Another round of the Premier League has gone by, and it has led to madness, upsetting results for some, and exuberating results for others. Leaders Chelsea are yet to play, but have seen their advantage slashed.
The Blues take on West Ham on Monday in need of a victory, with second-placed Tottenham breathing down their neck. Here’s how the Premier League table looks like.
Harry Kane – a Tottenham great in the making?
Arsenal fans can be forgiven for envying their north London rivals. Tottenham are currently the best team in the league after Chelsea, and they have an excellent striker in Harry Kane, who, unlike Alexis Sanchez, will be staying.
On Sunday, he scored twice at home against Everton to guide Pochettino’s side to a 3-2 win. His brace saw him set a new record: he became the highest Tottenham scorer in home Premier League games in a single season.
14 - Harry Kane has scored 14 home league goals this season, the highest number ever recorded by a Spurs player in a single PL season. Own.

The Spurs striker is also this season's top scorer
Arsenal’s away form against the top six is bad… really bad
Everything is spiraling out of control at Arsenal. The north London giants are in fifth, and in grave danger of missing out on a Champions League spot.
Talks of Arsene Wenger’s departure continue, with several names being linked as his replacement. Meanwhile, Alexis Sanchez looks ready to walk out the Emirates door as well.
The 3-1 loss to Liverpool made things worse. The Gunners are yet to win an away game against the current top six in their last 11 attempts. Here are the stats
Played: 11
Won: 0
Drew: 5
Lost: 6
Guardiola drastically improving Man City’s defense
Man City’s defensive woes pretty much cost them the league. Despite spending big on John Stones, the Englishman and his fellow defenders committed several errors to douse the Citizens’ title hopes.
However, things are changing. On Sunday, Guardiola’s boys set a club record: registering five consecutive away clean sheets in all competitions.
