EPL Table: Updated 2015 Standings, Top Scorers After Saturday's Week 11 Results
Reigning Premier League champions Chelsea were dealt a major blow on Saturday after slipping to a 3-1 home defeat against Liverpool, where Philippe Coutinho bagged a brace to kickstart his 2015-16 campaign.
The Brazilian is still a long way from matching the 11 goals that see Leicester City's Jamie Vardy lead the Premier League's top-scorer stakes, however, after he extended his scoring streak at West Bromwich Albion.
Meanwhile, Manchester City retained their place at the Premier League summit with a 2-1 victory over Norwich City, while Arsenal defeated Swansea City 3-0 to stay level with Manuel Pellegrini's side.

Vardy's Run Continues with Mahrez Rising
While the more established elite such as Sergio Aguero and Alexis Sanchez are expected to thrive in the Premier League, watching Vardy's success this season has been a pleasing victory for the underdog.
The Leicester frontman scored in his eighth successive Premier League match on Saturday, per Match of the Day, after his side had fallen 1-0 behind at West Brom before triumphing 3-2 at full time:
The Foxes have become the masters of the comeback this season following revivals against Southampton, Stoke City and Aston Villa, and Vardy has been critical in that regard.
He brought his 2015-16 tally to 11 with a confident finish one-on-one against Boaz Myhill, but as Bet365 illustrated, he's not the only one of Claudio Ranieri's men excelling in front of goal:
Riyad Mahrez has been another reliable figure for the Foxes this season, and the Algeria international was at his most clinical to bag a brace of his own against the Baggies, notching his sixth and seventh goals of the term.
Manchester City and Arsenal won to maintain their respective form at the top of the Premier League standings, but with West Ham United losing at Watford and Manchester United drawing at Crystal Palace, Leicester are on the rise.
Thanks to Mahrez and Vardy's combination, Ranieri's men remain only three points off the summit but are up to third place, somehow keeping up their threat of a Champions League finish.
Speaking of Watford, Hornets hitman Odion Ighalo also continued his prolific spell with a two-goal display against West Ham. BBC reporter John Bennett outlined his importance to the Watford cause:
The Premier League new boys are perhaps becoming slightly over-reliant on Ighalo, and one must wonder where the inspiration will come from if he were to be struck by injury.
However, with seven goals to his name this term, the Nigeria international is now the joint-second-highest scorer in the division, with the "minnows" unafraid to make their presence felt among England's big guns.
