Nottingham Forest 1-0 Manchester City
Nottingham Forest achieved a 1-0 win against Manchester City at the City Ground, courtesy of a late goal from Callum Hudson-Odoi. This victory keeps Forest in contention for a UEFA Champions League spot, highlighting an impressive season for the team. Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad remains in third place, having consistently stayed in the top four throughout 2025. On the other hand, City fall to fifth place.
Liverpool 3-1 Southampton
Liverpool overcame an early setback to achieve a 3-1 victory against Southampton, extending their lead at the top of the Premier League by 15 points. This win brings Liverpool closer to clinching their 20th top-tier title and serves as a solid preparation for their upcoming clash with PSG. Meanwhile, Southampton’s predicament worsens as they find themselves 14 points away from safety, putting them at greater risk of relegation.
Crystal Palace 1-0 Ipswich
Ipswich is the only Premier League team yet to secure a win in 2025, following Ismaïla Sarr’s late goal that earned Crystal Palace all three points. This outcome establishes a new undesirable record for Ipswich, as they have not won any of their first nine league matches in a calendar year for the first time. Meanwhile, the confident Eagles celebrate their third consecutive victory.
Brighton 2-1 Fulham
João Pedro’s penalty in the final moments of the match helped Brighton achieve a close 2-1 victory over Fulham at the Amex Stadium, breaking a nine-game winless streak against the Cottagers. This victory propels Brighton to 7th place, just one point behind Manchester City, while Fulham fall to 10th place.
Brentford 0-1 Aston Villa
Aston Villa achieved a Premier League victory, winning 1-0 against Brentford in a match that followed a UEFA Champions League game. This result leaves Brentford without a home win in their last eight matches across all competitions. Despite the win, it was only Villa’s second in their last eight Premier League games.
Wolves 1-1 Everton
Jack Harrison and Marshall Munetsi each scored, resulting in a tightly-fought 1-1 draw between Wolves and Everton. This match allowed David Moyes’ team to maintain their unbeaten streak in the Premier League, which now stands at eight games (4 wins, 4 draws). Wolves have lost only once in their last eight home league encounters against the Toffees and is in a solid position to steer clear of relegation.
Tottenham 2-2 Bournemouth
Bournemouth’s chances of qualifying for Europe took a hit when Tottenham managed to earn a draw of 2-2 in their Premier League match, preventing the Cherries from achieving their first league double over the north London team. This outcome means Iraola’s squad has not won in their last three Premier League games. On the other hand, Spurs remain in 13th place, eight points behind the top half of the table.
Chelsea 1-0 Leicester City
Chelsea overcame a determined Leicester City side at Stamford Bridge, recovering from Cole Palmer’s first-ever penalty miss in his professional career to achieve a 1-0 win in a thrilling Premier League encounter. With a strong home performance, Chelsea has moved back into the top four, now two points ahead of fifth-placed Manchester City.
Manchester United 1-1 Chelsea
Arsenal rallied from a goal deficit to achieve a 1-1 draw with Manchester United in the Premier League, making it the second consecutive match between the two clubs that concluded in a tie after 90 minutes. Consequently, Arsenal recorded their second consecutive draw in the Premier League, placing them 15 points behind the league leaders, Liverpool.
West Ham 0-1 Newcastle
Newcastle enhanced their chances of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League with a 1-0 victory over West Ham in the Premier League, thanks to a second-half goal from Bruno Guimarães. The Magpies comfortably managed the final moments of the match to earn an important three points ahead of their Carabao Cup final against Liverpool on Sunday. Meanwhile, West Ham stays in 16th place after failing to secure their first three consecutive Premier League wins since 2023.
