Chelsea and Arsenal are still in step after the 11th round of the English Premier League. The two teams drew 1-1 in the London derby at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and have 19 points. The “Blues” are third immediately ahead of the “Gunners”, nine points behind leader Liverpool. First Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli scored (60′), then Pedro Neto equalized (70′).
Manchester United gave Ruud van Nistelrooy a nice finish as interim coach. United won the home game against Leicester City 3-0 thanks to goals from captain Bruno Fernandes (17th), Victor Kristiansen (38th/own goal) and Alejandro Garnacho (82nd).

**Interview with Football Analyst Emily Carter on the Latest Premier League Round**
**Interviewer**: Emily, it was another thrilling week in the Premier League, especially with the Chelsea-Arsenal derby ending in a 1-1 draw. Both teams now sit on 19 points, trailing behind Liverpool. How do you assess their performances in this match?
**Emily Carter**: The match was a fascinating contest that highlighted both teams’ strengths and weaknesses. Chelsea started strong but seemed to lack the cutting edge in front of goal, while Arsenal displayed resilience. The draw keeps both teams in a competitive spot, but their inconsistency this season raises questions about their title ambitions.
**Interviewer**: Moving to Manchester United, under interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, they secured a convincing 3-0 win against Leicester. Do you think this win can bolster their confidence ahead of the transition to Ruben Amorim?
**Emily Carter**: Absolutely. Van Nistelrooy’s success in his short tenure creates a solid foundation for Amorim. Winning breeds confidence, and the players have shown they can perform at a high level. However, they’ll need to maintain that momentum to avoid the pitfalls often associated with managerial changes.
**Interviewer**: Ipswich Town finally celebrated their first victory of the season against Tottenham, allowing them to escape the relegation zone. What do you believe are their chances of surviving relegation now?
**Emily Carter**: That win is a significant boost for Ipswich. Momentum is crucial in this league, and if they can build on this victory, they might just have what it takes to climb further up the table. But they will need to be consistent, especially with the pressures of relegation looming.
**Interviewer**: With Crystal Palace slipping into the relegation zone following a defeat to Fulham, do you think Oliver Glasner can turn their fortunes around?
**Emily Carter**: Glasner is known for his tactical acumen, but he faces a daunting task. The team’s mental state after such defeats can be fragile, and he’ll need to instill belief and resilience. It’s all about how quickly he can implement his ideas and get results to lift the club out of danger.
**Interviewer**: Lastly, with the current standings and performances from these teams, how do you foresee the remainder of the season playing out? Will Chelsea and Arsenal maintain their chase for the top, and can teams like Ipswich and Crystal Palace stave off relegation?
**Emily Carter**: The race for the title is heating up, and if Chelsea and Arsenal can find consistency, they might challenge Liverpool. On the other hand, relegation battles are unpredictable; Ipswich’s win could spark a turnaround, but Palace’s struggles indicate they need an immediate response. It all sets the stage for an exciting second half of the season.
**Interviewer**: Great insights, Emily! Now, to our readers: with Chelsea and Arsenal both fighting for top positions and teams like Ipswich and Crystal Palace facing relegation threats, who do you think will come out on top by the end of the season? Share your thoughts and predictions!
