Fourteen goals from two games highlight an exciting Champions League day

If you love high scoring contests, you were in for a treat. Defending was optional in Manchester and Leverkusen as 14 goals were scored between two incredible Champions League games.

Both Manchester teams are solidly in the top four hunt after winning Sunday

For the second time in less than a week, both Manchester teams faced a very preferable situation. After seeing how the top four finished the day before, both Manchester City and Manchester United knew that they would be able to gain points on multiple top four teams if either win. After Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool […]

Will Manchester City finish in the top four?

With the new TV rights, which bring impressive amount of money into the club accounts, specially to Premier League clubs, the English championship have become the main attraction for every football fan. The Premier League is considered by many the most balanced championship and perhaps also the strongest, where the difference between the first and […]

Five players Pep Guardiola could sign that would best suit his philosophy

Despite winning his first six league games in charge of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola has not enjoyed his time in England. The Spaniard has struggled to find a rhythm with his new club. This left some to question whether or not he’s as good as advertised, and his previous two super clubs made him look better than […]

Man City and Tottenham both look to strengthen their top four aspirations

Two teams chasing Chelsea, and battling each other for a spot in the top four, collide on Saturday at the Eithad when Tottenham Hotspur visits Manchester City (12:30 p.m. ET, NBC).

Is Pep Guardiola right in conceding the Premier League for Manchester City?

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has admitted that his team are out of the Premier League title race following their heavy 4-0 loss to Everton over the weekend. This loss leaves them 10 points behind league leaders Chelsea, and outside of the top four. With 17 games left in the season, catching up to Chelsea […]

Five predictions for the rest of 2016/17 Premier League season

This Premier League season has already been a bit crazy. With Chelsea going on a 13-game win streak, teams looking like title favorites, only to fall away, and teams that we expected to challenge for Europe (Leicester and West Ham) fighting to avoid relegation. Only a madman would try to predict how the rest of […]

Has Pep Guardiola made soccer boring?

A few weeks ago, after his Manchester City side was thoroughly beaten 4-2 by Leicester City, Pep Guardiola firmly insisted that he is not a fan of tackling. “I am not a coach for the tackles. I do not train the tackles.” Guardiola said at his post match press conference. While the statement is almost […]

Should David Silva’s actions negated Manchester City’s second goal on Arsenal?

Raheem Sterling’s goal in the 71st minute got Manchester City three vital points in a 2-1 win against Arsenal. The legitimacy of this goal has been questioned over and over again this week, and, though it was declared onside during the game as well as in review, the debate still rages on. Check it out below: https://my.mixtape.moe/jdcxnj.mp4 So, […]

Does Liverpool have the best chance to catch Chelsea?

Sadio Mane’s stoppage time goal powered Liverpool to a Merseyside Derby win against Everton Monday, and that result kept the Reds within six points of Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table. In the face of Chelsea’s brilliance this season — and 11 straight wins can hardly be described any other way — […]

Watch: Leroy Sane scores his first Premier League goal to bring City level

Since coming to England during the summer, Leroy Sane hasn’t yet lived up to expectations at Manchester City. The 19-year-old from Essen has been hungry to get his first goal this year. It might have taken longer than he wanted, but early in the second half against Arsenal the former Schalke man opened his account. […]

Watch: Arsenal slice through Manchester City defense like a knife through warm butter

It’s safe to say Manchester City fans are frustrated once again. Sunday’s match with Arsenal had a lot on the line for both teams. Arsenal needed a win to keep any sort of a title race with Chelsea on life support, while City desperately need a win to stay in the top four. Things haven’t […]

Leicester City put up three goals in first 20 minutes against Manchester City

Before Leicester City took on the Sergio Aguero and Fernandinho-less Manchester City in the final match of Saturday’s Premier League action, 28 goals were scored in the five morning contests.

Is the top four beginning to split from the rest of the league?

After only thirteen games, a large gap is beginning to grow between the top four and the rest of the league. Presently, Arsenal and Tottenham, 4th and 5th respectively, are separated by four points. This gives the top four at the very least a four point cushion, which is surprising. Tottenham have been a pretty […]
