leeds fans will not be too concerned about the results as the focus is on tomorrow’s crucial double-header. Burnley host Wolves looking to capitalise on a huge victory against Southampton in midweek while Everton make the daunting trip to Liverpool.

The Toffees claimed an unlikely win at Anfield last season but even the most optimistic Everton fan will be fearing the worst against Jurgen Klopp’s title-chasers. However, if Burnley grind out another victory they will move two points behind Leeds - who travel to Crystal Palace on Monday.
Whites fans on social media agreed that Norwich and Watford are likely already relegated.
@ProudPeacock123: And then there were 3? Watford & Norwich are down now so between Burnley, Everton & us who joins them but I think we are now currently the least likely #lufc
@LUFC76ALAW: Well that is Norwich and Watford down if they weren’t already #lufc #mot
@Columbanus13: Saturday job done, just need Burnley and Everton to lose tomorrow now
