The league leaders currently hold a six-point advantage over second-placed Manchester City. However, Pep Guardiola's side will play their match against Everton on Monday and also have a game in hand from the 31st round against Crystal Palace.
Brentford secured a dominant 3-0 victory over West Ham. Brazilian striker Igor Thiago netted his 22nd league goal of the season, with Mikkel Damsgaard also finding the back of the net. Earlier, West Ham defender Konstantinos Mavropanos scored an own goal. The home side capitalized on Brighton's slip-up, leapfrogging them into 6th place in the incomplete table. West Ham now sit just two points above the relegation zone.
A single point from a 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton was enough for newcomers Sunderland to secure their top-flight status. The visitors took the lead through Nordi Mukiele. However, his defensive partner Dan Ballard was shown a red card seven minutes later, and Santiago Bueno equalized for the home side. Sunderland now has 47 points, while eighteenth-placed Tottenham trails by 13 points with only four matches remaining. Wolves, along with Burnley, are already confirmed for relegation.
The "Seagulls" conceded twice in the first half against Newcastle United, with William Osula and Dan Burn scoring. Brighton pulled one back through Jack Hinshelwood but ultimately saw their five-game unbeaten streak come to an end. Harvey Barnes added a third goal for Newcastle in the dying moments, securing a 3-1 victory. Newcastle, conversely, picked up points after four consecutive defeats.
