Lawrenson: 'Arsenal holds the top spot, Man Utd wins resoundingly' 0
Arsenal’s high form is difficult to lose against Newcastle in a crisis.
Arsenal 3-0 Newcastle
Just two days after a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Southampton, the `Gunners` returned to winning ways by overcoming Bournemouth 2-0.
At home, Arsenal have never lost in the Premier League since the opening round and played extremely well here.
West Ham 0-2 Liverpool
West Ham defeated Southampton in the previous round after five consecutive draws.
Meanwhile, Liverpool appears to be more dangerous away from home than at home at this time.
Leicester 1-1 Bournemouth
Everyone is wondering if the bubble called Leicester has burst after the last two matches only won one point and did not score any goals.
Jamie Vardy has only scored once in the last five matches, but it is still too early to be concerned about this player’s form after a great period at the beginning of the season.
Bournemouth was unbeaten in six consecutive matches, before being defeated by Arsenal in round 19. Opponents who lost in the newly promoted team’s series of matches include Chelsea and Man Utd.
Rooney and Man Utd need victory to lift their spirits.
Man Utd 3-0 Swansea
Man Utd has gone eight consecutive matches without winning, but what they performed against Chelsea was much better.
The pressure on coach Van Gaal is not only to win big every week but also to show attractive gameplay.
Watford 1-1 Man City
Watford suffered a painful defeat against Tottenham recently when they lost in the 89th minute, after a heel strike from Son Heung Min.
Man City will not have the services of Kompany for at least another month, which makes their defense continue to be a weakness against their opponents.
It is very difficult for Man City to keep a clean sheet against Watford.
Crystal Palace 1-2 Chelsea
Coach Hiddink only won draws in his first two matches leading Chelsea, meaning the defending champion has only won two of the last 10 rounds in the Premier League.
Diego Costa has shown a new face since Mourinho left.
On the other side, Crystal Palace seemed to slow down after two attacking stars Yannick Bolasie and Connor Wickham were injured.
