February 1st and 2nd - Two more goals from Mo Salah sent Liverpool nine points clear of the rest on Saturday night. A very tricky looking trip to the South Coast was successfully negotiated as Bournemouth were beaten two-nil. The first came from the penalty spot before half time with the second coming in the final quarter. Bournemouth will look back at a couple of very good chances missed as crucial times as their long unbeaten run came to an end. That win heaped the pressure on Arsenal who faced Man City on Sunday. And they responded in fine style, beating the champions by five goals to one. Erling Haaland's equaliser early in the second half threatened the Gunners but four goals later and the gap at the top was back to six points.

Nottingham Forest bounced back from last week's five-nil loss by hitting Brighton for seven at the City Ground. Chris Wood moved on to seventeen league goals for the season scoring a hat-trick in that one. Forest remain nine points off top spot having played a game more than the leaders.

Abdoulaye Decoure scored the quickest ever goal at Goodison Park as Everton cantered to victory over Leicester. His goal after ten seconds was followed by three more as the new manager bounce continued under the returning David Moyes. That's three wins in a row for the Toffees who are now nine points clear of the relegation zone. Newcastle's top four hopes were dealt a serious blow when they lost two-one at home to Fulham. Goals from Raul Jiminez and Rodrigo Munoz moved Fulham up to ninth in the table.

Wolves two-nil win at home to Aston Villa saw them move out of the bottom three. Goals from Bellegarde and Cunha gave them just their fifth win of the season. The other two sides in the relegation zone met at Portman Road. Southampton shocked the hosts Ipswich Town winning two-one. Goals from Joe Aribo and Paul Onuachu gave the Saints just their second win of the season.

Two other games on Sunday saw two away wins. Tottenham picked up a much needed win with a two-nil win at Brentford. It was the same score at Old Trafford where Jean-Philippe Mateta scored twice as Crystal Palace beat Man United. Ruben Amorin has lost five of his first seven games at Old Trafford. No wonder Jim Ratcliffe wants to build a new stadium....

Anastas Popov leads the February competition after the first round of games - his score of 41 points is ten clear of five people on 31 - Darragh Kenny, Eoghan Farrelly, Joe O'Brien, Kev Dalton and Robert Hynes - full details below:

  


February 12th to 16th - Liverpool's lead at the top of the table, with all clubs now having played the same amount of games, is seven points. Arne Slot's side picked up four points from the two games played this week. A two-all draw at Everton was followed by a hard-fought two-one win at home to Wolves on Sunday. Mo Salah scored in both games to bring his total for the season to 23. Only a late James Tarkowski equaliser denied the Reds a win in the final deby at Goodison Park.

Arsenal remained in touch with a two-nil win at Leicester City. Mikel Merino scored both goals inside the final ten minutes for the strikerless Gunners whose injury problems worsened with a season ending injury for Kai Harvetz. Nottingham Forest's defeat at Fulham on Saturday looks to have ended their slim title hopes. Forest are now thirteen points off the lead with thirteen games to play.

Omar Marmoush scored a hat-trick as Man City beat Newcastle four-nil at the Etihad. Pep Guardiola's side are fourth in the table ahead of Liverpool's visit next weekend. Bournemouth won three-one along the South Coast at Southampton who remain on just nine points for the season, rooted to the bottom of the table.

Chelsea's chances of a top four finish were damaged by a second loss at Brighton in a week. After exiting the FA Cup last week, they lost three-nil at the Amex Stadium on Friday night. Tottenham's first home win in three months came following a one-nil win at home to Man United - United dropped to fifteenth in the table after an eighth league defeat under Ruben Amiron...

Ipswich were the only side in the bottom six to pick up a point. They picked up a point, despite being reduced to ten men at Aston Villa. Liam Delap's opener was cancelled out by Ollie Watkins' late equaliser. Everton's revival continued - they picked up another win on the road, two-one at Crystal Palace and are now fourteenth in the table, eleven points clear of the bottom three.

