Premier League Table 2013 Week 14: Updated Standings Following Matchday 13

While Arsenal will remain atop the Premier League table no matter what transpires during Matchday 13, there is plenty of room for movement in the standings, with several key matches highlighting an exciting week of action.

The biggest match of the weekend will of course be Tottenham hosting Manchester United on Sunday, though Swansea City hosting Manchester City later in the day could be a goal-a-palooza and Chelsea hosting Southampton should be a tight and compact affair in which the first defensive lapse will be costly.

And while Arsenal (at Cardiff City), Everton (hosting Stoke City) and Liverpool (at Hull City) all have favorable matchups, we've seen heavy favorites fall hard already this season. If woeful Sunderland can beat Man City, well, anything can happen.

Below, you'll find an updated table after each round of games this weekend and a recap of all the Premier League action. If there is movement in the Premier League standings, you'll find it here.

Analysis

The Gunners ensured they will remain at least four points clear of the pack with a convincing 3-0 win over Cardiff City, highlighted by Aaron Ramsey's two goals against his former team.

Here's his first goal after an absolutely brilliant pass from Mesut Ozil.

Ramsey now has 13 goals and five assists in all competitions for Arsenal, a shocking mark for the midfielder. Few players in Europe are hotter at the moment.

The win was an important one for Arsenal, as after Wednesday's match against Hull City, the team has a brutal stretch of Premier League play that includes games against Everton, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Any buffer on the table heading into those games will be crucial, and they should go a long way toward offering a clearer picture of the title race.

Everton was the other big winner in the early games on Saturday, as Gerard Deulofeu, Seamus Coleman, Bryan Oviedo and Romelu Lukaku all found the net. It is going to be very hard for Everton to get rid of players like Lukaku and Deulofeu after the season, as both are on loan.

Other winners on Saturday included Norwich City and West Ham, while Aston Villa drew against Sunderland.

Sunday opened with a cracker of a match, as Manchester United and Tottenham played to a 2-2 draw. Kyle Walker was both the hero and goat early on, as he scored the game's first goal on a free kick that skittered below the wall but then set up Wayne Rooney for the equalizer after his attempted clearance instead found the striker in the box for an easy deflection.

Sandro gave Spurs the lead again in the second-half with a brilliant strike from distance, but Rooney again equalized, this time from the spot, after Hugo Lloris fouled Danny Welbeck in the box as he attempted to dive and punch the ball free but instead clipped the forward's heels after Welbeck got the first touch on the ball.

Hull City shocked Liverpool, 3-1, as the Reds struggled without Daniel Sturridge or Philippe Coutinho and thus dropped down the table, while Manchester City easily disposed of Swansea, winning 3-0.

Despite losing Oscar to injury during the first half, Chelsea topped Southampton with three goals in the second half. Jay Rodriguez scored a goal during the opening minute, but Chelsea fought back to maintain sole possession of second place.
