Premier League Week 11 Results

Liverpool was exposed once again in a 3-0 loss at Manchester City. Wins over Aston Villa and Real Madrid inside of a week had raised hopes that Liverpool was successfully back from a stretch which saw the club lose six of seven matches. Not so much. A frail defense and a disjointed attack were no match for a dominant Manchester City side. Erling Haaland scored as per usual, the Norwegian notching his 14th goal of the season. The Citizens, however, were able to exploit Liverpool in other ways as well. Midfielder Nico Gonzalez scored in first half stoppage time off a Liverpool deflection. Jeremy Doku scored the final Manchester City goal after terrorizing Liverpool defender Conor Bradley all match long.

The victory moved Manchester City within four points of Arsenal after the Gunners dropped points in a 2-2 draw at Sunderland. Brian Brobbey scored in the 94th minute to steal a point for the surprising Black Cats who remained unbeaten after six league matches at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland shows remarkable fight for a newly promoted side as the Black Cats have now scored more goals in added time than any other Premier League team. Arsenal, meanwhile, saw their ten-match winning run across all competitions come to an end.

Sunderland is the only club to have defeated Chelsea in the Blues’ last five league matches after Chelsea notched its fourth win over its last five league outings in an easy 3-0 win over Wolverhampton. Former Manchester United player Alejandro Garnacho assisted two of the Chelsea goals in his best outing to date for the Blues as they eased into third place in the table. Wolverhampton was its usual terrible self, failing once again to secure a victory in its 11th try this season. Interim assistants managed Wolves on Saturday in the  vacuum created by the firing of Vitor Pereira and as a deal for expected new manager Rob Edwards is finalized. Edwards will inherit a dire situation. No club in Premier League history has avoided relegation after capturing only two points from its first 11 league matches as Wolves has done this season.

Spurs is officially sputtering after dropping points for the third time in four matches. Manchester United’s Matthijs de Ligt headed in the equalizer at the 96-minute mark after Spurs thought it had the win after Richarlison scored earlier in stoppage time. It is not a good look for Spurs Manager Thomas Frank to have won only one out of his six Premier League matches at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season, only Wolverhampton having suffered more home futility.

Aston Villa, on the other hand, has been quite comfortable on its home turf. The Villans won a fourth consecutive Premier League match at Villa Park with a 4-0 victory over suddenly flailing Bournemouth. The Cherries have lost their last two matches by an aggregate 7-1 margin to fall into a quagmire of five clubs, all level on 18 points, in the fifth through ninth places in the table. Among those five clubs is Aston Villa, which has won four of its last five matches, including the pitching of clean sheets in its last three league wins. Oddly, the only loss for Aston Villa over that stretch proved to be the only league win for Liverpool over the Reds’ last five matches.

Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium, meanwhile, has suddenly become one of the league’s more formidable home fortresses after Igor Thiago scored his seventh and eighth goals of the season to key a 3-1 win for the Bees over visiting Newcastle. Manchester City is the only club to have won at Brentford this season as Manager Keith Andrews has eased the transition from the popular Thomas Frank for the Bees. Newcastle has yet to win on the road this season, a circumstance it shares only with Fulham, Nottingham Forest and Wolves. The Cottagers were 2-0 losers to Everton on Saturday and are now just a point above the relegation drop line.

Things down toward the bottom of the table, excluding the continuing misadventures of woeful Wolves, have gotten more interesting after relegation zone occupants West Ham and Nottingham Forest both won on the weekend. Former Nottingham Forest Manager Nuno Espirito Santo guided West Ham to a second straight league win when the Hammers were 3-2 winners over another relegation threatened side in Burnley. The Hammers drew level on points with the Clarets who are safe for now only by virtue of a better goal differential than West Ham.

Sean Dyche, once a Burnley manager and now Santo’s successor at Nottingham Forest, got his first Premier League win at his new job when the Tricky Trees defeated Leeds 3-1. Nineteenth place Forest is now within three points of 14th place Newcastle in a suddenly compressed bottom end of the table. Drudgery prevailed in the “M23 derby” mid-table clash between Crystal Palace and Brighton. Fatigue was clearly a factor for Crystal Palace, which won its Europa Conference League match over AZ Alkmaar on Thursday and was playing without injured center back Marc Guehi. The shared points leave Brighton a single point behind 10th place Crystal Palace in the table.

