ENGLAND
Chelsea’s two forwards, Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner, may be injured, but that doesn’t stop the Blues from being a well-oiled offensive machine.
The last of the Premier League, Norwich, paid the price on Saturday for the 9th day, with a memorable drop (7-0) which pushes it a little far into the depths of the standings (no victory).
Three days after a demonstration in the Champions League (5-0 against Malmö), Chelsea relied in particular on Mason Mount, author of a hat-trick, to consolidate his leadership position while awaiting the clash between Liverpool and Manchester United on Sunday .
At the end of the day, Manchester City had no trouble beating the surprise Brighton (4th). Winners 4-1, the Citizens were never worried and Foden scored a double to install his people on the second step of the podium.

GERMANY
Imperial in Europe … and in Germany too! Like Benfica on Wednesday (4-0), Hoffenheim was no match for Bayern Munich (4-0) on Saturday, for the 9th day of the Bundesliga.
Thanks to goals from Kingsley Coman, Robert Lewandowski (his 10th in the league, already …), Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Serge Gnabry, the Munich residents are consolidating their position as leader of the championship.
