The Premier League title race is “done” according to Alan Shearer, who believes Liverpool cannot be caught with five months of the season remaining. The Reds’ hold on this season’s trophy was strengthened on Saturday night without them even playing in the competition. While Liverpool became Club World Cup champions for the first time in their history by defeating Flamengo in extra-time in Qatar, title rivals Manchester City and Leicester pitted wits at the Etihad. The home side were vying to close the gap on Liverpool to 11 points whereas the second-placed Foxes had the opportunity to go within seven points of the table-toppers.
