The Premier League’s match weekend twenty is here, and big fixtures will have vital results.
The Premier League has its twentieth match weekend, where all sides will be attempting to claim crucial results.
During the midweek matches, Sunderland and Manchester City had a 0-0 draw, Chelsea drew 2-2 with Bournemouth, and Arsenal defeated Aston Villa 4-1.
These results for Aston Villa and Manchester City were mostly in Arsenal’s favour, who are not only just leaders of the league, but now have an increased gap.
Elsewhere, Liverpool and Chelsea remain within the top five, while Sunderland, Manchester United, and Brentford are some of the sides competing to take over.
As the PL goes on, these fixtures become even more vital. For the title race, Arsenal are leading the way, but even though Aston Villa and Manchester City’s chances have decreased, there is still a long way to go. If they are to be in with an opportunity, they’ll have to go ahead and get wins and not just rely on whether Arsenal are triumphant in their games or not.
The next matches will be a midweek serving, coming on the sixth, seventh, and eighth. There will be Manchester City vs Brighton, Fulham vs Chelsea, and Arsenal vs Liverpool.
Let’s take a look at how the table shapes and the fixtures in this match weekend.
