Premier League table looks pretty much unchanged after match-day 18 fixtures with Liverpool, Leicester City, and Manchester City retaining the top three spots.

Although the Reds had their clash with West Ham United postponed due to their FIFA Club World Cup engagement in Qatar over the weekend, the Merseyside outfit are still ten points better than Leicester who sit second.

The Foxes failed to reduce the gap between them and the Reds following their 3-1 defeat to Man City who are third with 38 points.

Chelsea continued to push for a top-four finish at the end of the season following their 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur during the London derby.

Two goals from Brazilian superstar Willian were all the Blues needed to hand their former boss Jose Mourinho another defeat to an ex-club.

The west London club completed the top four teams on the table with 32 points from 18 matches - although, Frank Lampard's armies were sloppy in their last six games.

They have just two wins in their last six Premier League outings - and they are six points behind third-placed Man City.

Newly-promoted side Sheffield United were the weekend's biggest gainers as they sit fifth with 28 points, thanks to their 1-0 win over Brighton.

The Blades have been too sharp lately winning their last three English topflight games - thereby displacing Wolverhampton Wanderers to keep the position.

Tottenham Hotspur are seventh, Man United are eighth and Arsenal who drew with Everton over the weekend are eleventh on the log.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa, Norwich City, and Watford might not survive relegation if they maintain their sloppy performances in the second half of the season.

They are 18th, 19th and 20th in that order and unless they turn the table around, they might be playing in the Championship next campaign.
