There was a point when the gap was 10 points and City had a game in hand, but I was adamant Arsenal were going to win the league. When they have been top, they deserve to be top.

If City end up top by the end of today, it feels like City very much deserve to be there. Arsenal allowing City to get back into it, not the game at the weekend, but the loss at home to Bournemouth, the dropped points at Wolves because that is not the team I had them down for at the turn of the year.

Manchester City are 45 minutes from ending the night top of the league, while Burnley are 45 minutes from being relegated.

Chances for both sides but it's goalless at the break.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin fizzes in a dangerous ball across the face of the Bournemouth goal but Adrien Truffert hurls himself towards the ball and does just enough to hold Brenden Aaronson off.

Manchester City have not been ruthless in this first half. They should have killed the game off.

Scott Parker will be thinking that he's had two or three really good chances here, and if he could have had those chances at the start of the match, he'd have snapped your hand off.

Burnley so far...

• Four attempts
• One on target
• 10 touches in the Man City box
• Zero cutting edge

What a save that is from Karl Darlow to deny Marcus Tavernier's sliding effort at the back post. He's falling back into his own goal but somehow manages to stick a leg out to stop the Bournemouth midfielder from poking in.

Alex Jimenez watches Gabriel Gudmundsson waltz past him and start charging towards the box before clattering into the full-back on the edge of the box.

He gets a yellow card for his efforts and then Ao Tanaka skies the free-kick over the crossbar.

'Come on Burnley, Come on Burnley' sing the home fans.

But there are some glum looking faces in the home sections of Turf Moor.

Burnley's time in the Premier League is coming to an end as it stands.

The aggregate score between these two clubs in the last 14 meetings and 40 minutes is...Burnley 3-52 Manchester City.

Brendon Aaronson skips past a couple of Leeds defenders on the left wing and drives into the box, but he fires the ball straight at Djordje Petrovic.

That was the first time Leeds have threatened in front of goal this evening. Daniel Farke looks fed up on the touchline.

A lovely move straight off the Manchester City training ground ends with Rayan AIt-Nouri skying it over the Burnley bar after a lovely pass from Bernardo Silva. But that was all about Jeremy Doku's vision.

David Brooks has been hobbling about for the last couple of minutes after he was caught in a studs-up challenge by Ao Tanaka.

He eventually strides over to Michael Salisbury and shows the referee the marks left by the Japanese midfielder.

Martin Dubravka has just received treatment after injuring his knee while keeping out Nico O'Reilly's attempt a little earlier.

Dubravka's knee collided with the post while making the save but it looks like he is fine to carry on.

Karl Darlow makes the first save of the night. If you can call it that.

Adrien Truffert's cross was cut out but the ball trickles back to the Frenchman and he takes a pop from the edge of the box, but it lacks both the power and direction to cause any sort of trouble for Darlow.
