West Ham United stuns Chelsea
Chelsea was supposed to have a smooth win over fourth-placed West Ham United.

As a result of this defeat, Chelsea has dropped to the third spot from the top.

Liverpool survives Wolverhampton Wanderers test
Liverpool travelled to take on eighth-placed Wolves on Saturday. While it was expected to be an easy win for The Reds, it became highly competitive. Nevertheless, Divock Origi's winner in the 90th minute was a heartbreak for the host, as Liverpool rose to the second spot.

Manchester City has it easy against Watford
City travelled to take on 17th-placed Watford on Sunday. As expected, it was a comfortable ride for the Cityzens, who won 3-1, with Raheem Sterling (4) and Bernardo Silva (31 & 63) doing the job. Consequently, City has risen to the top spot.

Manchester United struggle past Crystal Palace
United hosted 14th-placed Palace on Sunday. While it had to be an easy tie, it became highly competitive, only for Fred's right foot brilliance in the 77th minute, sealing the deal for the Red Devils to begin the Ralf Ragnick era. United rises to the sixth spot, while it still has a lot of work to be done.

Tottenham Hotspur routs Norwich City
Tottenham is beginning to improvise under Antonio Conte. It drubbed bottom-placed Norwich City 3-0 at home on Sunday, with Lucas Moura (10), Davinson Sánchez (67) and Heung-Min Son (77) being the scorers. Spurs happen to be on the rise, as it stays on fifth.

Aston Villa upsets Leicester City
As Leicester travelled to face off against tenth-placed Villa, it suffered tough luck again, with the latter emerging victorious 2-1 on Sunday. Ezri Konsa's (17 & 54) brace was enough to get the job done, as the Foxes stay in the 11th spot. With pressure mounting on Brendan Rodgers, he needs to find a way to rescue his side soon enough.

Everton upsets Arsenal
