A new £800m setting for the ­Merseyside derby contained an old and familiar script. Everton came to christen Hill Dickinson Stadium’s derby debut in style but were devastated by the latest Liverpool show of all, as Virgil van Dijk’s 100th-minute header brought victory, relief for Arne Slot and Champions League qualification a little closer. It was some response to a trying week for the Premier League champions. The old guard led the way for Liverpool once more with Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah on the scoresheet, either side of a Beto equaliser, and the visitors refusing to settle for the point that both teams merited. Liverpool tried to exploit Everton’s vulnerability at set pieces all afternoon, mostly without success, but in the 10th of 11 minutes added on it finally paid off. Van Dijk held off James Tarkowski to convert Dominik Szoboszlai’s corner at close range, and Slot’s prospects of leading Liverpool into next season’s Champions League soared.

The finish was chaotic, brilliant, exhausting but, when the dust settles, this perhaps was the afternoon when Aston Villa made a decisive spurt for the finish line to claim Champions League qualification. As Tammy Abraham touched in the winner three minutes into injury-time, Unai Emery ran on to the pitch in celebration. Yet just a minute earlier Habib Diarra had been set clean through with a chance of his own to win it. Emi Martínez, though, stretched up to save his dink, and the road was cleared for the Villa winner. “We need strikers and goalkeepers,” said Emery. “It was the match – three points for them and no three points for us.”

Tammy Abraham scored a stoppage-time winner as Aston Villa took a huge step to securing Champions League football next season with a dramatic 4-3 victory over Sunderland at Villa Park.

Manchester City and Arsenal face off in a key Premier League clash, but Bukayo Saka is not part of the lineup. Much of what happens in the Premier League over the coming weeks will hinge on Sunday’s match between Manchester City and Arsenal. These are the two teams battling for the title, so the result of this showdown could prove decisive in that race. Despite the importance of the match, Bukayo Saka is not in the lineup due to fitness concerns. The English winger has been ruled out of the clash against Manchester City because of ongoing Achilles tendon issues that have bothered him for several weeks. In fact, Saka has missed Arsenal’s last four matches across all competitions due to this injury, as well as the FIFA March international break with the England national team. Without one of their key stars, the team have looked weakened in recent matches. The Gunners have dropped points in the Premier League, where they once held a clear lead in the standings, and now Manchester City could close the gap significantly with a win at Etihad Stadium. Heading into the match, Arsenal are top of the English league with 70 points, six more than the Citizens. However, Pep Guardiola’s side have a game in hand against Crystal Palace, meaning that gap could be reduced to just three points. That would allow Manchester City to potentially draw level with Arsenal if they secure a victory on Sunday. Pep Guardiola, Manager of Manchester City. Confirmed lineup for Manchester City Unlike Arsenal, Manchester City come into this match in good form, having moved past their UEFA Champions League elimination and now focused on competing in both the Premier League and FA Cup. Pep Guardiola has selected the following XI: Gianluigi Donnarumma; Nico O’Reilly, Marc Guehi, Abdukodir Khusanov, Matheus Nunes; Rodri, Bernardo Silva; Jeremy Doku, Rayan Cherki, Antoine Semenyo; Erling Haaland. Confirmed lineup for Arsenal Mikel Arteta knows that much of Arsenal’s success this Premier League season will depend on what happens at Etihad Stadium. As a result, he is fielding the strongest possible lineup, without immediate concern for the upcoming Champions League semifinals. Arsenal’s confirmed lineup is: David Raya; Piero Hincapie, Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba, Cristhian Mosquera; Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, Martin Odegaard, Eberechi Eze; Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke.

Liverpool’s late winner at Everton means we can pretty much call the Champions League race on a day when the relegation battle also grew even clearer.
