The Premier League sixth match weekend has been completed, where 10 fixtures went underway and produced big outcomes.
The Premier League’s sixth match weekend took place, and 20 clubs attempted again to claim vital results.
Going into the latest batch of matches, Liverpool were five points clear on first after a 2-1 Merseyside derby win, with Manchester City and Arsenal’s 1-1 draw helping them with the advantage. Crystal Palace’s win over West ham would have made them aim to gain another positive result, while Chelsea would have been hoping to get things back on track after a 2-1 loss to Manchester United, and Bournemouth looked to remain claiming the points.
Among the games for the sixth match weekend, there was Manchester City’s task against Burnley, Chelsea taking on Brighton, and Aston Villa vs Fulham.
Even though Liverpool have a big point gap, gaining results is still something they’ll need to keep on doing, as it is still very early on in the season. For the other sides who hope to overcome Liverpool, they’ll need to remain in a scenario where it’s possible for themselves to do so.
