Leeds United and Everton have taken advantage of others' weariness.
Their unheralded wins against Fulham and Aston Villa respectively were huge.
Everton's win just about guarantees them safety from the drop now and I reckon they will pick up a few more wins with Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gueye heading back from Afcon.
Leeds are edging ever closer to safety too, Daniel Farke knows this was one of the most important wins of the season, even if it wasn't a headline grabber.
His side is now a well-structured Premier League outfit who look like they belong back in the big time instead of just being fleeting visitors.
