What this result changed
Standings entering Sep 20, Korea time (results through the previous day), plus this game only. Other games played on Sep 20 (Korea time) are not included.
This game alone
With this result no club clinched or was eliminated, and no position or possible finish changed. Clinch and elimination numbers moved only where they are still far off (left out of this list — see the note below). Both clubs' changes are in the table below.
Before → with this result only
| Manchester City | Sunderland | |

| Position | #1 | #14 |
| Points | 12→ | 4 |
| Record | 4-0-0→ | 1-1-2→ |

| UCL clinch pts | 97→ | - |
| Out of UCL race in | - | 33→ |
| Safety clinch pts | 92→ | 100→ |
“-” means there is no such number: for a clinch, the club can't clinch on its own (it needs other results); for an elimination, losing every remaining game still wouldn't settle it.
After all games on Sep 20 (Korea time)
Standings entering Sep 20, Korea time (results through the previous day), plus the 4 games finished on Sep 20. Clinches and eliminations that took more than one of those results show up only here.

Games counted that day:
- Manchester City 5-3 Sunderland
- Nottingham Forest 0-1 Coventry City
- Leeds United 0-0 Crystal Palace
- Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool
In races with more than 8 games left, countdown changes that stay far off (a clinch needing more than two-thirds of the points left, or an elimination more than half the games left away) are left out of this list. Clinches and eliminations are always listed, and both clubs' numbers are all in the two-club table.
