Defending champion Manchester City moved 12 points ahead of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League thanks to a comfortable 2-0 win at home to Brentford. Manchester City have 60 points from 24 games while Liverpool, with two games in hand, are second on 48.

Pep Guardiola's side was always in control on Wednesday night, although it wasn't until the 40th minute that Riyad Mahrez put them ahead from the penalty spot after Raheem Sterling had been fouled.
