Rodri escaped that or was it not a 2nd yellow?

Manchester City are now 5 points behind Arsenal, making the Gunners work hard to win the Premier League trophy. City will now face Southampton next week before playing the UCL quarterfinal against Bayern Munich.
On the other hand, the road forward looks tough for Liverpool. They are currently 6th and 7 points behind the 4th-placed Tottenham Hotspurs. Liverpool’s next game is against Chelsea midweek, and then they will be up against table toppers Arsenal. They will need those 6 points in order to keep their hopes alive for top four.
Liverpool are out of every competition at this point of the season and their only hope is top 4.
