In this round of games, Aston Villa, the fourth in the league, drew 2-2 with Chelsea in the strong dialogue, and the fifth in the league Tottenham ushered in the best opportunity to chase points.
Liverpool has dropped the chain again, basically completely out of the Premier League title race, and this season's Premier League title race has become more and more delicate: Arsenal and Manchester City are playing with each other, if Manchester City can win all the last few rounds, Manchester City will win the Premier League title 100%;
