The gap at the Premier League summit continues to widen as a commanding Liverpool triumphed over arch-rival Manchester City, surging nine points clear at the top and 11 ahead of the defending champions. Goals from Cody Gakpo and Mo Salah not only secured the Reds' dominance but also tilted history in their favor. Remarkably, only two teams—Manchester United (1993/94) and Chelsea (2005/06)—have been nine or more points clear after 13 games, and both went on to claim the title. Could this be a sign of what’s to come in May?

Meanwhile, Chelsea capitalized on Aston Villa's poor form, while Manchester United cruised to a 4-0 victory over Everton, marking Ruben Amorim's first Premier League win. Arsenal dazzled with a five-star performance, thrashing West Ham 5-2 away, but Spurs stumbled to a 1-1 draw against a 10-man Fulham side.
