Arsenal’s winning streak was halted on Thursday as they could only manage a draw against Crystal Palace. Despite not getting the three points, the players showed enough spirit in the game, manager Mikel Arteta told Sky Sports via Goal.
The Gunners came into this game on the back of a four-match winning streak but that came to a halt. Even though they had a lot of attacking talent on the pitch, they could not breach the Palace defence.

As I learned many years ago, at the Sports Journalism Summit II, at the Poynter Institute, when an event is huge, you can write less about it. When the event is smaller, write more. Given the size and scope of Sunday’s Manchester United visit to Liverpool, we can make this write-up very concise.
Both United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp have played down the concept of their sides being leading Premier League title contenders, but really, what else are they supposed to say? It’s their job to shy away from such discussion.

Manchester United are next in action against arch-rival Liverpool on Sunday. It’s a massive top of the table clash with huge Premier League title implications. If that wasn’t enough reason to hype up this match, one that needs no additional hype, we’ve also had a little miniature war of words between the two managers already.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp threw a little shade at United for getting some favorable calls, and United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer returned fire. So with that all said, let’s preview!

English Premier League gave us a huge number of prominent players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, and Luis Suarez. But, as is often the case, many have not been able to be remembered even in spite of a good game on the football field. In this article, we will remember the stars who deserved more during their careers.

Striker Odion Ighalo will see his “dream move” to Manchester United run its course at the end of this month. On loan from Shanghai Shenhua, he was fortunate to get his loan terms extended even this far. Although he is very sparingly used this season, the Nigerian would like to stay put at Old Trafford beyond this month.
However, it’s not very likely for the former Watford man, as the summer window addition of Edinson Cavani has made Ighalo expendable. He needs to think about his other options, and that’s exactly what he’s doing right now.

Chelsea have hit a rough road lately over the span of their last six Premier League fixtures. With a form guide that reads 1W-1D-4L, they fell from 3rd place, just two points off the top of the table pace to now squarely mid-table. Having finished fourth last season, this is very disappointing, to say the least.
As bad as they need a win on Saturday, when they visit Fulham FC, their opponents are probably even more desperate for a victory. The Craven Cottagers, currently residing in the relegation zone, haven’t taken all three points from a league fixture since November.

It’s a London Derby between two teams that badly need a win when Chelsea FC visit Fulham on Saturday. The Blues come in 10 points behind top of the table Manchester United, and to be quite frank, Mr. Lampard doesn’t seem to be managing a title contending team this season.
In fact, Frank Lampard really needs to get his side moving in the right direction, and fast, because in order to reach the top four, they have a handful of teams to surpass.

Tottenham could not hold on to their lead against their London rivals Fulham as Wednesday night’s match ended 1-1. The hosts did not put the game to bed and that came back to cost them two points, which frustrated Spurs manager Jose Mourinho, per the Daily Mail.
Spurs looked like they were heading for another win when Harry Kane gave them the lead. But despite having many chances to build on that, the North Londoners were unable to do so and eventually conceded the equaliser.

Manchester City moved further up the Premier League table today as they notched another win, this time against Brighton & Hove Albion. Phil Foden got the only goal and Pep Guardiola believes the midfielder is potentially deserving of a starting spot, per BT Sport.
The Englishman got his eighth goal of the season, making him City’s top goal scorer. He got the winner thanks to a brilliantly taken goal that left the Brighton defence trailing in his wake.
