Pundits Joe Hart and Wayne Rooney join host Mark Chapman to bring you the action and talking points from Sunday's Premier League fixtures.
And listen back to full match commentaries on BBC Sounds:
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It was a brilliant advert for the Premier League. First half was really good and we lost a bit of momentum in the second half. Anfield can feel like that.
"After that, we played more direct and after that we lost the ball and we were so passive. What a strike from Szoboszlai and after that, led by our captain Bernardo, we come back.
"The spirit has been there and in general the first half was really good and second half a bit of fatigue. Omar and Erling were passive and that's why we struggled."
On Bernardo Silva: "He is one of the best players I have every trained with. He is the perfect captain. It is a joy for me as a manager to have him. The team comes first. His contribution is massive and he is one of the legends of this club."
On the dramatic ending to the match: "Come on referee, give goal and go home!"

It means the in-form Hugo Ekitike leads the line supported by Florian Wirtz, who is beginning to find his feet in a Reds shirt.
Liverpool XI: Alisson, Szobozslai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Gakpo, Wirtz, Ekitike.

Centre-back Marc Guehi could have been lining up in a home shirt but instead comes to Anfield for City, while 2024 Ballon d'Or winner Rodri starts in midfield.
Gianluigi Donnarumma returns in goal and the Erling Haaland is looking to end his Anfield hoodoo by starting up front.
James Trafford, Tijjani Reijnders, Phil Foden, Nathan Ake and Nico Gonzalez all drop to the bench.

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests.
His guest for week 25 is Gladiators star Apollo, real name Alex Gray, who supports Newcastle.
Sutton says: It will be interesting to see if Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola starts with Omar Marmoush up front ahead of Erling Haaland after his two goals against Newcastle in midweek, but their attack looks strong anyway with Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo in the team.
The same applies to Liverpool, who have got a striker in form in Hugo Ekitike, while Florian Wirtz is playing with confidence too.
City will have moments where they will create chances, but Liverpool are going to have opportunities at the other end as well - there will be a few goals in this game.
Sutton's prediction: 2-2
Apollo's prediction: 2-3
AI's prediction: 2-2
Manchester City could face a make-or-break day in their attempts to reel in Arsenal at the summit of the Premier League table, as they take on Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday (16:30 GMT).
Liverpool produced arguably their standout performance of the season in their last outing, sweeping aside Newcastle United 4-1. Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz were both sensational throughout.
While City have won only one of their past six Premier League games, they too can take some confidence from hammering the Magpies. On Wednesday, they won 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium in the second leg of the League Cup semi-final. You sense a trip to Anfield will represent an altogether different test, though.
Wirtz can make Anfield record worse for City
Even though City have been the dominant force in English football over the last decade, Liverpool and Anfield have always represented a major test for them.
Liverpool have lost just one of their last 22 Premier League home games against City, with that defeat coming at an empty stadium during lockdown in 2021. When a boisterous Anfield crowd has been in place, City have not responded well.
The Reds appear well-placed to capitalise on City's weaknesses again this weekend, despite their own issues this season.
Pep Guardiola's side have struggled to defend against teams in transition. Liverpool excel in that area, scoring seven goals in the league this season from fast breaks – more than any other side - while a division-high 24.14% of their high turnovers end in a shot. City will therefore need to be wary of losing the ball in dangerous positions. In Ekitike and Wirtz, Liverpool have the players to punish any slack play.
While Ekitike has regularly shown flashes of brilliance since his summer arrival, Wirtz's season has been a slow burner after a £116m transfer. Since scoring his first goal for Liverpool against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 27 December, he has come to the boil beautifully.
City title hopes could crumble on Merseyside
Whether City can keep pace with league leaders Arsenal feels open to debate. But a win at Anfield would surely strike fear into the Gunners in the remaining weeks of the season.
City have simply been unable to maintain their performance levels across a full 90 minutes throughout the campaign.
The 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur last Sunday summed up their problems. After coasting into a two-goal lead in the first half, they were unable to adapt when Spurs applied pressure after the break.
