With that win, Manchester City are back. They now lead the table with 32 points from 16 matches. Leciester City will have their chance to wrest back the lead when they play 
defending champions Chelsea Tuesday early morning. Manchester United play Bournemouth later tonight, while third place Arsenal will play Aston Villa with a chance to reclaim the top spot, if the Foxes failed to beat Jose Mourinho's men.
