Ketegangan antara Brighton dan Arsenal meletus setelah The Gunners meraih kemenangan yang sengit di Amex Stadium untuk memperkuat upaya mereka dalam perburuan gelar pada Rabu malam. Manajer Seagulls, Fabian Hurzeler, melancarkan serangan pedas terhadap tim Mikel Arteta, menuduh mereka secara sengaja memanipulasi aturan dan menggunakan taktik mengulur waktu yang ekstrem dalam pertandingan di mana ia menyarankan hanya tuan rumah yang benar-benar berusaha bermain sepak bola.
Manchester United mengalami kekalahan pertamanya di bawah asuhan Michael Carrick setelah kalah 2-1 dari Newcastle yang bermain dengan 10 pemain pada Rabu. Meskipun memiliki keunggulan jumlah pemain sepanjang babak kedua, Setan Merah tidak mampu memanfaatkannya setelah Casemiro menyamakan kedudukan dari penalti Anthony Gordon, dan harus membayar mahal akibat gol indah Will Osula di menit akhir untuk The Magpies.
Mantan bintang Manchester United, Jesse Lingard, hampir melakukan debut yang sangat dinantikan bersama raksasa Brasil, Corinthians. Setelah meninggalkan Seoul pada Desember lalu, penyerang berusia 33 tahun ini secara resmi memulai program latihan khusus di Sao Paulo. Sambil menunggu persetujuan visa kerjanya, Lingard bersiap untuk bersatu kembali dengan Memphis Depay di Amerika Selatan.
Gol Bukayo Saka di babak pertama membawa Arsenal meraih kemenangan krusial 1-0 di kandang Brighton, memanfaatkan hasil imbang mengejutkan Manchester City 2-2 melawan Nottingham Forest untuk memperlebar jarak menjadi tujuh poin di puncak klasemen Premier League. Tim asuhan Mikel Arteta jauh dari performa terbaiknya di Amex Stadium, namun gol Saka pada menit kesembilan memberi mereka sesuatu untuk dipertahankan. Dengan penampilan gemilang Gabriel Magalhaes di lini belakang, mereka berhasil meraih kemenangan besar pada malam yang bisa jadi krusial dalam perburuan gelar.
Manchester City dua kali membuang keunggulan mereka dan berakhir imbang 2-2 di kandang melawan Nottingham Forest yang terancam degradasi pada Rabu, sehingga kehilangan poin dalam persaingan gelar Premier League melawan Arsenal. Antoine Semenyo dan Rodri mencetak gol untuk tim asuhan Pep Guardiola, namun mereka dua kali kebobolan di babak kedua akibat dua gol indah dari duet Inggris Morgan Gibbs-White dan Elliot Anderson.
Chelsea memperbesar peluang mereka untuk lolos ke Liga Champions musim depan dengan kemenangan telak 4-1 atas Aston Villa pada Rabu. The Blues telah menjalani tiga pertandingan tanpa kemenangan di Premier League, yang secara signifikan mengurangi peluang mereka untuk finis di lima besar, namun mereka membungkam banyak kritikus dengan kemenangan comeback yang luar biasa di West Midlands.
What's the cheapest way to watch as much Premier League football a season?

EE TV (formerly BT TV) also provide their Big Sport deal which includes TNT Sports and Sky Sports via NOW TV, for £45 per month, which is available for existing broadband customers, with the addition of Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
However, when it comes to bang for your buck, if you’re wanting to spend a little less, then the Complete Sky Sports package from an additional £22 per month on top of your current Sky TV deal is the best option, giving you over 128 games across a single season.
