Oh how the mighty are falling.
The top four teams in the table combined for just three points this week, giving hope to would-be title contenders underneath.
With a home win over Hull City, United could have climbed within ten points of Chelsea at the top. United also hold the league’s longest unbeaten streak, which increased to 13 games on Wednesday.
Chelsea’s 1-1 draw at Anfield was only the team’s second stalemate this season. That’s tied for the league-lowest with Burnley, who are the surprise of the league in ninth place.
The biggest deal on transfer deadline day was an export, as Watford’s Odion Ighalo became the latest scorer to leave for China for a fee reportedly worth £20 million.
