OSG Prem: Chelsea, Arsenal Save Spots, Liverpool Climbs

((HT: Sky Sports))

The Winners on the end of the very busy holiday period were Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, and Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table.

The biggest surprise was from Spurs as they beat Man United at Old Trafford to continue the fan's consternation at David Moyes and the wonder of Tim Sherwood's run as new manager. Moyes was still hot over a non-PK call against Tottenham for their 6th loss of the season.

Chelsea went 3-0 over Southampton- who look tired now. Manager Jose Mourinho also said that Juan Mata and Michael Essien can look for new homes in the January transfer window. Man City outscored Swansea 3-2 countering Wilfried Bony's double. It now appears that Michu is out for six weeks with his ankle injury and surgery.

Arsenal scored two late to beat Cardiff. And it appears Nicklas Bendtner is out for "weeks" after getting an ankle injury. Liverpool needed a late goal from Luis Suarez to distance themselves over a tired Hull City squad by the same margin.

Here's the wrap through the eyes of the guys at Sky Sports...


The surprise on the day has to be the Fulham 2-1 win over West Ham- with Hammers manager Sam Allardyce wondering aloud where his captain, Kevin Nolan's, head has been recently after getting another red card. It forced a squad fighting for relegation to play a man down in a game they couldn't afford to lose.

Everton and Stoke drew as did Palace and Norwich. Also at the bottom, Villa beat Sunderland and West Brom knocked off Newcastle on a Berahino PK...
