Premier League Matchweek 10: Arsenal Lead Title Race Into Final Round Before Break

The Premier League returns for Matchweek 10 this weekend, with Arsenal sitting top of the table on 24 points after nine rounds — three clear of Manchester City — as the title race takes shape.

The round opens on Friday night with Everton hosting Coventry City, before four games on Saturday: Leeds United against Tottenham, Arsenal at home to Hull City, Fulham against Newcastle United, and champions Manchester City away at Nottingham Forest in the evening kick-off.

Sunday brings five more fixtures, including Crystal Palace against Liverpool, Sunderland against Chelsea, and Manchester United hosting Aston Villa to close the weekend at Old Trafford.

A last round before the break

After Sunday the league pauses for two weeks for the November international break, with no Premier League football again until Saturday 21 November — making this weekend’s results the final word before the pause.

The chasing pack

City will know the gap before they kick off at the City Ground, having watched Arsenal host Hull earlier on Saturday, while Liverpool and Chelsea both face tricky away trips on Sunday as they try to stay in touch at the top.
