English Premiership: Liverpool 3-1 Cardiff | Fulham 2-4 Man City

Liverpool 3-1 Cardiff

Liverpool hit top spot in the Premier League with a thumping victory over strugglers Cardiff. Goals from Suarez, Sterling and another from the Uruguayan maestro put the match beyond the Welshmen.

A consolation effort by Jordon Mutch could change nothing as Liverpool strengthened their title challenge, putting pressure on Chelsea and Arsenal who meet tonight. See how Liverpool get on with Liverpool FC tickets, or Fulham tickets.

Fulham 2-4 Man City

A dismal run of form continued for Fulham as they were easily beaten by Manchester City via goals from Toure, Kompany, Jesus Navas and James Milner. Consolation goals from Fulham's Kieron Richardson and an own-goal by City captain Kompany could not change the result.

The result leaves City just one point behind league leaders Liverpool and have extended their run to 9 matches unbeaten in all competitions. Buy Man City and Manchester United tickets to track the league title race today.

Man Utd 3-1 West Ham

City's rivals United managed to overcome a weak West Ham side with goals from Danny Welbeck, the youngster Januszaj and Ashley Young, who had not scored for 19 months. Carlton Cole managed a reply for the Hammers who appear to be locked in a relegation dogfight.

This is a good result for manager David Moyes, who has seen his side's form improve as Christmas approached.
