These Premier League fixtures were the last before Christmas, and many people didn’t expect to see the table like this. Chelsea are in top spot by six points- when they only finished tenth last year. Leicester are in a relegation battle, and could be the first team to win the league then go down. Lastly, no one expected United to be top, thirteen points off top spot- after Mourinho spent big this summer. However, nothing is predictable in football.
Moving on to the results, Liverpool managed to beat Everton, with a stoppage time goal from Mane. Liverpool are now second in the table. United managed to keep paces up with Spurs as they beat a tough West Brom team. Sunderland got some good news for once, as they beat Watford 1-0. However, their rival relegation battlers Swansea and Hull both lost, and they must be contemplating how a season in the Championship will be like next season. Despite disappointment for those two clubs, the biggest disappointment must be for Arsenal fans, as they have had back to back defeats to City and Everton. Arsenal seem to always have a good start to season and then fall behind at about Christmas.
