Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City all lost this past weekend a striking coincidence, marking the first time all three have been beaten in the same Premier League game week since December 2015.
Liverpool’s title defends wobbled further as they fell 3–2 at Brentford which extended their losing streak in the league.
Meanwhile, Chelsea was stunned by Sunderland of a last-gasp winner as its added another blow to their campaign.
At the same time, Manchester City’s dependance on key players was exposed after a rare defeat that underlined cracks in their armor.
This statistical anomaly hasn’t occurred in nearly a decade since the last time being on the weekend of 5–6 December 2015, when all three powerhouses similarly floundered.
Leicester City went on to win the league in the header-making 2015–16 campaign, a season of major surprises.
The collapse of these giants on a single matchday sent a shock waves through the title race as its hints at a more unpredictable season than many anticipated.
Their combined stumble also raises questions around squad depth, managerial strategies, and mental resilience at the top level.
If these defeats become a pattern rather than a blip, it might herald a major shift in the Premier League’s power dynamics.
