Manchester City moved to within a point of the top of Premier League table in matchday 25, after playing their game in hand.

The double gameweek has them on parity with Liverpool and Arsenal in terms of games played, for the first time since their Club World Cup campaign at the end of 2023.

Chelsea were first up for the defending champions in the Saturday evening kick-off and came away from the Etihad with a point, as City failed to win a match for the first time since December 16. They returned to winning ways on Tuesday night, with a narrow 1-0 win over Brentford.

That moved them a point behind Liverpool, who kicked the weekend off with a 4-1 win at Brentford on Saturday lunchtime, before Arsenal scored five past relegation-threatened Burnley at Turf Moor.

The 3pm kick-offs also had a big impact on the Premier League’s race for Europe with Newcastle drawing against Bournemouth at St. James’ Park. Aston Villa went fourth with a win at Fulham after Tottenham lost at home to Wolves. West Ham’s poor run continued with defeat at Nottingham Forest.

On Sunday, Sheffield United were hammered yet again, this time by, Brighton before Luton produced a brave performance but fell just short as Manchester United came away from Kenilworth Road with all three points.

Monday saw Everton draw with Crystal Palace in front of new manager Oliver Glasner.
