Arsenal are at the top of the English Premier League, holding off Manchester City in second place.
Victor Gyokores' penalty gave Arsenal a 1-0 win over Everton. Liverpool beat nine-man Tottenham in another crucial match.
Liverpool are struggling to find their rhythm even without Mohamed Salah. Wolves, who are bottom of the table, are in danger of setting an unwelcome record. Wolves are on a 10-game losing streak after losing to Brentford. Three points of interest in the Premier League this weekend:
Arsenal will be top of the table by Christmas after winning against Everton. This will be the third time Arsenal have been top in four years. Being top at Christmas is a sign of a team that will win the championship. But this does not apply to Arsenal.
Arsenal have been top at Christmas four times before but have failed to win the Premier League on any occasion. The last two examples of this were in 2022–023 and 2023–024. On both occasions, the team that won the league title was Manchester City. What is more, City has been the team that has won the championship in the last 5 Christmases when the team in front has not won the league.
It is against this backdrop that Arsenal aims to win the league for the first time in 22 years. Coach Mikel Arteta says, ‘The way the team is playing consistently well now, it gives me confidence. It is not easy for any team to play consistently well in the Premier League.’
Tottenham is not exactly playing badly. However, they are not able to produce results accordingly. This is putting coach Thomas Frank under a lot of pressure. Tottenham’s performance was not good even in the home defeat against Liverpool. Coach Frank has blamed some of the blame for this defeat on the referee’s wrong decision.
But critics believe that Tottenham is not performing as expected under his leadership. All of Tottenham's coaches have been in a similar situation in recent times. Tottenham has only collected 8 points from the last 9 home games, which shows the team's performance.
Wolves are almost certain to be relegated this time. Having said that, Wolves will have one goal, at least not to be the worst team in Premier League history. After losing to Brentford, Wolves, who are at the bottom, have only 2 points from 17 games. Wolves, one of the oldest clubs in English football history, is now in a really bad situation.
Although the club's history is not anything, it is 148 years old. This is the first time the team has lost 10 games in a row. The worst team in the Premier League so far is Derby. The team settled for 11 points in 2007–08, when they were relegated. Wolves will be hoping to do better than that.
