Manchester City, under Pep Guardiola, continued their inconsistent form with a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace. Despite Erling Haaland's equalizing header, which brought him level with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah in the Golden Boot race, City failed to capitalize on their chances. The match saw Rico Lewis score a stunning goal to level the game, but he was later sent off six minutes from the end. This result marks the eighth time in nine games that Manchester City have failed to secure a win, keeping them eight points behind leaders Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Chelsea is on a roll, having recently hammered Aston Villa 3-0 and Southampton 5-1. They are set to face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, aiming to extend their three-match win streak and six-match unbeaten run. Cole Palmer has been instrumental in Chelsea's success, scoring in both recent matches and contributing significantly to the team's performance.
Brentford also made headlines with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Newcastle, thanks in part to Bryan Mbeumo's sensational individual effort and Kevin Schade's stoppage-time goal. This win propelled Brentford to seventh in the league table.
Aston Villa moved up to fifth with a 1-0 win over bottom-of-the-table Southampton, courtesy of Jhon Duran's goal in his first Premier League start of the season.
The Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool was postponed due to high winds from Storm Darragh, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the season.
