6:1. With such an unexpected and stunning result, the football players of London's "Tottenham Hotspur" defeated "Manchester United" in the first round of the English Premier League matches. On Sunday, these clubs will meet again. The Manchester team has now earned three victories in a row, remaining unbeaten for ten consecutive matches. "Manchester United" has collected 60 points from 30 matches and occupies second place. "Tottenham," competing for a place in the top four, has 49 points and is moving forward. The London team has won four of its last six matches. In the Premier League, Manchester and London clubs have faced each other 57 times. "United" still holds a convincing advantage - 35 wins, 10 losses, 12 draws. "Liverpool," who will likely not defend their champions title, will face Birmingham's "Aston Villa" on Saturday and try to avenge the crushing defeat they suffered in their first match of the season. The main goal of the Liverpool team now is to reach the top four. Jurgen Klopp's players have accumulated 49 points and are in seventh place. They have won their last two English championship matches. However, in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, "Liverpool" suffered a 1-3 defeat to Madrid's "Real" club this week. "Aston Villa" has played one match less. In the ninth position, the team has 44 points. In the first round, Birmingham footballers sensationally defeated "Liverpool" 7-2. On Sunday, London's "West Ham United" and "Leicester City," both performing well this season, will clarify their relationships. The fact that these teams are in the top four is one of the biggest surprises of the championship. The "Hammers" with 56 points are in third place, while the "Foxes" are in fourth place with four points fewer. In the first round, "West Ham" defeated their opponents 3-0. League leader "Manchester City" will face "Leeds United" on Saturday at their stadium. "City" has accumulated 74 points in 31 matches. Few doubt that "City" players will become champions of the English Premier League this season. However, in the first round, the Manchester club failed to defeat the 11th-placed Leeds footballers - the match ended in a 1-1 draw. The recent savings bank has 42 points from 30 matches. "Manchester City" forced Dortmund's "Borussia" club to surrender in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals this week with a 2-1 victory.
