Chelsea might finally be finding its stride under Graham Potter while Liverpool's up-and-down season took another nosedive in the English Premier League on Saturday.
Chelsea made it three straight wins in all competitions for the first time since October by beating Leicester 3-1 away, another sign that the expensively assembled team is starting to gel under Potter.
Liverpool, though, followed its record 7-0 win over archrival Manchester United by losing 1-0 at relegation-threatened Bournemouth — a team it beat 9-0 at home in August.
Manchester City again looked far from its best but still kept the pressure on leader Arsenal by beating Crystal Palace 1-0 away thanks to a second-half penalty by Erling Haaland. That cut Arsenal's lead to two points ahead of its visit to Fulham on Sunday.
Liverpool's surprising loss threw away much of the momentum it had generated recently after a woeful first half of the season, and Jurgen Klopp's team is six points behind fourth-placed Tottenham in the fight for the final Champions League place, albeit with a game in hand.
“This game was a massive knock," Klopp said. "You know how it is with knocks, you have to take them and see how big the scars are and go from there.” Tottenham beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 at home after Harry Kane scored twice in the first half.
Bournemouth began the day in last place but climbed up to 17th, with Everton also leaving the relegation zone after Dwight McNeil scored just 35 seconds into a 1-0 win over Brentford.
