Chelsea draw with Hull, Liverpool held by Fulham and Villa stay winless

Hull City came close to securing a Premier League victory at Stamford Bridge, only to settle for a 1‑1 draw after conceding an equaliser late in the second half. The hosts, Chelsea, dominated possession but were unable to convert their chances, while Hull’s resilience earned them a valuable point that lifts them a place up the table and narrows the gap to the relegation zone. In other fixtures, Liverpool were held to a goalless stalemate at Anfield, and Fulham likewise finished 0‑0 away, each side missing opportunities to claim all three points. Aston Villa suffered another defeat, losing 2‑0 on the road, extending their winless run and leaving them entrenched in the lower tier of the standings.

The results leave Hull poised to continue their push for safety, while Liverpool and Fulham remain steady but unremarkable in the mid‑table, each having failed to add to their point totals. Villa’s consecutive loss underscores the challenges the club faces as it strives to climb out of the relegation battle. The outcomes will shape the upcoming weekend’s fixtures, with teams looking to capitalize on the shifting dynamics across the league.
