Premier League leaders Liverpool beat bottom side Southampton 3-2 on Sunday to build a sizeable eight-point lead over reigning champions Manchester City after Mohamed Salah led a second-half comeback for the visitors.

Pep Guardiola will be hoping his Man City side can get back to winning ways on Saturday as they host top-four chasing Tottenham. A surprising run of four consecutive defeats for City -- the club's worst in 18 years -- allowed title rivals Liverpool to open up a five-point gap at the top of the English Premier League heading into the recent international break.

Manchester City's misery continued with a shock 4-0 Premier League rout by Tottenham Hotspur at Etihad Stadium on Saturday, marking the first time in Pep Guardiola's dazzling managerial career that he has lost five games in a row across all competitions.
