Did your team live up to expectations? Phil Thompson gives his verdict on the midweek Premier League games.
We asked Liverpool legend and Sky Sports Now guest Thompson to grade each side based on their performance in the Premier League fixtures this week.
So how did your team fare? Did they get an 'A' or an 'F', or somewhere in between? Read on to see how each top-flight side has been ranked...
Bournemouth - B
Bournemouth were very good on the day. They totally dominated the game (against Southampton) and although they don't like calling it a derby, most people would see it as a south coast derby. They enjoyed most of the possession and chances.
Chelsea - B
When Chelsea went 2-0 up I thought it could be another game where Norwich would fall aside defensively. In fairness [to Norwich] it should never have been a second goal for Chelsea. How the assistant didn't give [Diego] Costa offside is incredible.
Liverpool - B
I expected this result - when you get back-to-back games against the same side - and you play them again a few days later, whoever wins the first match usually loses the second and that's what's happened after the Capital One Cup final on Sunday which could have gone either way. Jurgen Klopp made the most changes so you can argue they had the fresher legs, but Liverpool thoroughly deserved the victory on the night.
Swansea - B
As the game wore on against Arsenal they got better and they made six changes to save players for the game against Norwich on Saturday. It seems as if the players that came in wanted to say 'I'm good enough to actually start games'. [Andre] Ayew was back to his best, [Bafetimbi] Gomis was better in the second half. I thought Jack Cork was fantastic in midfield and [Jordi] Amat and [Ashley] Williams were superb in central defence.
West Ham - B
The Hammers maybe should have won this game by more goals. They've shown all season that they can beat the big boys and proved it once again at the Boleyn Ground. Michail Antonio has not deserved the praise he should do in this side. He couldn't get in the side for the first few months but now he's been absolutely terrific. He's also been a scorer of vital goals. I think this West Ham team are capable of beating all the bigger clubs.
Crystal Palace - C
Palace are in a difficult moment although it's good to have [Yannick] Bolasie back, but he needs to get his fitness levels back, and [Connor] Wickham - scoring four in two games is a major plus point.
Everton - C
They've been on a bit of a run. I think they've only lost one away game all season and they've had a bit of good news with the investment into the club. Everybody seems to have perked up. They're on a good period at the moment and when they get like this [against Aston Villa] they're a very difficult team to beat.
Leicester - C
It's been a fantastic story. They should have won the game, but West Brom had four central defenders across the backline and made it very difficult. It was a siege at 2-2 in the last 10 minutes. They had great chances when Wes Morgan's point-blank shot was saved by [Ben] Foster. Leicester can count themselves very unlucky.
Manchester United - C
They probably would have taken a draw but Louis van Gaal's team seems to be riding their luck and coming through games at the moment.
Stoke - C
It was great to see [Xherdan] Shaqiri score with a fantastic strike. He's produced the goods and has been a very, very good signing for them.
Sunderland - C
They're upward bound and [Fabio] Borini's late goal felt like a win because it's maintaining the confidence in that Sunderland side.
Watford - C
Watford had all the chances in this game. It was chance after chance. David de Gea was making all the saves. They should probably had got more out of the game, but didn't.
West Brom - C
Salomon Rondon gets the early goal to change things at Leicester and West Brom showed they are made of sterner stuff. They were absolutely fantastic and scored through a great free-kick from Craig Gardner. West Brom, as they do, defended very well.
Arsenal - D
After the first 20 minutes when Arsenal could have been a couple of goals ahead, they scored through Joel Campbell, but it started a downward spiral when [Wayne] Routledge scored against the run of play. Then, in the second half, I just do not know what happened to Arsenal. The passing was dreadful and the players seemed to lack confidence. The booing when Arsene Wenger took Campbell off and brought Danny Welbeck on was astonishing.
Norwich - D
You've seen Norwich fall apart, like against Liverpool when they were 3-1 ahead and against West Ham when they were 2-0 ahead at Carrow Road and then just fell apart. They've been poor and they've been on a downward spiral. They need all the help they can get and if they keep getting decisions like that [Diego Costa] going against you, particularly at home as well, then you're in trouble.
Southampton - D
They have been in a decent bit of form. They flip between being absolutely fantastic and a team that can't get a result from anywhere, but this was a dreadful performance by them. Ronald Koeman must have been wondering what the heck happened to his side.
Tottenham - D
As soon as they suffer a defeat, like against West Ham, everybody will now say they're tired, there's fatigue, they're playing too many games, but I don't believe that.
Newcastle - E
Newcastle away from home are absolutely abysmal. Their performance away from home was so poor.
Manchester City - E
You can imagine City would have been celebrating after their Capital Cup win - it certainly looked like it.
Aston Villa - F
It was the result everyone was expecting. Out the door in 74 was the big talking point before the game with all the Villa fans heading out. I was surprised they didn't walk out after four minutes because they capitulated. The only joy they got was a Rudy Gestede late goal, but it was another dreadful performance and even playing with three centre-backs, they were all over the place. Defensively this season, Villa have been atrocious.
