Liverpool surged ahead in the title race with a commanding 4-2 victory over Newcastle, posting an astounding 34 shots, breaking a Premier League record held since 2010. Liverpool sit at the top of the table, three points of the rest.
Much like Liverpool, Tottenham too secured a 3-1 win over Bournemouth, overshadowed by concerns as Pape Sarr suffered an injury ahead of Senegal’s AFCON campaign. Meanwhile, Arsenal missed a chance to claim the top spot, facing a disappointing defeat to Fulham, exposing inconsistencies in their title aspirations.
Manchester City closed their account in 2023 impressing with a dominant 2-0 win over Sheffield United, boasting an 82% possession and goals from Rodri and Julian Alvarez, elevating them to third place. Manchester United on the other hand continued to struggle, as they faced a 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest, dampening the spirit following a previous Boxing Day comeback against Aston Villa.
Chelsea ended a challenging year positively, clinching a crucial victory against Luton, buoyed by a standout performance from Cole Palmer amid their trials. Palmer scored a brace to help Chelsea fight back from a two-goal deficit and ended Chelsea’s 2023 campaign on a high note.
