In this round, Manchester City won 7-0 in United. This puts strong pressure on Liverpool and Chelsea. Unexpectedly, Chelsea eventually dropped the chain and was forced to draw by Everton. In this way, the Blues are four points behind Manchester City and temporarily left behind. It's not easy to catch up with these 4 points. Because now Manchester City, the state is too good.
In another focus battle of this round, Arsenal beat West Ham 2-0. In this way, the Gunners overtook the Hammers and rose to fourth in the standings. Can they sit firmly in this position? If we look at the games, you will find that Manchester United has 1 round less, Tottenham Hotspur has 3 rounds less, and even Leicester City has played 1 round less.

It can be seen that the Premier League competition for the fourth place has entered a white-hot stage.
Speaking of the relegation war, the local tycoon Newcastle United lost again. Only 1 of the 17 matches have been won, and the relegation situation is precarious. If, this season, unable to complete relegation, eventually fell into the Championship. This is undoubtedly a great irony for the gold lords of Newcastle. Of course, Newcastle also has a chance to save itself: the winter window. However, a team like Newcastle, which has no giant background, is difficult to attract big players. They should turn their attention to the strength of the players.
