    Jurgen Klopp insists the number of points Liverpool have is more important than returning to the top of the Premier League following a 4-1 win over Cardiff.

    The Reds remain unbeaten in the top-flight this season and went three points clear of title rivals Manchester City, who face fellow high-flyers Tottenham at Wembley on Monday.

    In yesterday’s other games, there were wins for Brighton, Waterford and Bournemouth.

    In today’s matches, Manchester United are home to Everton, Arsenal are away to Crystal Palace and Burnley take on Chelsea.

    CRICKET

    Shai Hope’s 95 and a brilliant all-round performance by Ashley Nurse helped West Indies stun India by 43 runs in the third one-day international on Saturday as the tourists levelled the series at 1-1.

    Elsewhere, Aaron Finch was named Australia’s new one-day captain ahead of their upcoming series against South Africa, with Test skipper Tim Paine and his deputy Mitch Marsh axed.

    FEATURE OF THE DAY