Only struggling West Ham United have dropped more points from winning positions at the break than City's 11. If matches had ended at half-time this season, City would be 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
Erling Haaland's form also continues to be a concern for City, with just one goal from open play in his last 12 games in all competitions. He has failed to score in any of his three Premier League away matches at Liverpool, with Anfield and the Stadium of Light the only two grounds he has played at but not found the net.
Image source, Getty ImagesJames Milner has been described as the "consummate professional" on BBC Radio 5 Live's The Commentators' View podcast, as he closes in on Gareth Barry's record for most appearances in the Premier League.
If Milner features for Brighton against Crystal Palace on Sunday, he will reach 653, the same number Barry finished with when he retired in 2020.
Speaking on the podcast, BBC senior football reporter Ian Dennis said: "I did spend a lot of time with him when I covered the England under-21s. There was a tournament in Holland in 2007 and then I remember him in Sweden in 2009 and spoke a lot to him when he was an England international at various England camps. And the way he has conducted himself, he is the model pro, isn't he? He is the consummate professional."
BBC commentator Alistair Bruce-Ball added: "The other thing when we're talking about being the consummate professional, 40 years old, he gets on for a minute or two at the end of that game [last weekend] and annoyingly when he's on, Everton equalise.
"You've got to do all the running after the game because you've only played a couple of minutes of football, but when you're in your 24th season of Premier League football, and you're still prepared to do all of that, that says something in itself."
BBC football correspondent John Murray touched on how much Milner will have had to look after himself to sustain the longevity he has had, saying: "It can't be a coincidence that he's kept himself fit over the years, which I think attests to himself being a professional. He's clearly had to look after himself to be able to do that."
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Liverpool at Anfield (16:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Guardiola offered an update on Ruben Dias's fitness: "He's back, we'll see if he plays any minutes, but good news for us."
He added that John Stones returned to training on Thursday and is "step by step coming back" but Bernardo Silva is a doubt: "I don't know yet. Tomorrow in training."
Guardiola was asked whether Erling Haaland will automatically return to the starting line-up after Omar Marmoush scored twice when starting in his place in Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final win over Newcastle: "Erling is the best striker in the world. I don't know until tomorrow. But all I say is Erling is the best."
On reaching the Carabao Cup final: "As I am getting older, I am always getting the feeling that reaching a final is getting harder. More difficult and more difficult. I [have] never taken it for granted for many years as I know how difficult it is."
On whether the hierarchy at the club know what he is going to do at the end of this season: "No, because I have one more year on my contract. It is the same answer I answered two months ago."
Guardiola was asked if he is frustrated by the lack of an outcome in the Premier League's 115 charges hanging over the club: "It's out of my hands, we're waiting for the resolution."
Has he seen an improvement in his side this season?: "At the top, top, top level? Not yet. We are improving in moments, we just need some more consistency then we will be there. So 14 games left in the Premier League is an eternity. In my experience, it's a lot and anything can happen. Last season in the Premier League we were miles away from Liverpool, so let's see if we will be there."
On Sunday's opponents and their difficult season so far: "They remain an exceptional team. Top-class manager and an exceptional team, no doubt. The moments are the moments, the seasons are the seasons so always remains a good team. Always a tough opponent and a difficult place and stadium, especially with the quality of the players and the managers."

Image source, Getty ImagesTwenty-four years after making his debut, James Milner, 40, will equal the record for most Premier League appearances if he features for Brighton against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
A stellar career spanning more than two decades, six top-flight clubs, 652 Premier League appearances, 61 England caps, three Premier League titles, two FA Cups and one Champions League triumph has also delivered some unexpected moments.
Milner is set to go level with Gareth Barry, who played 653 times, at the top of the all-time Premier League appearance list some 8,491 days after making his debut for hometown club Leeds United soon after leaving school in 2002.
Milner was just 16 and earning £70 a week as a YTS player when he broke into the first team at Leeds, six months after taking his GCSE exams.
Milner signed for Newcastle in a deal worth £5m in 2005.
Alan Shearer, who played with Milner at Newcastle, describes him as a model professional and a "manager's dream".
"You would do well if you had him in your squad because you knew exactly what you were going to get," adds former England captain Shearer.
