- Manchester City remain in range with a game in hand after a 1-0 win at Leeds, secured by Antoine Semenyo as Erling Haaland sat out with what Pep Guardiola called a minor issue.
- Pedro Neto was sent off for two quick yellows, becoming the seventh Chelsea player dismissed this league season and adding to a discipline problem that is jeopardising their push for a top‑five finish before a trip to Aston Villa.
- Manchester United climbed to third by beating Crystal Palace 2-1, with Bruno Fernandes converting a penalty and Benjamin Sesko heading the winner as Michael Carrick’s unbeaten interim run continued.
