Chelsea and Aston Villa dropped points this weekend ahead of Manchester United’s trip to Everton on Monday.
Manchester United haven’t even kicked a ball yet and already it’s been a huge weekend in the battle for the Champions League football.
Chelsea and Aston Villa both dropped points on Saturday as the Blues threw away a lead at home to relegation-threatened Burnley to draw 1-1. Villa came from behind at home to Leeds but they too had to settle for a point after Anton Stach’s superb free-kick had given the visitors the lead.
There was almost more good news for United on Sunday as Liverpool looked set to drop points at Nottingham Forest. But Arne Slot’s side grabbed a late winner through Alexis Mac Allister after the Argentina international had seen a goal disallowed for handball just a few minutes earlier.
