Yet another infuriatingly timed international break is now upon us, as domestic action in Europe’s top leagues is put on pause for the return of the UEFA Nations League.  The top-flight signed off for its brief sabbatical in style this weekend, though, treating us all to another action-packed weekend of exhilarating action – but who…

We are now a quarter of the way through the season and so far it has not failed to live up to the hype and anticipation felt throughout the campaign’s build-up in the summer.   Arsenal and Liverpool’s potentially title-deciding clash on Sunday was the headline act to another sensationally exciting weekend in the English top-flight,…

This season’s Premier League campaign has begun in scintillating fashion, with thrills and spills galore as the fight for the title, top-four and relegation looks wide open following eight games.  One of the most interesting aspects of this campaign, albeit only a couple of months old, is how many teams are turning games around by…

While it was nice to witness England return to winning ways over the weekend with a convincing 3-1 win against Finland following Thursday’s disasterclass against Greece, I’m sure we are all in agreement that the Premier League’s return this weekend can’t come soon enough.

It is a derby not based on history or geographical location but recent manifestation. One which has served up some brilliant games over the past few seasons, and some equally drab ones. Fortunately for us, Sunday’s Clash of the Titans blockbuster between Manchester City and Arsenal – the only two teams who have looked capable…

Arsenal maintained pace on leaders Manchester City with a 1-0 win over rivals Tottenham in the north London derby on Sunday afternoon, keeping the gap between the top two to just two points with four games played after City came from a goal behind to defeat Brentford 2-1 at the Etihad.  In a match which…

Everton’s early season woes continued on Saturday when a seemingly impossible-to-lose lead turned into last minute heartbreak, as Bournemouth came from two goals behind to defeat the Toffees 3-2 at Goodison Park.  It leaves the Blues pointless after their opening three league matches, having lost 3-0 to Brighton on the opening day before falling to…
