Home wins for Manu, just, and Arsenal. Away wins for Liverpool and Chelsea.
No change at the top then.

In Scotland, Rangers win at home whilst Celtic lose away to Hibernian.
Gap at the top is down to 4pts.

Liverpool doing their best to throw away the title again this season.

The top 4 teams, at the beginning of the matches anyway, all drew their games. Liverpool, as ScousePatriot has said, are doing their best not to win the title.
Arsenal now drop out of the top 4 and are replaced by Martin O'Neill's Aston Villa. It will be interesting to see how ambitious their owner, and Cleveland Brown's owner, Randy Learner is when the transfer market opens in January.
I think they can maintain that 4th place with a couple of top signings. We'll see.

In Scotland, the top 2 also both drew their matches.

Liverpool draw away to Arsenal. Chelsea draw away to Everton. Villa beat Fulham away. Manu did not play. Liverpool still top, closely followed by Chelsea.

Celtic and Rangers both win in Scotland. Celtic still top by 4pts. They play one another this week at the home of Rangers. I'll take a draw and keep the 4pt lead.

Scouse Patriot

This season has become really weird, nobody wants to take advantage. If we'd have won the games we drew and had Chelsea kept their form up, Liverpool would be clear and looking very good.

We never do anything the easy way, never.

THE LIST: 10-1 of the most atmospheric stadiums in football | Mail Online

Personally speaking, having experienced all of the top 3 stadiums, Parkhead first, Anfield second and the CampNou a poor third. The SanSiro in Milan is a far better stadium than the CampNou. Both are superior to the cemetary like stadium which is Old Trafford.

Scouse Patriot

Pompey certainly get ahead of atleast 8 teams on that list, Portsmouth support is fantastic.

Who would have thought after last season's relegation escape that Fulham would be playing for a place in Europe? Hats off to Hogdson.
