While Chelsea look unstoppable, the real battle is below them where only two points separate Tottenham and sixth-placed Manchester United. Arsenal put two Premier League defeats - and days of uncertainty about manager Arsene Wenger - behind them to beat Hull City 2-0 and move above Manchester City into third. United stayed sixth after beating Watford 2-0 - a victory that meant they become the first club to reach 2,000 points in the Premier League since it began in 1992. Fifth-placed Manchester City play Bournemouth on Monday when victory would leapfrog them into second. Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp was delighted as his side moved into fourth place, a point behind the two north London clubs and ahead of Manchester City on goal difference.
