Chelsea continued their fantastic run of form with a 10th successive Premier League win yesterday. The Blues are now six points clear at the top of the table after a 1-0 win over Sunderland last night.

Cesc Fabregas scored the only goal of the game and Antonio Conte’s side managed to hold on to their lead thanks to some outstanding saves from Thibaut Courtois.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have bounced back from their recent dip in form with a convincing 3-0 win over Middlesbrough. The Reds dropped five points against Bournemouth and West Ham in their last two outings.

Goals from Adam Lallana and Divock Origi secured the three points for Jurgen Klopp’s side. The German’s decision to drop under fire keeper Loris Karius proved to be a right one and Simon Mignolet delivered an assuring performance on his return to the first team.

This was a disappointing week for Arsene Wenger as Arsenal remain the only side to drop points in the top six. Chelsea, Liverpool, United, City and Spurs have all won their matches this week and the Gunners were beaten 2-1 by Everton.

A late winner from the former Swansea captain Ashley Williams handed Ronald Koeman’s men a much-needed win in front of their own fans.

West Ham continued their impressive run of form with a 1-0 win over Burnley and Southampton were held to a 0-0 draw against Stoke.
