Liverpool has claimed the top position in the Premier League, marking their first time leading under Jurgen Klopp since September 2021. They came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace, orchestrating a quick turnaround in the second half with Jordan Ayew’s dismissal and Mohamed Salah leveling the score.
Harvey Elliott’s decisive goal in the 91st minute, coupled with Arsenal’s 1-0 loss at Aston Villa, places Liverpool one point ahead of the Gunners in the league standings. Villa occupies the third position, holding a two-point advantage over Manchester City, who staged their own comeback to win 2-1 against Luton Town.
Meanwhile, despite a win over Brentford, Sheffield United remains at the bottom of the table, marking Chris Wilder’s first victory since returning as manager. The Blades and Burnley are tied with eight points, but Burnley holds the edge due to their superior goal difference. Meanwhile, Luton occupies the third and final relegation spot.
