Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal
In a well-balanced London derby, Arsenal's skipper Martin Ødegaard made a triumphant return after a two-month absence. Ødegaard assisted Gabriel Martinelli to open the scoring in the 60th minute.

Kai Havertz had a goal disallowed for offside in the first half, and Leandro Trossard fumbled a last-gasp winner, leaving both teams to share the spoils.

Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa
Liverpool continued their fine form with another counterattacking masterclass. Mohamed Salah assisted and scored, becoming the first player to reach double digits for both assists and goals in all competitions this season. The Reds secured a 2-0 win over Aston Villa.
