Another weekend brought another round of exciting English Premier League fixtures. The highly-anticipated games didn’t disappoint, and there were a few shocking results here and there.
Both Man City and Liverpool lost their Matchday 14 ties, meaning Arsenal leapfrogged them in the standing. Here is how the top half of the table currently looks.
When you notice that the @premierleague Top 4 is "C.A.L.M.":

Sanchez’s "almost" unforgettable hat-trick
If you had Alexis Sanchez in your Fantasy Team, we’ve got news for you: you made a smart choice. The Chilean ace continued his fine form, following up on his lovely brace vs. Bournemouth with an excellent hat-trick against West Ham.
The north London outfit won 5-1, and Alexis joined Diego Costa at the summit of the top-scorers chart. Both have 11 goals under their belt, but the Spaniard edges out the Arsenal man due more assists.

His three-goal haul, however, was just five minutes shots of a club record. Furthermore, since Alexis assisted the opening goal on Saturday, he’s now just three short of Kevin de Bruyne’s tally of seven.

The top assist providers after 14 matches
Zlatan got his groove back
OK, things are still not going well for Manchester United. They drew (again), this time away to Everton. The Red Devils are in sixth, but the 1-1 draw has raised red flags.
There was at least one positive: Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s form. What was so impressive about his goal against the Toffees, you may ask. The answer is:
4 - After failing to score in six Premier League games in a row, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has now scored four in three games. Return.

Gary Cahill: A huge threat to Chelsea’s title bid
Chelsea won 3-1 at the Etihad; they maintained their lead at the top; both Diego Costa and Eden Hazard scored. So was everything perfect after the Blues’ Man City victory?
Sadly, no. The reason: Gary Cahill. He scored an own goal right before half time to set an awful record.

Conte’s boys luckily bounced back, but they might not be that fortunate next time.