However, a year after signing, Milner was sent out on loan to Premier League rivals Aston Villa, with then Magpies boss Graeme Souness defending his decision at the time saying "you won't win the league with James Milners".
Milner had impressed on loan at Villa so much that in September 2006 they offered around £4m to sign him permanently but Newcastle pulled out of the deal at the 11th hour at the end of the transfer window and he would not get his permanent switch to Villa for another two years.
In 2020 he opted for the challenge of reviving Manchester City's fortunes and left five years later having helped them win two Premier League titles, one FA Cup, one League Cup and one Community Shield.
"We won the Premier League together in 2012 but there were times that season when things were not going well," recalls former City defender Micah Richards.
"He was one of the people who kept everyone going."
After 147 top-flight appearances for City, he was ready for his next challenge.
Next stop...Liverpool, where he won the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Uefa Super Cup, Fifa Club World Cup and the Community Shield.
After Liverpool came an offer from Brighton in 2023 to prolong his top-flight career, where he continues to compete in what is his 24th Premier League season.
Milner became the Premier League's second-oldest goalscorer earlier this season and celebrated by recreating Diogo Jota's celebration in tribute to his former Liverpool team-mate, who died in a car crash last July.
"I've not scored [in the Premier League] for six years and I was wearing his number. Obviously, I've got help from the great man," said an emotional Milner after the match.
Image source, GoogleMilner still remembers a conversation with veteran Leeds goalkeeper Nigel Martyn soon after breaking into the first team 24 years ago.
"He told me, 'Enjoy it while you can because it goes so fast'. I said, 'Leave it out, Nige, I'm 16!'
"And here we are in the blink of an eye - and I'm where he was."
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester City remain in contention to win four trophies this season after confirming their spot in the Carabao Cup final on Wednesday.
City are second in the Premier League, six points behind leaders Arsenal, and will face the Gunners at Wembley for the season's first major domestic prize on 22 March.
"We are still in the race for four titles and this is the first title we can get," said Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, who scored in City's 3-1 second-leg win against Newcastle on Wednesday.
"It would be nice to win it against Arsenal and, from then on, keep going in the league as well.
"We don't give up, we are on the hunt. We want to do our best in every competition and the Premier League especially."
City missed out on the big prizes last season and there has been a sizeable turnover of the squad since their most recent major trophy - the Premier League title in 2023-24.
Reijnders, who signed in June from AC Milan, added: "There is a lot of new blood so it would be amazing if we could win our first silverware for the guys who are new here. It gives us an extra boost."
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your thoughts after Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg between Manchester City and Newcastle United.
Here are some of your comments:
Manchester City fans
Brian: A far more intense and more ruthless first 45 from Man City but yet again City lose the fight in the second half. Newcastle came to win but were outclassed by a new style Man City in the first half. Man City now need to prove that they are a match winning team that has one big game in their locker and not one good first half. City can win this cup and Arsenal will fear an aggressive Man City.
Stephen: Convincing win but still giving up to many chances for my liking which a better team would punish us for.
Gene: True to form, excellent first half and not interested in the second half. Sloppy, half hearted without much concentration, bad passes, slow tracking back, if they really want to win trophies the desire to slam the door shut must become an every match occurrence.
Nick: It was a great first half performance. The new players have settled well and we are looking great for the future. The thing that takes longer to develop is the instinct of how to close the game down when it should be won, our old guard were masters at it but it takes longer to perfect than pure match tactics.
Newcastle fans
Michael: Tie was already as good as over but Groundhog Day all the same - easily exposed and poor finishing again - that can't be a good combination.
Barry: It was always going to be a big ask to go to the Etihad and get a result. The squad is stretched and the injuries continue to pile up. I trust Eddie and the team to turn things around, plus Elanga looks a bit more like the player we hoped he would be. Now is the time for unity and to really get behind the team. Howay the lads.
J: The worst performance I've witnessed. Newcastle showed no fight, no desire, no effort. Man City cut us apart time and again, the defending was shocking! Second half was a little better but we had lots of missed chances could have drawn that on aggregate if Newcastle taken their chances!
