Norwich 17th, 32pts
Liverpool 1st, 77>80pts
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Sterling. Liverpool hold on at Carrow Road. Norwich got off to a slow start and found themselves two goals down inside the first 12 minutes. However, they battled back and eventually got back to 2-3. They were so close to an equaliser but Van Wolfswinkel saw his header superbly saved late on. Another defeat that leaves them looming just above the relegation zone and it really does not look good for them. I reckon they will go down bar a miracle.
Liverpool dug in and compounded their victory over Man City last weekend with a win against Norwich. Sterling scored an absolute screamer to give Liverpool an early lead before Suarez soon doubled the score. Sturridge managed to double the lead once again after Hooper got one back but it all got a little nervy when Snodgrass made it 3-2. However, they held on and got the job done as they continue to look favourites for the title.

Hull 13>14th, 36pts
Arsenal 4th, 67>70pts
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Ramsay. Podolski double at KC stadium. Hull were not at their best and were outplayed by a better team. It was not the result they would have liked in preparation for their FA Cup final meeting at the end of the season and they will want to vastly improve when they meet again. Livermore and Huddlestone both had shots parried away but they were just not at their best. With that defeat, Hull drop one place into 14th.
That was a really strong performance from Arsenal who proved to be too strong for Hull today. Both Ramsay and Ozil made their comebacks which is a massive boost for Arsenal and they made the difference for the Gunners on route to another three points. Podolski struck either side of half time which took the game away from Hull but it was a deserved victory which should give them a mental boost going into the FA Cup final. It also keeps them ahead of Everton in the race for fourth place.

Everton 5th, 66>69pts
Man United 7th, 57pts
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Coleman. Moyes suffers defeat on return to Goodison Park. Everton were too good for United and came out deserved winners. They had more pace, determination and desire which saw them ease to victory over United and Moyes. Baines opened the scoring from the spot whilst Mirallas scored from an acute angle to beat De Gea before half time. That was a big win which keeps them right behind Arsenal in the race for fourth and they will need to keep this momentum going if they are to take that last champions league spot.
United actually had a lot of possession but they failed to do anything meaningful in front of the Everton goal. There was no cutting edge, pace of creativity in what was a poor display. No idea what Jones was doing saving a shot which De Gea could easily have stopped which gifted Everton the lead from the spot. Plus, I felt De Gea should have kept out Mirallas' strike across goal from an acute goal. Thus, two goals which should have been avoided but it still didn't take away the fact that Everton were the better team. My faith in Moyes diminishes with each performance and that was just embarrassing to watch. A terrible season for United continues.