Premier League Week 11 Preview

Liverpool snapped a losing run with its Anfield victory over Aston Villa last weekend. The Reds could be in danger of starting a new run, however, when they visit the Etihad to meet familiar rival Manchester City. In the past eight years only Manchester City and Liverpool have won Premier League titles, Manchester City winning six and Liverpool winning two. The current version of Manchester City is somewhat less daunting overall than some of those league champions. Erling Haaland, however, is on a torrid streak of goal scoring, already finding the net 13 times this season and Gianluigi Donnarumma was the Champions League winning goalkeeper for PSG last season. Phil Foden has also shown signs of returning to his former stellar form in recent weeks. All of which could make it premature to claim that Liverpool is back on a winning track after its defeat of a flat Aston Villa side in front of the Anfield supporters last week. City is one point ahead of Liverpool in the standings with the Citizens still six points behind Arsenal after winning four of five matches, the lone blemish coming at Aston Villa two weeks ago.

Aston Villa is back home this week to take on Bournemouth after the Cherries were summarily beaten by Manchester City last week. Despite that defeat, Bournemouth is level on points  with third place Liverpool in the Premier League table.

There are four clubs just a point behind Liverpool and Bournemouth. Two of those will face off on Saturday when Manchester United visits Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Its north London place home not been overly kind to Spurs this season as Manager Thomas Frank’s side have won but one of five home matches so far this season. Conversely, Spurs are the only Premier League club not to have lost an away match. Manchester United have already lost four of their five away matches to date but have been playing better overall in recent weeks and stole a late point at Nottingham Forest last Saturday.

Forest will be home again this weekend in a key relegation rumble with Leeds. The Whites are still four points clear of the drop but have appeared increasingly vulnerable in losing three of their last four matches, culminating in a meek 3-0 submission to Brighton last Saturday. Sean Dyche, meanwhile, is in his element battling to keep Nottingham Forest up, reminiscent of the challenges he faced in managerial stints at Burnley and Everton.

Brighton recommences its unusual “M23 derby rivalry” with Crystal Palace this weekend. Unlike other derbies, there is no geographic proximity between the clubs, just a deep-felt hostility based on battles fought in the lower divisions and animosity between long ago opposing managers. Supporters take it very seriously and emotions will be high at the Eagles’ Selhurst Park. The ninth place Eagles  are currently a point above their rival in the table.

The bottom of the table features a key match between West Ham at Burnley. A second consecutive win at London Stadium would pull currently relegation bound West Ham even on points with currently barely safe Burnley.

All the way up the table, Arsenal will visit surprising Sunderland. The match is another litmus test for the unexpected success of the Black Cats. Premier League leader Arsenal is on a ten-match winning run across all competitions after their Champions League win on Tuesday.

Other matches this weekend will have Fulham making its first visit to the new Hill Dickinson Stadium to face Everton, Brentford facing Newcastle with each club coming off a loss and Chelsea hosting a Wolves side whose winless form saw their Manager Vitor Pereira sacked last weekend. Chelsea recently defeated Wolverhampton 4-3 in the EFL Cup on October 29th.

Premier League Week 10 Results: Liverpool Blanks Aston Villa To Stop Slide; First West Ham Win For Nuno As Hammers Beat Newcastle; Pereira Sacked After Wolves Fall To Fulham; Manchester United Leaves It Late To Salvage Point At Forest; Chelsea Wins At Spurs

Liverpool ended its Premier League drought with a 2-0 victory over visiting Aston Villa. A four-match losing run for the Reds also ended a four-match winning run by Aston Villa in the Premier League. Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah was gifted an opening goal on a poor clearance by Emi Martinez, a much-needed break for the struggling Salah and the Reds. The goal was Salah’s 250th for the Reds across all competitions, making the Egyptian star just the third player to accomplish that at Liverpool, joining Ian Rush and Roger Hunt. Ryan Gravenberch scored Liverpool’s insurance goal in the second half. Aston Villa threatened in the first half but was thoroughly frustrated in a second half where Manager Unai Emery was red carded for his vocalized discontent.

