The home factor prevails in the two postponements of the 24th day of the Premier League.
Manchester United clearly beat Leicester 3-0, thanks to goals from Rashford (brace) and Sancho, while at Antonio Conte's Tottenham (replaced on the bench by Cristian Stellini) goals from Emerson and Son were enough to beat the West Ham United (2-0), in one of the many London derbies.
In the standings the 'Red devils' are third with 49 points, -3 from Manchester City and -5 from the top occupied by Arsenal;
the 'Spurs', on the other hand, rise to fourth place, with 42 lengths and a +1 over Newcastle United.
Arsenal regained top spot in the Premier League by winning at Aston Villa (4-2, after coming from behind twice), while Manchester City were held 1-1 by Nottingham Forest.
With 54 points the Gunners lead the standings and react to the home knockout with the Citizens (52).
Bad Chelsea, beaten at home (1-0) by Southampton, last.
A direct free kick from James Ward-Prowse in first-half stoppage time was enough to decide the fate of the match.
Graham Potter's constant line-up changes - six players on the pitch today were not in the starting line-up in Wednesday's 0-1 defeat by Borussia Dortmund - are not helping the side to find their own identity.
The Blues are tenth with 31 points.
