Liverpool will stay top of the Premier League after Manchester City were beaten by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
A Mohamed Salah hat-trick against Bournemouth moved Jurgen Klopp's side to the summit of English football and City could not leapfrog back over them after going down 2-0 in London.
City can effectively end Chelsea's Premier League title challenge at Stamford Bridge. The champions travel to London looking for a fourth consecutive win over the Blues across all competitions, which would move them 13 points clear of Maurizio Sarri's side with less than half the season played.
Arsenal and Manchester United both recorded much-needed wins, at home to Huddersfield and Fulham respectively, while Crystal Palace let a one-goal lead slip as they went down 3-2 to West Ham.
Tottenham conclude Saturday's action away at Leicester City. Newcastle host Wolves in Sunday's only game before Everton entertain Watford on Monday evening.
