Another round of the Premier League is almost over – Leicester vs West Brom is the only remaining game. There were shock defeats for two top-six sides – Chelsea and Arsenal – whilst Liverpool and Man United played out a disappointing draw.
Man City and Tottenham both won, but it was the Citizens that stole the headlines thanks to a 7-2 win over Stoke City. Lukaku remains the top-scorer with seven goals, but the most creative player is a Man City man – David Silva with six assists.

Petr Cech yet to save a penalty since 2015
Arsenal fans thought they solved their goalkeeping problem when they signed Petr Cech from Chelsea, and although he makes incredible saves every now and then, he is no spot-kick specialist.
Since arriving at the Emirates, he has faced 12 penalties in all competitions – the last coming in Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Watford. He is yet to save a single one.

Chelsea in a slump?
When Chelsea traveled to Crystal Palace, none expected the defending champions to lose. However, they were surprisingly beaten 2-1, meaning this was only the first time the London giants lost two consecutive games under Conte.
