We’ve got a Premier League title race, and the great Harry Maguire photoshop mystery - The Warm-Up
MONDAY’S BIG STORIES It’s back on! Ad/> Well, well, well. We have a title race. Who'd ever want one regular day of Barclays when it serves up weekends like this?

Naturally, Tottenham beating City could merely have poked the beast and spur City on to a 12-game winning run — which they are perfectly capable of — but maybe, just maybe, it won't be so simple, and this weekend has reminded us of how quickly things to change. There are still three months to go, cup exploits to factor in, injuries too, but it is all gearing up towards a potentially season-defining showdown between City and Liverpool at the Etihad on the second weekend of April.

There's just something about Spurs against City, and if it does turn out to be Liverpool's year, this weekend will be the moment the momentum shifted in the Reds’ favour, and Spurs' contributions — having also beaten City in August — a major reason why. Better call Fred – Maguire mystery If you need a goal, when you're drawing 2-2, who you gonna call? Wait, what? Fred! What an impact.
