"It is a big gap (at the top)," Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk told Sky Sports. "I don't ignore the situation we are in," Leeds coach Marcelo Bielsa said. Everton are languishing in 15th, having picked up 19 points from 18 – their lowest tally at this stage since 2005-06. Promoted Brentford gave their survival hopes a boost as Danish defender Mads Roerslev's first goal for the club late on earned a comeback home win over Villa. The result lifted Brentford to 12th spot on 23 points from 19 games, a point and a place ahead of Villa.
