As expected, champions Manchester City took the lead at the top of the English Premier League on Saturday. Coach Pep Guardiola's team celebrated an unchallenged 5:1 home win over newly promoted Luton Town and now have 73 points.

Arsenal (71) and Liverpool (71) do not play until Sunday and can overtake City again with victories. Liverpool take on Glasner's Crystal Palace, while Arsenal face Aston Villa.

Tottenham Hotspur suffered a bitter 4-0 defeat at Newcastle. Alexander Isak scored twice for the northern club. Spurs remain fifth with 60 points behind Villa (also 60).
