League leaders Liverpool are set to take on seventh-placed Aston Villa later today at Anfield, looking to maintain their position at the top.
Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Gary O’Neil faced immense pressure following a dismal 13-match winless streak in the Premier League. The wait for a victory came to an end as Pablo Sarabia netted the club’s quickest goal in Premier League history, capitalizing on a pass from Matheus Cunha.
Cunha then doubled the lead early in the second half with a spectacular strike, securing a crucial three points for Wolves and pushing Southampton down to the bottom of the table.
Meanwhile, Fulham soared into the top six by handing Crystal Palace another defeat, wrapping up a 2-0 victory at Selhurst Park. Emile Smith Rowe seized on an error from Maxence Lacroix to break the deadlock just before halftime.
Crystal Palace’s hopes of a comeback were dashed when Daichi Kamada received a red card for a reckless challenge on Kenny Tete. Harry Wilson, a substitute, emerged as the hero for Fulham, scoring twice in stoppage time to seal a 2-1 win over Brentford, further elevating his team’s ambitions.

In a thrilling encounter, Brentford managed to edge past Bournemouth with a 3-2 victory, thanks to Yoane Wissa’s brace. The Cherries, having taken the lead twice through Evanilson and Justin Kluivert, were pegged back each time by Wissa and Mikkel Damsgaard’s quick responses. Wissa’s decisive strike marked his seventh goal in eight league games this season, pushing Brentford into the top half of the table.
In contrast, West Ham and Everton played out a disappointing 0-0 draw, which left both sets of fans frustrated. The draw, however, provides Everton with a vital point, distancing them four points clear of the relegation zone.
All eyes will be on the Amex later, where history could be made if an injury-depleted Manchester City suffers another defeat. Pep Guardiola has never before faced the prospect of a fourth consecutive loss in his storied 16-season managerial career.
Currently, Liverpool lead City by two points, embracing a formidable start to the season under new management. Arne Slot has steered the Reds to an impressive record of 14 wins and one draw from his first 16 matches in all competitions, while Unai Emery’s Aston Villa aim to turn their fortunes around after suffering three straight losses across different competitions.
