MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - The nightmare scenario for Evertonians of handing Liverpool the Premier League title with a defeat in Sunday's derby at Goodison Park has disappeared but Carlo Ancelotti's team will still be desperate to turn the table on their rivals.

Second-placed Manchester City's 3-0 win over Arsenal in Wednesday's return to action after the coronavirus stoppage means that Liverpool still need six points to secure the first league title in 30 years.
