Top six back to winning ways
After a spate of draws and losses for the top teams in the English Premiership in the last few rounds, this time all the top six teams on the ladder won.
Manchester United and Aston Villa needed injury time goals to secure all three points whilst Arsenal and Chelsea settled their matters early in the first half.
Liverpool's win over Blackburn means that the Anfield outfit maintained top position and Hull's comeback win over Middlesborough means their chase for a European place next season is alive and well.
At the bottom, of the teams in the relegation zone only West Bromwich Albion managed to get something out from the weekend matches.
Blackburn lost to Liverpool while for Sunderland it was a heart-breaking loss as they lost at Old Trafford to an injury time goal scored with seconds left on the clock.
A quick look at the recent form for all the teams shows that no team at the moment has won the last six matches:
| Team | Recent Form |
|---|---|
| Arsenal | LWLLWW |
| Aston Villa | LLWDDW |
| Blackburn | DLLLLL |
| Bolton | WWLWWL |
| Chelsea | WWWDLW |
| Everton | WWDLWL |
| Fulham | LWWDDD |
| Hull City | LLDDDW |
| Liverpool | LWWDDW |
| Manchester City | LLDWLD |
| Manchester United | WLWDWW |
| Middlesbrough | DWDLDL |
| Newcastle | WLDDDD |
| Portsmouth | LWDDWD |
| Stoke City | WDLWDD |
| Sunderland | LLWLLL |
| Tottenham | WWLWLW |
| West Bromwich Albion | DLLLLD |
| West Ham | DLDWDL |
| Wigan | WDDWWL |
Not surprisingly the worst record belongs to the teams lying in the relegation zone.
In the coming round its going to be interesting to see what happens between the Black Cats and the Baggies.
Another interesting match will see Spurs face Manchester United and that will be a good test for Harry Redknapp's team.
