Kiwi Chris Wood scored in Burnley's 2-2 draw against Manchester United, while Manchester City's dominance of the Premier League title was still relaxed after a 2-1 defeat at Newcastle United.
City, which lost second place this season for the fourth time this season, should score seven more points by beating Leicester City on Thursday (NZT), while the Reds intend to become English champions for the first time times since 1990.
Sergio Aguero gave the advantage to City after just 24 seconds – the league's fastest goal this season – but the defending champion conceded twice in the second half against injured Newcastle, who started the match at a point in the relegation zone.
