The latest round of Premier League fixtures is in the books as the 2020/21 season approaches the midway stage.

The weekend started with a valuable victory for West Brom at Wolves in the Black Country derby, before Brighton earned an equally precious win at Leeds United.

West Ham then edged struggling Burnley at the London Stadium and Chelsea got back to winning ways against 10-man Fulham. Saturday concluded with Leicester City continuing their title bid with a 2-0 win over Southampton.

Sunday kicked off with Tottenham beating bottom side Sheffield United and was followed by the latest goalless draw between Liverpool and Manchester United. Manchester City then continued their resurgence with a 4-0 hammering of Crystal Palace.

On Monday night, Arsenal climbed back into the top half of the table with a 3-0 win over Newcastle United.
