In the 21st round of the Premier League, the big six all dropped points collectively: 4 teams drew and 2 teams lost, ending Arsenal's five-game winning streak.

At 4 a.m. Beijing time on January 9, the last fixture of the 21st Premier League round, a top-four showdown, saw Arsenal host Liverpool. The match was uninspired from both sides, particularly Arsenal in the second half, who looked as if they had lost focus, with Arteta seemingly content to settle for a single point at home. The game ended 0-0, stopping Arsenal’s five-game winning streak, but they remain 6 points clear at the top of the standings.

Can you imagine? In the 21st round of the Premier League, all six big teams dropped points together—4 teams drew and 2 teams were defeated!

• Manchester City: Drew 1-1 at home against Brighton, marking their third consecutive draw.
• Chelsea: Lost 1-2 away to Fulham, extending their winless streak to five matches.
• Tottenham: Lost 2-3 on the road to Bournemouth, with only one win in their last six games.
• Manchester United: Drew 2-2 away at Burnley, marking their third consecutive draw, all against relegation-threatened teams.
• Arsenal and Liverpool shared the points in a 0-0 draw.

After 21 rounds in the Premier League, the latest standings show Arsenal still leading by 6 points, followed by Manchester City in second, Liverpool fourth, Manchester United seventh, Chelsea eighth, and Tottenham fourteenth. Brentford in fifth and Crystal Palace in thirteenth are separated by only 5 points, making the battle for the fifth spot (Champions League qualification) extremely intense this season. Manchester City have already signed Semeniou, but with Gvardiol out for the season, it will be a tough challenge for City to catch Arsenal!
