Nakon poslijepodnevnih susreta 25. engleske dionice doznalo se novo ime na vrhu poretka. To je londonski Cheslea koji je hat-trickom Belgijanca Edena Hazarda slavio protiv Newcastle United 3:0. Plavci su tako iskoristili slabe partije Arsenala i Manchester Cityja, koji je odigrao bez pogodaka protiv Norwcha.
Pogodak za svoj Hull City postigao je hrvatski reprezentativni napadač Nikica Jelavić, i to u 2:0 pobjedi protiv Sunderlanda. Jelavić je utakmicu igrao do sedamdeset i osme minute. Do pobjede je na svom stadionu došao i Crystal Palace, slavivši 3:1 protiv momčadi WBa, koja će u srijedu dočekati Chelsea. Na gostovanju je slavio i West Ham, pobjedom 2:0 kod Aston Ville čiji se crni niz nastavlja iz vikenda u vikend. Bodove su podjelili Southampton i Stoke, odigravši 2:2, iako su domaćini dvaput vodili.
