The Premier League is back underway ahead of another action-packed weekend.
Friday night football saw Brentford welcome Brighton in a game with huge boardroom rivalry to kick off a busy 48 hours, with the Bees victorious 2-0 thanks to an Ivan Toney brace.
Crystal Palace’s trip to Leicester was the first game up on Saturday’s agenda, though proved hugely underwhelming in the lunchtime kick-off, ending in a 0-0 draw. The 3pm BST programme saw Fulham draw with Bournemouth and Wolves beat Nottingham Forest.
Tottenham’s routine win over Everton wrapped up the action ahead of Sunday’s heavyweight afternoon of top-flight matches.
Chelsea beat Aston Villa in slightly unconvincing fashion, early league leaders Arsenal squeezed past Leeds to hold top spot and Manchester United were held by Newcastle, along with West Ham’s 1-1 draw with Southampton.
All that came before arguably the biggest game English football has to offer in this day and age. An out-of-form Liverpool battled past Manchester City in a thrilling encounter, leaving Arsenal four points clear at the top.
