The English Premier League Week 7 review:
Week 7 ended with little movement at the highpoint of the table. The two Manchester clubs sit comfortably above 3rd place with a 5-point gap. Making sure they’d both stay at the top even if they were to lose during week 8 this weekend.
Chelsea and Spurs swap between each other after Chelsea’s home defeat to the powerful Pep. Both Liverpool and Watford drop out of the top five after disappointing results.
Meanwhile Arsene Wenger’s men leap back into the top five with some pretty assuring performances put together. The middle of the table continues to chop and change, making a measly 5 points the difference between 7th place and 16th.

Down at the concerning end of the table, West Ham pull themselves together and lift their club out of the bottom three. Following them was Mark Hughes’ Stoke City, who’s had an intermitted seven weeks.
Falling down and moving in the other direction was Swansea City, who finds them in a familiar place to last season’s toilet space. The two clubs not to budge unintentionally from the drop spots are both, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth.
