EPL TABLE AFTER LIVERPOOL WON 1 —0, CHELSEA WON 2-1, MAN UTD LOST 1-0, AND ARSENAL THRASHED IPSWICH 4-0Liverpool are on the brink of the Premier League title… If Arsenal lose to Crystal Palace on Wednesday, they will be crowned champions.

The race for the Premier League title has taken another dramatic turn following a thrilling weekend of football across England. Sunday’s round of matches delivered high-octane performances, late drama, and crucial points that could define the remainder of the season.

Liverpool were the biggest beneficiaries of the weekend as they edged closer to clinching the Premier League title with a narrow but vital 1-0 victory over a resilient Brentford side. The Reds, who had struggled in recent weeks, found rhythm just in time as Mohamed Salah marked his return with a game-winning goal in the second half.

With that result, Liverpool are now just one step away from lifting the title. The equation is simple: if Arsenal drop points against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night, Jürgen Klopp’s men will be mathematically crowned champions — a reward for their consistency and relentless pursuit throughout the season.

Manchester United, however, had a day to forget. Just days after their breathtaking European comeback against Lyon, the Red Devils looked fatigued and disjointed at Old Trafford, suffering a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers. Despite dominating possession and creating several clear-cut chances, United were undone by a spectacular second-half free kick from Wolves’ Portuguese midfielder Matheus Nunes.

It was a frustrating outing for Erik ten Hag’s side, who are now at risk of missing out on Champions League football next season. The defeat further deepens the questions surrounding United’s inconsistency and their inability to break down compact defensive teams.

Arsenal, on the other hand, bounced back in emphatic style. The Gunners demolished Ipswich Town 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium in what turned out to be a one-sided affair. Two early goals in the opening 15 minutes set the tone before Ipswich’s evening turned from bad to worse with a red card for a reckless challenge on Bukayo Saka.

Mikel Arteta’s side took full advantage of the numerical superiority, adding two more goals in the second half to seal a dominant victory. Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard were both on the scoresheet, while Martin Ødegaard ran the show from midfield with a masterclass in creativity.

The victory ensures Arsenal remain within touching distance of Liverpool, but Wednesday’s encounter against Crystal Palace now carries even greater weight. A loss would hand the title to Liverpool, while a win would keep the race alive heading into the final two gameweeks.

Elsewhere, Chelsea secured a hard-fought 2-1 win over Fulham in a spirited London derby at Craven Cottage. The Blues fell behind early on after Alex Iwobi capitalized on a defensive mix-up, but they showed character to respond swiftly.

Academy graduate Carney Chukwuemeka equalized just before the break with a well-placed finish, before Enzo Fernández stepped up in the second half with a thunderous strike from outside the box to complete the comeback. Mauricio Pochettino praised his team’s resilience post-match, highlighting the importance of such wins in building momentum for next season.

The weekend’s results have dramatically reshaped the Premier League standings. Liverpool remain top with a significant lead, Arsenal are second and praying for a miracle, while Manchester City and Aston Villa are locked in a fierce battle for the remaining Champions League spots.

Villa were ruthless on Saturday, hammering Newcastle United 4-0 in a display that underlined their attacking firepower. Ollie Watkins was unplayable, netting a brace, while Moussa Diaby and Douglas Luiz also found the net. Unai Emery’s men now sit comfortably in third and look odds-on to qualify for Europe’s elite competition next season.

Manchester City, meanwhile, left it late but pulled off a 2-1 win over Brighton at the Amex Stadium. Goals from Phil Foden and Jack Grealish in the dying minutes ensured Pep Guardiola’s side remain in the hunt, but the title might be slipping out of their reach with Liverpool and Arsenal already ahead.

With just a few fixtures remaining, every point now carries immense value. The battle for the title, European spots, and even survival at the bottom promises a chaotic and dramatic finish to what has been a captivating Premier League season.

As fans await Arsenal’s clash with Crystal Palace, the pressure is squarely on the Gunners to keep their slim hopes alive. If they falter, Anfield will erupt in celebration — and Liverpool will once again reign supreme in English football.

Stay tuned. The Premier League script is far from finished, and more twists are sure to come.
