A full programme of EPL action took place across the first two days of 2020, and while Liverpool continue to fly towards their debut Premier League title in the competition’s history, the race for fourth grows ever more complicated.

At the bottom of the Premier League, there were huge victories for Watford and Southampton, while Norwich and Bournemouth saw their survival hopes hit by devastating dropped points at home to Crystal Palace and away to West Ham respectively.

While Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur floundered on the road at Southampton, they were not the only Champions League challenger to hit a roadblock. While Manchester City beat Everton 2-1 and Leicester recorded a famous 3-0 triumph up at Newcastle United, other teams dreaming of 4th place and the richest prize club football has to offer had nightmares instead.
