Newcastle's streak of 5 league wins in a row was abruptly ended by Aston Villa today, who themselves are now on a 5 league wins streak.
I was surprised how effortless that win was for Villa. 4 goals might sound like a lot, but it could easily have been 5 or 6 (they had 3 shots of the woodwork).
Villa are now placed 6th, but they are only 2 points away from the 3rd place (currently occupied by Newcastle), and if they keep playing like that, that should be achievable.
Man City earned 3 points on Everton with a 2-0 win, but it took them 84 minutes to score the first goal. Not the greatest performance, but Everton has a decent defence and is not easy to defeat.
Chelsea are playing away against Fulham tomorrow. They are a slight favourite but I don't agree with that. I consider Fulham the more probable winner, or they will split points.
