Yet another enthralling round of Premier League football nearly comes to an end. After 36 goals were scored so far with 1 game still to come, it really was a weekend to remember for most of the attacking players of Premier League. With Southampton scoring heavily and Arsenal losing more pace and ground, here are four arguments that were the characteristic features of 8th weekend of Barclays Premier League.

1- Steadfast Chelsea
Chelsea entered this round with 5 points gap over the 2nd number team. And Jose Mourinho’s men did no harm to their form at all on Saturday. Being the only team unbeaten in the Premier League, Chelsea faced a tough test from resilient Crystal Palace. But the Blues had too much ammunition in their arsenal for its competitor. Fabregas was brilliant as usual and Oscar reminded his team mates about his class. So maybe a lot of football is yet to be played, But Chelsea has all the chances to go on and win the Premier League title this year.
2- Rampant Aguero
If you talk about the most consistent player in English Premier League over the past few years, Sergio Aguero tops the list without a doubt. With the best Goal per minute ratio in Premier League antiquity, Aguero also surpassed Carlos Tevez as the highest goal scorer in Manchester City’s history. And he did this after scoring four goals against a sorry Tottenham side. He was literally unstoppable after making the most of every chance he got in that match.
3- Fortunate Liverpool
Everybody knew Liverpool would struggle after losing their best player Luis Suarez to Barcelona. But the way Liverpool are playing at the moment, it airs much more difficult task for the Merseyside club. With just 1 clean sheet so far, Liverpool had to rely upon 2 own goals scored by an unlucky QPR side to get all 3 points. Dejan Lovren and Martin Skrtel were blown away by Eduardo Vargas but Brendan Rodgers might be the luckiest man on earth to return home with a win. Every day is not Sunday, so Liverpool needs huge improvement in their ranks to get something worthwhile this season.
4- Wenger in Trouble
Arsene Wenger was heavily criticised for his lack of ambition in transfer market. And after suffering a series of injuries, Arsenal’s thin squad is caught off guard. With just 2 wins in 8 league matches, it seems that Wenger’s historic Managerial career is in danger. Last year, Arsenal were on the top of League table on the mid of October. But after sitting on 8th spot at the moment, Wenger has to avert the crisis as soon as possible, otherwise Calamity will overcome him.
