EPL Week 33 Results, Talking points and updated Table Standings

EPL Week 33 Results, Talking points and updated Table Standings



Chelsea maintain lead at the top of English Premier League despite defeat by Manchester United in Sunday's epic clash.

Manchester United dented Chelsea's Premier League title hopes by scoring a hugely significant 2-0 win at Old Trafford on Sunday. United's victory cut Chelsea's lead at the top to just four points over Tottenham Hotspur.

Goals from Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera also boosted United's chances of making the top four and playing in next season's UEFA Champions League. The Red Devils are now up to fifth, four points behind neighbours Manchester City with a game in hand.

City will be looking over their shoulders, but Liverpool created some space after moving into third by beating West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns thanks to Roberto Firmino. The Anfield club is now six points clear of bitter rivals United but have played two games more.

Chelsea have been a pain in the neck all season long, seemingly winning every week while those around them have proved inconsistent.

It has led to a relatively dull title race for half of the campaign, but suddenly, things could get a little interesting.

You can’t help but feel the race to be in next season’s Champions League will go right down to the wire, with Liverpool, Man City, Man United and Arsenal battling to join Chelsea and Tottenham in the competition.

That is, of course, assuming the current top two sides don’t capitulate between now and next month.

Arsenal fans will have been left miserable watching the weekend games, with all three of their rivals’ victories cranking up the pressure ahead of their trip to Middlesbrough on Monday.

Liverpool’s win will have been bad enough, but both City and United also prevailing was rubbing salt in the wounds.

Pep Guardiola’s side cruised to a 3-0 triumph away to a Southampton side with little to play for, while United picked up a 2-0 win at home to leaders Chelsea.

As things stand, Liverpool and City still look strong favourites to finish in the top-four, but Arsenal still can’t be written off and we all know that Jose Mourinho will not go away without a fight.

Chelsea are still unquestionably strong favourites to lift the trophy, but with a few injuries coming their way and performances not at their best, could they suffer a late collapse?

As painful as it would be to see Spurs win the Premier League title before Liverpool, seeing Chelsea blow it now would be something to behold.
