Premier League talking points

Talking points from the Premier League weekend:

LIVERPOOL CUP WIN CAN FUEL MULTIPLE TROPHY CHASE

Victory over Chelsea after an incredible penalty shoot-out in the League Cup final on Sunday could be the catalyst to a glorious run-in for Juergen Klopp's Liverpool.

The competition might not have been Klopp's top priority, but the extra fuel a dramatic Wembley win could give his players could power them to even greater heights.

Klopp says Anfield will be "rocking" this week when they host Norwich City in the FA Cup, then the pursuit of Manchester City in the league continues, as well as the job of finishing off Inter Milan in the Champions League last-16.

Liverpool are on a 10-match winning run in all competitions and a red tide of optimism is sweeping through the club.

MAN CITY CAN GRIND IT OUT

While Manchester City can sweep opposition aside with breathtaking attacking football, Saturday's win over Everton showed another strength of Pep Guardiola's side.

By their own standards they were not at their fluent best, the score still goalless after 82 minutes and the title race set to slip out of their control.

But they kept probing Everton's defences and Phil Foden eventually poked home a winner to keep City six points ahead of Liverpool, who have a game in hand.

It was not a match to live long in the memory, but it could prove to be a crucial step towards a fourth title in five years.

MORE TO KANE'S GAME THAN JUST GOALS

Harry Kane is seen by many as an out and out striker, given his impressive Premier League scoring record, but there is so much more to his game than just goals.

The England captain is more than adept at playing the creator too, with his pass for Son Heung-min's goal in Tottenham Hotspur's rampant 4-0 win at Leeds United
