Arsenal still first, still with a 3 points lead and a match in hand, however their recent form is cause for concern. City are second on 48 points, 2 more than Man Utd. Worth noting that ten Haag’s team played 23 games, City 22, while Arsenal are on 21. Newcastle are 4th, another 5 points behind, while Spurs are 5th, a further 2 back.
Very fierce race at the bottom of the table, Southampton are last with 15 points, 3 less than Bournemouth and Everton. Leeds are 17th on 19 points, one less than 16th placed West Ham. Who is going down is everyone’s guess at this point.
Team of the Week
As expected, two players from surprise winners Leicester(Iheanacho and Maddison), two from Brighton(Estupinan and March), two from Fulham(Andreas Pereira and Ream) and two from Man Utd(Shaw and De Gea). Alexander Arnold and Ivan Toney complete the lineup.
