‘There’s a new chapter to write’: Le Bris upbeat as Sunderland eye Coventry reunion

Chelsea’s fine finishing has them flying high – but how long can it last?

Despite being at opposite ends of the table, according to Opta’s expected points model, Chelsea have performed worse than Saturday’s opponents Manchester United Michael Carrick will arrive at Stamford Bridge on Saturday with the air of a dead man walking.

Tottenham’s season has finally taken off. How far up the table can they go?

Spurs had an awful start but, after an impressive win at Chelsea, they are suddenly looking up at the table By Opta Analyst In reality, it was only three points. All Tottenham took from their 2-0 win at Chelsea last Saturday evening was a helpful boost in the Premier League standings. But it feels far more significant than that. This is a fixture Tottenham almost never win. In their 34 previous visits to Chelsea in the Premier League, they had won only once. It was their first win to nil at Stam

Bournemouth’s transfer nous puts United to shame, Araújo is winning admirers at Anfield and Suzuki adapts swiftly at Villa The three Bournemouth goalscorers cost a combined £85m, joining from Vasco da Gama, Middlesbrough, and Porto. The Cherries are smart at investing, far more so than Manchester United, who have wasted a lot of money by failing to look outside the box for players like Rayan, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson.

Roefs and Trafford stand firm as Sunderland and Leeds battle for point

Régis Le Bris can usually do impassive to perfection but, by the final whistle, even Sunderland’s ultra-balanced manager was looking more than a little fed up and frustrated.

Sage’s side beaten 2-0 at home by Newcastle ‘Every mistake that is bad will be a goal’ Pierre Sage blamed a 15-minute loss of concentration for Crystal Palace’s 2-0 defeat by Newcastle and insisted he remains the right man to lead the south London club. “We missed 15 minutes when we came back from the dressing room,” the Frenchman said. “When you let your opponent take the initiative without pressure, without reply, it’s difficult.” Palace have conceded 19 goals in eight games and have the wor

Fernandes gamble leaves Carrick to carry the can for United’s institutional failures | Will Unwin

Leaving out his captain was doomed to fail but so are the club under the current leadership and the fans at Old Trafford know that all too well Dropping your captain, who has held the team together for most of the past five years, is a bold move from a man whose job is on the line. It was very much a make-or-break decision from Michael Carrick to leave out Bruno Fernandes against Bournemouth.