Arsenal, meanwhile, continued to employ what could prove a championship formula. The Gunners relied on a stifling defense and set piece mastery to defeat Burnley 2-0. The match was the seventh clean sheet for Arsenal and goalkeeper David Raya this season with the Premier League winners having allowed only three league goals all season. Victor Goyerkes scored the opening goal off a corner kick, marking the 12th time this season that Arsenal has converted from a dead ball situation. Declan Rice would score later in the first half to provide more than sufficient insurance for Arsenal and its smothering defense.

Manchester City is now Arsenal’s chief pursuer after the Citizens downed Bournemouth 3-1 at the Etihad. Erling Haaland was unsurprisingly the scoring star with two first half goals while teammate Nico Reilly became the first Manchester City player not named Haaland to score a goal since September. Bournemouth competed better than the final score might indicate but was unable to convert chances when presented, the Cherries’ Eli Kroup, in particular, wasting some good goal scoring opportunities.

Tottenham Hotspur’s struggles at home continued with a 1-0 loss to visiting Chelsea. Spurs has now taken but a single point from its last four home matches. Supporters are beginning to become frustrated with both those results and a style of play which is more pragmatic than pleasing. Things change quickly in the Premier League. After an overall good start to the Premier League season built on road success, Manager Thomas Frank is now coming under criticism for his style of play and the unfortunate results at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Chelsea, meanwhile, will hope Saturday’s goal by Joao Pedro proves a turning point for a player who had been brilliant much earlier in the season before slumping of late.

While Spurs and Chelsea were engaging in their London derby, a man’s job was going up in flames farther south in England’s capital city. Wolverhampton Manager Vitor Pereira was sacked immediately following Wolverhampton’s 3-0 loss to Fulham. Pereira was highly acclaimed for improvement he instituted last season to move Wolves out of relegation danger. He was even awarded a new three-year contract early this season despite signs that the tide was turning. The season has progressed miserably, however, for Pereira and the club as Wolves has yet to win and occupies that nefarious place at the bottom of the Premier League table. The stress was clearly taking a toll as Pereira had to be forcibly removed from a heated discussion with Wolves supporters just a week ago. The pasting at Craven Cottage proved to be the final straw. Whoever will replace Pereira is still a question mark. There should also be some shame on the part of Wolves ownership which stripped Pereira of stars like Matheus Cunha, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Nelson Semedo last summer with little to no reinvestment. The new Wolves manager will take over a side which is eight points from safety.

Another manager of a distressed side had a much better weekend than Pereira. Nuno Espirito Santo, himself a one-time Wolves manager and on his second team this season after parting ways with Nottingham Forest, recorded his first Premier League win as manager of West Ham in a 3-1 victory over Newcastle. In addition to the manager’s first win, it was the first home victory at London Stadium this season for the Hammers. West Ham moved to within three points of safe but vulnerable Burnley in battle for league survival.

Leeds, meanwhile, signaled its desire to be part of the relegation battle by losing for the third time in its last four Premier League matches. A 3-0 defeat at Brighton leaves the Whites just four points clear of the drop line. Diego Gomez scored two second half goals for the Seagulls after Danny Welbeck had given the Seagulls a halftime lead.

Nottingham Forest is a point below West Ham in the relegation zone. The Tricky Trees ended a four-match losing run but hoped for even more Saturday until Manchester United’s Amad Diallo scored an 81st minute equalizer in a 2-2 draw. While salvaging a point, the draw at the City Ground ended a three-match winning run for an improving Manchester United side.

It did not take long for Brentford to come back to earth after its impressive 3-2 win at Liverpool last week, part of a three-match winning streak for the Bees across all competitions which ended Saturday. Crystal Palace prevailed 2-0 over the Bees at Selhurst Park as JP Mateta scored his fourth goal in his last two matches for the Eagles. Mateta’s six goals on the season are joint second in the league, albeit well off the 13-goal pace of league leader goal scorer Erling Haaland.

Former Arsenal player Granit Xhaka scored his first Sunderland goal on Monday to give the Black Cats a 1-1 draw versus Everton. Xhaka’s 46th minute strike at the Stadium of Light equalized a match which was dominated by Everton in a first half which saw Iliman Ndiaye score to give the Toffees the halftime lead. Everton, piloted by former Black Cats Manger David Moyes, has now won but once in its last eight matches.
