    Liverpool shared the points with Manchester City yesterday

    Liverpool and Manchester City had to share the points in the top of the table clash as Riyad Mahrez blasted City's chance to take all points over the post from the penalty spot.
    It was not a match of too many chances with both teams being on their toes in order not to give in to little mistakes.

    Pep Guardiola has only won one of his last eight games against Jurgen Klopp, he has drawn three and lost four.

    Liverpool have won six and drawn eight of their last 14 home games against the Premier League top six.
    This is the second time in history that as many as three club's would still be on unbeaten run after eight games, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City. The last time this happened was in 2011/12 for Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle.

    Chelsea were absolutely in wonderful form as they blasted three goals without reply past Southampton. The goalscorers were Eden Hazard, Ross Barkley and Alvaro Morata. The match ended in a 3-0 victory for Chelsea.
    Since losing 3-1 under manager Jose Mourinho in October 2015, Chelsea have won each of their last six Premier League matches against Southampton.
    Eden Hazard has scored six goals and assisted five in his 15 appearances in all competitions against Southampton.
    This is the first time since October 2016 that Hazard would score and assist in the same Premier League game.
    Southampton have only had seven points in their last 26 Premier League games against the top six, that's seven draws in the last three seasons.

    Arsenal ran riot at the Craven Cottage blowing away Fulham in a 5-1 victory. Both Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got a brace and Aaron Ramsey scored a classic goal to take Arsenal to 18 points and 4th on the table. That's six Premier League wins in a row for the Gunners after losing the first two games of the season.
    This is the first time since April 2015 that Arsenal would win nine consecutive matches in all competitions.
