U susretima devetoga kola Premiershipa Arsenal je na svom Emiratesu jedva slavio protiv QPR-a s 1:0, dok su u najatraktivnijoj utakmici dana Reading i Fulham odigrali 3:3
Arsenal se dugo mučio s Rangersima sve dok u 80. minuti nije isključen igrač gostiju M’bia, a četiri minute kasnije Arteta je zabio pobjedniočki zgoditak. Reading i Fulham su završili sjajnu utakmicu s rezultatom 3:3 u meču punom preokreta, a kod gostiju Mladen Petrić nije ulazio u igru. Wigan je slavio protiv West Hama, Aston Villa i Norwich su podijelili bodove (1:1), kao i Sunderland i Stoke City (0:0).
Manchester City je na svom stadionu slavio protiv Swansea s 1:0 pogotkom Carlosa Teveza u 61. minuti.
Zbog nekoliko ozljeda ovaj dvoboj je imao čak 12 minuta sudačke nadoknade, a gosti su promašili niz izglednih prilika za iznenađenje. Manchester City je drugi s 21 bodom, jednim manje od vodećeg Chelseaja.
