As expected, Manchester City took the lead in the Premier League on Saturday. Coach Josep Guardiola’s team celebrated an easy 5-1 home win over newly promoted Luton Town and now has 73 points. Arsenal (71) and Liverpool (71) only play on Sunday and can overtake City again with wins. Liverpool will face Glasner’s club Crystal Palace, Arsenal will face Aston Villa.

ManCity took the lead in the second minute thanks to an own goal from Daiki Hashioka. Only after the break did the champions’ offensive really get going. Mateo Kovacic (64th), Erling Haaland (76th/penalty), Jeremy Doku (87th) and Josko Gvardiol (93rd) ensured clear conditions.
Tottenham Hotspur received a bitter 4-0 defeat in Newcastle. Alexander Isak scored twice for the northern English team. The “Spurs” remain fifth with 60 points behind Villa (also 60).
