It is fun to play out the remainder of the season in this epic title race following Arsenal's come-from-behind 2-1 victory against leaders Leicester City on Sunday, which tightened the Premier League race.

US cereal maker Kellogg's is trying to cash in on the popularity of the Premier League in the United States by launching a new ad campaign. The ad for Frosted Flakes features a father and daughter waking up in the early morning hours to watch a soccer match together on television. While it's not blatantly […]

Why would anyone want to be the manager of Manchester United? A few years ago, if you asked that to a soccer fan, you'd be greeted with a dumbfound stare and probably a quick exit from the conversation.