Nick: Obviously a bit demoralising, but we had to go for it. Our biggest problem is still our wastefulness in front of goal. We are creating a host of chances most weeks. I still think Eddie is doing a great job with a slim squad. The coach isn't to blame if your strikers aren't putting the chances away.
Image source, Getty ImagesGoalkeeper James Trafford impressed with some excellent saves as Manchester City beat Newcastle to progress to the Carabao Cup final.
Trafford started the campaign in goal after his summer move from Burnley but soon lost his place to fellow new arrival Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The 23-year-old has started all five games in City's run to Wembley, but will he start the final against Arsenal on 22 March?
"You would think so, but when you have Donnarumma and it's a final, I think he [manager Pep Guardiola] will have a look at the situation," former City midfielder Michael Brown told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
"I've seen this many times with Pep. [You'll look at] who starts the next game, a former club comes up on the way and you think 'he's got to play against them' and he doesn't do it.
"Of all managers, sentiment just goes. If he feels on the day that Donnarumma is going to win him that game, he will make the change.
"He probably won't, but rightly or wrongly, he would do it if he feels that will give him the edge.
"Let's see what his defensive line is like, what the situation is in the next few weeks in the Premier League and Champions League, and then he'll have a look at it. I don't think it's a certainty."

Image source, Getty ImagesIn a week where uncertainty was cast on Pep Guardiola's long-term future at Manchester City, the Spaniard saw his side take apart Newcastle to ensure another crack at glory.
"Wembley again, ole ole," was the chant from the home faithful at full-time as they prepare to visit the national stadium for the 22nd time since Guardiola's appointment as boss in 2016.
City's last trip to the capital for a final ended in a shock FA Cup defeat by Crystal Palace in May, but Guardiola will have the opportunity to make amends by adding a 19th trophy to his illustrious career.
His first piece of silverware came in this competition in 2017, with Mikel Arteta by his side, but Guardiola's compatriot will now be aiming to plot his downfall and put an end to Arsenal's tag of 'nearly men'.
Next month's final not only pits master against his apprentice, but also the top two sides in English football - the Gunners looking to deal a psychological blow as they hold a six-point lead at the summit of the Premier League.
Newcastle had a monumental task on their hands after Rayan Cherki's late goal at St James' Park put City 2-0 ahead, and Omar Marmoush's first-half double in the second leg killed any hope Eddie Howe and his supporters may have had.
The Egyptian could have had a hat-trick and though he was denied by Aaron Ramsdale, the result maintained City's imperious record against Newcastle, now winning 18 of their past 19 meetings dating back to 2014, including a remarkable 12 in a row.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to Sky Sports: "With Newcastle you can never control them completely. They had a one against one with James [Trafford] - James was unbelievable, especially in the first half.
"I know the rhythm the players have and we saw it. Newcastle are a Champions League team with top-class players. It was an incredibly intense game in all departments but the guys were really good.
"In March we go to Wembley again. We will travel to London again, they [Arsenal] will wait for us there. They never travel to the north [for finals] but I am really happy to be back. Five ties in 10 years is a big milestone."
On Omar Marmoush: "His movements are really top. The movements in behind and the incredible sense of goal. Really pleased for him. That type of game can always be complicated mentally but we started really well."
On James Trafford's development: "I said from the beginning he is a top keeper. He has an incredible future ahead of him. He is going to play in the first Carabao Cup final for him."
On some players having the chance to win a first trophy with the club: "It will be good. You have to live this experience. The first title we won here was in the Carabao Cup. When you win something, it helps to win more. It's a pleasure to play against Arsenal, the best team right now in Europe and maybe the world."
On Marc Guehi being ineligible to play: "Hopefully we can arrive with players fit and hopefully we can convince the Carabao Cup that Marc [Guehi] can play in the final because it's difficult to understand. The club made a big investment to take one player.
"He belongs to us and I don't understand why he cannot play the final.
"Hopefully we make a letter and hopefully the Carabao Cup, or whatever, can understand that when you buy a player for a lot of money and he is not able to play for a rule, I don't understand why.
"Hopefully they can change it."
