Liverpool FC and its German team manager Jürgen Klopp can once again have a little more hope of fourth place in the Champions League in the Premier League. One day after the Reds' 2-1 win at West Ham United, fourth-placed Manchester United did not go beyond a 2-2 draw (2-0) at Tottenham Hotspur, increasing their lead over Klopp's team to only seven points instead of the possible nine. However, the "Spurs" pushed Liverpool back into seventh place with one point more.

Barely achievable for Liverpool, Newcastle United is in third place behind leaders Arsenal and champions Manchester City. Newcastle returned to winning ways with a 4-1 (1-0) win at relegation candidate Everton and are now two points ahead of Manchester United under coach Erik ten Hag.

In addition to Everton, who are second to last in the table, Southampton FC with national player Armel Bella-Kotchap also came a little closer to relegation in the basement of the table. The bottom of the table lost 0-1 (0-0) in the relegation duel with AFC Bournemouth and is still six points behind the first non-relegation place.

Manchester headed for their fourth league win in a row at Spurs after goals from former Dortmund player Jadon Sancho (7th) and Marcus Rashford (44th). But after the change of sides, the "Red Devils" had to accept the equalizer four days after reaching the FA Cup final through Pedro Porro (56th) and former Bundesliga star Heung-Min Son (79th). On the debut of interim coach Ryan Mason, the "Spurs" showed a reaction to the embarrassing 1-6 defeat at Newcastle United last weekend, at least in the second half.
