Premier League Round 7 results:Bournemouth 3-1 Fulham, Leeds United 1-2 Tottenham, Arsenal 2-0 West Ham, Manchester United 2-0 Sunderland, Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool, Newcastle 2-0 Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa 2-1 Burnley, Wolves 1-1 Brighton, Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace, Brentford 0-1 Manchester City.

After seven rounds, the Premier League standings have shifted, with Arsenal overtaking Liverpool by one point to claim first place. This season represents Arsenal's best chance at the title. Liverpool has suffered three consecutive defeats across all competitions, facing many issues with poor attacking cohesion and a disorganized defense. Tottenham and Manchester City both played poorly this round but still secured three points each. Guardiola’s team was dominated by Brentford in the second half and defended narrowly to win, with Guardiola resembling Mourinho in style—something he dislikes—but the three points are what matter most. Chelsea showed strength against tough opponents, clinching a 2-1 home win over Liverpool, ending a three-game winless streak and handing Liverpool their third straight loss in all competitions. Manchester United faced a weaker side, Sunderland, and secured three points, temporarily saving manager Amroli's job. Bournemouth is the surprise in the top four; despite losing four key defenders and their goalkeeper this season, the Cherries quickly rebuilt and now have 14 points from 4 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, sitting in a Champions League spot.

In the latest Premier League top scorers, Haaland scored this round and leads with 9 goals (none from penalties). Second place is Semenyo from Bournemouth with 6 goals (including 1 penalty). For assists, Kudus has matched Grealish, both tied at 4 assists, sharing the top spot.
