Premier League leaders Chelsea saw their lead at the summit cut to four points after losing at Manchester United on Sunday.

Antonio Conte’s men saw second place Tottenham thump Bournemouth 4-0 on Saturday to cut the gap at the top, and the Blues were unable to respond, instead going down 2-0 to former manager Jose Mourinho’s Red Devils.

And it all means that, with just six games of the season remaining, Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs are only four points adrift, and given that they are on a wonderful seven-match winning streak, the Premier League title race isn’t over just yet.

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool remain third after narrowly defeating West Brom 1-0 at the Hawthorns, and the Reds remain two points clear of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City after they impressively saw off Southampton 3-0 at St Mary’s.

United’s win over Chelsea took them up to fifth, and they are now three points ahead of Arsenal despite Arsene Wenger’s men getting back to winning ways by beating Middlesbrough on Monday night – the Gunners are level on points with Everton, who got the better of Burnley 3-1 on Saturday to remain seventh.

At the bottom, Sunderland took a step closer to relegation after only drawing 2-2 at home to West Ham, while Swansea suffered a 21st league defeat of the campaign by losing 1-0 at Watford, who climbed into the top ten as a result.

Marco Silva’s Hull remain just two points clear of the bottom three after going down 3-1 at Stoke, while champions Leicester saw a two-goal lead slip to draw 2-2 with a resurgent Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

So, in what was a frantic weekend of action in England’s top tier, here is What’s Hot and What’s Not from the last few days in the Premier League…
