At Turf Moor, Arsenal faced little difficulty in defeating Burnley 2-0, maintaining their position at the summit with 25 points after 10 rounds. This marks the fifth consecutive Premier League win for coach Mikel Arteta’s team. Consistent performance, a solid defense, and the brilliance of key players like Saka, Rice, and Gyokeres have shaped the “Gunners” into a confident and efficient unit.
Arsenal currently leads second-placed Man City by 6 points, a gap that gives them a psychological edge in the increasingly exciting title race.
After a setback against Aston Villa, Man City quickly regained their usual form by beating Bournemouth 3-1 at Etihad. Pep Guardiola’s stars continue to show superior strength, especially with Erling Haaland scoring consistently, netting a brace. This victory lifts The Citizens to second place with 19 points, reviving the championship chase against Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Liverpool ended a run of four straight defeats with an impressive performance against Aston Villa. Mohamed Salah returned to scoring, helping the “Reds” secure a comfortable 2-0 win, climbing to third place with 18 points. The spirit of Arne Slot’s squad has been rekindled at the right time, raising hopes for the rest of the season.
The London derby between Tottenham and Chelsea showcased the difference in experience and composure. The Blues won 1-0 away by capitalizing fully on the home side’s mistakes, moving closer to the top 5 with 17 points. Under Maresca, Chelsea is gradually shaping a more effective possession and pressing style.
In contrast, Manchester United dropped a likely win as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Nottingham Forest despite taking the lead. The Red Devils’ three-game winning streak was halted, dropping them to eighth place and allowing the top four to extend their gap. The Portuguese coach still needs to improve defensive capabilities if they aim to compete for European qualification this season.
After round 10, Arsenal continues to lead dominantly while Man City and Liverpool strive to keep pace, forming a “big three.” Behind them, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Sunderland are showing determination, promising a season full of twists for 2025/26.
At the bottom, Wolverhampton remains last with only 2 points, whereas West Ham and Nottingham Forest have earned their first points under new coaches, temporarily easing their crises.
With the revival of the giants, this season’s Premier League race is heating up with each passing round.
