Follow live updates as Burnley look to continue their late survival push in a Premier League relegation six-pointer against Watford. Since the shock sacking of Sean Dyche, Burnley have picked up seven points in three games under caretaker boss Mike Jackson to leapfrog Everton in the table. Victory at Watford this afternoon would see Burnley move five points clear of the drop ahead of Everton’s home fixture against Chelsea tomorrow.

But Watford have plenty to play for themselves, and will hope to end their miserable winless home run to salvage any late hope of avoiding an immediate relegation back to the Championship. Roy Hodgson’s side have lost 10 matches in a row at Vicarage Road - a run dating back to a 4-1 win over Manchester United in October - and another defeat would leave them seven points adrift with just four fixtures remaining.

A Burnley win would also relegate Norwich, if Dean Smith’s side lose to Aston Villa. The Canaries are 10 points adrift of Burnley and relegation would be confirmed if results elsewhere don’t go their way and Smith is defeated by his former side at Villa Park. Meanwhile, Southampton host Crystal Palace and Wolves take on Brighton in mid-table clashes.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

74 mins: Interesting moment, that. Raphinha goes across to take the corner and his own fans are chucking pieces of paper towards him. He turns to them and shrugs as if to say ‘why are you doing that?’

He has a point.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

72 mins: CHANCE! Oh what a block that is from Aymeric Laporte as Raphinha looks destined to score.

Leeds tear forward and Raphinha cuts in, beating Dias all ends up. He takes the shot on from inside the area but Laporte springs across to get a foot in the way and deflect the effort over the top.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

70 mins: Oh dear. Leeds break in numbers and look to be creating something dangerous until Raphinha’s inswinging cross from the far side is so overhit that it ends up in the crowd.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

68 mins: YELLOWS! Leeds manager Jesse Marsch has been booked by referee Paul Tierney. I think it was one of his coaching staff that was actually responsible for the poor behaviour on the touchline, but the rules dictate that the manager receives the caution.

Moments later Joao Cancelo gets a yellow of his own for a late tackle on Harrison.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

66 mins: Manchester City are moving back above Liverpool in the Premier League title race with four games remaining. They will regain their one-point lead over Jurgen Klopp’s men.

The fight has gone out of Leeds in the last 10 minutes. That Ake goal has killed them off.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

64 mins: Cancelo finds Sterling in space on the right. He sends an early cross into Foden but Koch just gets there ahead of him to head it behind for another Manchester City corner.

This one is dealt with by Dan James and as Leeds try to break the visitors’ sweeper Ederson is there to clear away the danger 40 yards from his own goal.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

63 mins: SUB! Joe Gelhardt is on for Junio Firpo as Leeds search for a way back into this game.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

62 mins: CHANCE! Nearly a third for Manchester City as they turn the screw.

Grealish cuts inside off the left touchline and lays it to Gundogan. The German opens his body up and curls one towards the top corner but it’s inches wide of the post.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

60 mins: SUB! One of Ake’s final contributions was that goal. He is replaced by Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Leeds 0-2 Man City

Here is how Manchester City went two goals in front nine minutes into the second half.