Anastas Popov leads the way for a second week - he has an eight point lead over Robert Hynes in second place. Three people share third place then - Andy Dunne, Christina Morgan and Tommy Hamill. Full details below ahead of next weekend's games which will decide our latest monthly winner:

  


February 19th to 23rd - Every week that goes by seems like Mo Salah breaks another record. Liverpool recorded a massive victory on Sunday, winning two-nil at Man City to move eleven points clear at the top of the table. Salah opened the scoring and then registered another assist, setting up a goal for Dominic Szoboslai before half time. This weekend was one in which Arsenal would have looked at the fixture list and fancied their chances of narrowing at the gap at the top of the table. Instead, Jarrod Bowen's 50th Premier League goal dealt Arsenal's title ambitions a massive blow. He scored the only goal of the game at the Emirates as West Ham won the derby by a single goal. A win for the Gunners would have reduced Liverpool's lead to just five points. Instead, it increased to eleven on Sunday evening.

The three promoted teams all conceded four goals in heavy defeats. Brighton continued their recent good run with a four-nil win at South Coast rivals Southampton. The Seagulls finished Saturday just four points outside the top four. It can only be a matter of time though before the Saints' relegation back to the Championship is confirmed. Ipswich and Leicester are both five points from safety. Brennan Johnson scored twice as Tottenham won four-one at Ipswich. Leicester lost four-nil at home to Brentford on Friday night. Wolves were the big winners in the relegation battle - Matheus Cunha scored the only goal as they won one-nil at Bournemouth on Saturday.

Man United came from two goals down at Everton to earn a point following a two-all draw. Beto and Decoure had the Toffees two up at half time. However, Bruno Fernandes pulled one back from a free-kick and Manuel Ugarte's first goal for the club ensured the points were shared. Aston Villa climbed to seventh in the table following a two-one win at home to Chelsea. Enzo Fernandez opened the scoring for the visitors but two goals from Marco Asensio gave Unai Emery's side all three points. Another London derby went the way of Crystal Palace who won two-nil at Fulham. Sunday's other game saw Newcastle beat Nottingham Forest to move level on points with fourth placed Man City. Eddie Howe's side came out on the right side of a seven goal thriller - Alexander Isak scoring twice in a four-three win.

Robert Hynes leads the February monthly competition with a score of 118 points. With the midweek games to go he is seven points clear of Andy Dunne in second place. An excellent score of 49 points sees James Keville climb to third place. Brian Haughton and Jack Draper share fourth spot:

  


February 25th to 27th - Liverpool's grip on the title strengthened further again midweek. Arsenal's failure to score at Nottingham Forest in a nil-all draw meant the leaders went thirteen points clear with a straightforward two-nil win at home to Newcastle. Dominic Sbozoslai scored in the first half and was joined by his fellow midfielder Alexis McAllister on the scoresheet in the second half. With ten games to go, six of which are at home, Liverpool are seven wins away from the title.

The battle for the Champions League spots has plenty left to run - just six points separate Nottingham Forest in third from Aston Villa in tenth. Man City are fourth in the table after Erling Haaland returned to score the only goal at Tottenham. Chelsea cruised to a four-nil win at home to Southampton. Brighton won at Bournemouth to join their opponents on 43 points. Fulham picked up a decent two-one win at Wolves while Aston Villa crashed to a four-one defeat at a resurgent Crystal Palace.

The bottom three all suffered defeats so it's as you were in the relegation battle. As well as Southampton's loss, Ipswich lost three-two at ten-man Man United. Leicester lost two-nil at West Ham on Thursday night. Hard to see beyond relegation for the three promoted clubs at this stage.

A score of 62 points, which included no less than four ten-pointers saw Jason Maloney climb from tenth place to win the February monthly competition. He had five points to spare over Andy Dunne and Joseph Kavanagh who shared second place. The top five for the month was completed by Keith Nerney and Jack Draper - full details below:
