In the last round of the league, Everton won 2-0 against Nottingham Forest, five points clear of the relegation zone and 16th. Liverpool, on the other hand, won 3-1 away at Fulham to halt the decline. In the latest standings, Arsenal are three points ahead of Liverpool at the top of the table with one more game.
