Ahead of the midweek League Cup programme, Premier league sides had a quieter weekend in comparison with recent weeks with only one team reaching a trio of goals while five sides kept a clean sheet.
West Ham moved into the top four with a superb 2-1 win at home to Manchester City with the hosts taking a 21st minute lead through Morgan Amalfitano as they looked to continue a fine start to the season. City fell further behind in the 75th minute when Diafra Sakho extended his stellar scoring spree with the Hammers second but City fought back with a 77th minute strike from David Silva but were unable to level as West Ham sealed a famous victory.
Liverpool and Hull shared the points in a 0-0 draw that ended Liverpool's 48 game streak without a goalless draw which was the longest in the league but both sides had good chances in both halves to break the deadlock with Jake Livermore's 45th minute deflected shot the best chance for the visitors after Dejan Lovren had an eighth minute header cleared of the line for the hosts.
Southampton continued their stunning start to the season by moving up to second after a 1-0 win at home to Stoke with Sadio Mane striking the crucial winning goal in the 33rd minute which left the visitors just three points outside of the bottom three.
Sunderland continued their poor run of form with a 2-0 defeat at home to Arsenal with the Gunners taking a 30th minute lead through Alexis Sanchez before the Chilean added a second in the final minute to seal all three points.
West Brom salvaged a point in a four goal thriller at home to Crystal Palace as they came from 2-0 down to 2-2 with the Eagles taking a 16th minute lead through Brede Hangeland before Mile Jedinak converted a 45th minute penalty for 2-0. The Baggies reduced the deficit in the 51st minute through Victor Anichebe and sealed a point late on when Saido Berahino converted a 90th minute penalty.
Swansea closed up on the top four with a 2-0 win at home to Leicester in the evening game on Saturday with Wilfried Bony giving the hosts the lead in the 34th minute before doubling the tally in the 57th minute to seal all three points.
Everton moved into the top half after a comfortable 3-1 win away to Burnley with Samuel Eto'o putting the Toffees ahead after only four minutes before Danny Ings equalised for the Clarets in the 20th minute. Everton regained the lead through Romelu Lukaku in the 29th minute before the win was sealed in the 85th minute as Samuel Eto'o struck a superb third that nestled in the top corner.
Newcastle moved out of the bottom three with a 2-1 win away to Tottenham but the Magpies had to come from behind after Emmanuel Adebayor had put the hosts in front in the 18th minute before Sammy Ameobi levelled just seven seconds into the second half. Newcastle completed the comeback in the 58th minute when Ayoze Perez put them in front with a strike that proved to be good enough for all three points.
Chelsea missed the chance to six points clear at the top as they suffered a late blow away to Manchester United, The blues took a 53rd minute lead through Didier Drogba and looked to be on the way to all three points until Branislav Ivanovic was dismissed in injury time for a second booking and from the resulting set piece, Robin Van Persie salvaged a point for the hosts.
The final game of the weekend saw QPR seal a 2-0 win at home to Aston Villa with Charlie Austin giving the hosts a 17th minute lead before sealing the win with a second strike in the 69th minute which
