Liverpool and Manchester City have put some distance between themselves and the rest of the English Premier League, but both sides had to work hard for it. Liverpool were pushed, before being gifted a 1-0 win at Sheffield United on Saturday (Sunday NZ time) that maintained their perfect start to the season. Manchester City were given all they could handle by Everton before two late goals sealed a 3-1 win. Luka Milivojevic and Andros Townsend gave Crystal Palace a 2-0 win over Norwich and Aaron Creswell's late goal earned West Ham a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth. Fifth-placed Leicester can pull back within two points of City by beating Newcastle in Sunday's lone match (Monday NZ time).
