10 things we learned from the penultimate weekend

Welcome to today’s post.

Today I will be discussing things we learned from the penultimate weekend of the top-flight season

1.     Huddersfield draw show how bad Manchester United are, in other words, it shows how bad they have become recently 

2.     When Liverpool lost Mohamed Salah in last season's Champions League final they had to turn to Adam Lallana. Their bench was a weakness.

                          

         Manchester United's hopes of a top-four finish ended with Sunday's draw at Huddersfield

3.    A summation of Arsenal's first season under Unai Emery is simple. Their attack is good, their defence is bad.

4.    If Chelsea are to lose Eden Hazard this summer, then at least he has provided them with lasting memories this campaign and helped them back into the Champions League.

5.    Liverpool are now the first team in Premier League history to have two defenders provide 10 or more assists each in a single campaign – Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson both have 11.

Liverpool beat Newcastle to leapfrog Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table

6.     The case of Neil Warnock leads to a question about how teams should handle promotion to the Premier League. Warnock holds the promotion record in this country and it's fair to say no one expected him to take his Cardiff team up last season. He is as close as you can get to a Championship whisperer.

7.     Marko Arnautovic is back – and that will mean a lot to West Ham. After his failed transfer to China, he went completely off the boil and the fans responded in kind.

8.    Wolves are now 31 points ahead of Fulham after Saturday's win and on the cusp of Europe. Nuno Espirito Santo will get plenty of deserved praise, but it is also time to raise a glass to the team handling Wolves' transfer business.

9.    Everything seems to be coming together for Everton, not least in terms of their defence. The 2-0 win against Burnley was their fifth consecutive clean sheet in a row at Goodison Park.

10. A big way in which football has changed over the last decade is just how big of an attacking outlet all full backs have become. Jurgen Klopp has taken that to a new extreme.
