Burnley vs Man City Premier League results: Cityzens' winning streak continues

Man City extended their lead at the top of the Premier League standings following a comfortable victory against Burnley. Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling struck one goal each to bag an all-important three points from the fixture. Interestingly, the Etihad-based outfit put up a dominant display, something which is least reflected in the scoreline. 

Man City maintained 75% ball possession throughout the course of the game. Besides, Guardiola's defensive set up could be comprehended from the fact that Burnley failed to bag a single shot in the game. With the victory, Man City now have nine wins in as many league games and maintain a three-point lead over Man United, having played a game lesser than their rivals.

Liverpool vs Brighton Premier League results: Reds stunned by Seagulls 

Liverpool were left embarrassed on Wednesday after their struggling performance against Brighton. Mohamed Salah could not convert a blistering chance as early as the third minute and the team went on to lose the grip further in the fixture. Steven Alzate netted in the 56th minute, which turned out to be the ultimate nail in the coffin. 

This was Liverpool's third consecutive goalless display at Anfield, an unwanted record which dates back to 1984. Jurgen Klopp's men have not scored over 384 minutes at home. The defending champions now sit fourth in the Premier League standings with 40 points to their credit and have a daunting task when they take on Man City on Sunday.
