Midweek Premier League Matchday 21 did not just serve up routine fixtures; it delivered a festival of battles that cut right across the title race, top‑four chase, and relegation fight. Across England, 90‑minute wars of attrition unfolded under the floodlights, with emotions, tactics, and momentum all colliding in one brutally compressed round. Below is a long‑form, original blog‑style breakdown of the biggest battles of Matchday 21, written so you can publish it as a stand‑alone piece. A Midweek Built for Drama Matchday 21 of the 2025–26 Premier League season dropped between 6 and 8 January, a period when squads are stretched and every point feels heavier than usual. It was a midweek that asked harsh questions of rotations, mental strength, and tactical adaptability. The card was loaded: A relegation six‑pointer at the London Stadium between West Ham and Nottingham Forest. A high‑stakes Bournemouth v Tottenham clash with implications for Europe and survival. A looming headline title...
Chelsea will once more be thrilled to have the legendary Cole Palmer on their team.
Additionally, Manchester City will be miffed at themselves for letting him go after their Saturday draw with Newcastle.
The Englishman is pulling strings at Stamford Bridge against Brighton to help spark a comeback, just as he has done the entire season.Palmer eventually found his touch with a magnificent hat-trick within ten minutes of hitting the post early in the first half and having a goal disallowed for offside.
After making a last-ditch dash into the area and smashing the ball into an empty net, the 22-year-old earned a penalty and completed a first-half hat-trick with a stunning left-footed free shot from 25 yards out.
He now has the joint most hat-tricks in the Premier League of any Chelsea player with three. Then he made one better move.
Palmer scored an incredible fourth goal in the first half, finishing at the near post after starting inside the penalty box. He is the first Premier League player to accomplish this goal in history.
Palmer has contributed to more goals than he has made appearances for the Blues in the English premier league, which only helps matters more.
