Strength To Strength

An early own goal by Wolverhampton got Arsenal on its way and the Gunners didn't look back, eventually winning 4-1. Arsenal's recent good run of form led coach Arsene Wenger to comment that his side is "going from strength to strength," despite the injury to Abou Diaby.

City Drop Points

Manchester City had a golden chance to earn all three points at home to newly promoted Burnley. But Burnley had other plans and a six goal thriller ensued with the away side claiming a late goal to earn their first road point of the season and keeping City in search of their top form.

Table Topping Clash

The top two teams in the English table clash on Sunday when Chelsea and Manchester United square off. Games between these two sides have had title implications every time they've met in recent years and this weekend's clash should be no different.

TFE: The Big One

It's one of the most anticipated fixtures of the year and, according to Goal.com's Shane Evans, it usually disappoints. Will this year be the same? It remains to be seen as we have to wait until Sunday for Chelsea-ManU. Also on the docket: Darren Bent's return to White Hart Lane.

Red In Rome

Fulham and Clint Dempsey were left wondering what might have been after seeing a red card for Erik Nevland spark a Roma fightback in their Europa League Group H clash in the Italian capital. Goals from John Arne Riise and Chuka Okaka gave victory to the home side.

Howard Hails Benfica

Benfica slid two past United States international Tim Howard in the second half as the Portuguese side dispatched Everton in the Europa League. The goalkeeper called Benfica "Champions League quality" after the match and admitted that his club has a tall order to qualify for the next round.

Goodison Glue

Everton coach David Moyes has stated that his team will need to feed off the 'roar' of the Goodison Park crowd against Benfica in Europa League action today. Beaten handily by the Portuguese club 5-0 in their last continental match, a result in this one is vital for the Toffees hopes of advancing.
