The Premier League is heating up, and Round 6 gave us plenty of drama! Here’s a quick rundown of the weekend’s key action and what to expect going forward.
Liverpool on Top!
Current position: 1st
Match result: Wol 1- 2 Liverpool
The Reds are flying high, sitting at the top after a commanding performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Ibrahima Konate’s opener (his first in the EPL and second in as many as one week after scoring at the San Siro in the first round of the newly revamped UCL) was canceled by a Wolves equalizer. Mohamed Salah’s penalty after less than 3 minutes of going level at the Molineux was enough to secure victory for Liverpool. Arne Slot’s tactics are proving effective, with Liverpool’s attacking flair in full swing. Slot’s side looks like real contenders—can they maintain the momentum?
Manchester City’s Slip-up
Current position: 2nd
Match result: Newcastle 1-1 City
Despite missing Rodri due to an injury (out long term) and Kevin De Bruyne sidelined for the weekend, City held on for a 1-1 draw against Newcastle United. Pep Guardiola’s men are still very much in the title race, but the absence of Rodri is concerning. Can they cope without their key midfielder for the coming weeks?
Arsenal’s Big Win at Home
Current position: 3rd
Match result: Arsenal 4-2 Leicester City
The Gunners are making serious noise again this season. A 4-2 victory over newly-promoted Leicester at the Emirates shows they mean business. Despite conceding 2 after going up 2nil, Bukayo Saka and Leasandro Trossard starred again, as it looks like Arsenal is ready to challenge for the title. Keep an eye on Mikel Arteta’s men!
Cole Palmer Makes History for Chelsea!
Current position: 5th
Match result: Chelsea 4-2 Brighton
Chelsea’s rise continues with an unbeaten run in September, beating Brighton 4-2 at home. The star of the show? Cole Palmer! He scored 4 first-half goals, becoming the first player in EPL history to do so. The Blues are finding their rhythm, and Palmer might just be the best player in the league this season.
Manchester United’s Misery
Current position: 9th
Match result: Manchester United 0-3 Tottenham Hotspur
The Red Devils are struggling, and a 3-0 home loss to Tottenham Hotspur has fans worried. Bruno Fernandes’ sending off for a rash challenge made matters worse. United are looking shaky—can Erik ten Hag turn things around, or will this be another season of disappointment for United?
What to Expect Next?
Liverpool: Can they keep the top spot with their red-hot form?
City: Will the absence of Rodri and De Bruyne impact their title defense?
Arsenal: Are they the biggest threat to City’s dominance this season?
Chelsea: With Cole Palmer making history, will the Blues keep rising?
Manchester United: They need a turnaround, fast!
The season is just getting started, but these early results are setting the tone for a thrilling Premier League campaign.
Stay tuned, as the EPL never disappoints!
