I always enjoy watching a match on television from Carrow Road. The quaint ground, good footballing side and colorful supporters are a refreshing sight to see in the Premier League. And today, they come up against the dark force of Sunderland, a team that is mired in negativity and as predictable as a Manchester United […]

Here are tonight's Premier League news headlines: Benitez admits he is 'not 100 per cent' sure he will last the whole season at Chelsea — The Mirror Andy Carroll out injured for two months at West Ham — The Mail Gareth Bale facing up to two weeks out — BBC Sport Manchester United's Anderson 'out for a […]

It was a return to the Home Depot Center for the 2012 MLS Cup final as we saw the same two sides face each other. But this time the Houston Dynamo had their all their top players healthy and ready to go for another attempt at a third trophy. For the Los Angeles Galaxy this […]

Twenty two goals in eight Premier League matches is a decent return for a Premier League Saturday especially given the number of surprise results and end-to-end-action. Here are the video highlights from today's matches (for US readers only). West Ham United vs Chelsea Video: West Ham v Chelsea Premier League Highlights 12/01/12 Manchester City vs […]

There's still a long way to go this season, but like I've been saying before the season started, this season will be the most competitive Premier League season in a very long time. The talent from top to bottom in the league is closer than ever before. Clubs in the bottom half are stronger and […]

What could be worse than West Ham United versus Chelsea? Perhaps QPR against Chelsea? Lazy jibes aside, let's hope that the early kick-off between West Ham United and Chelsea is far more entertaining to watch than I fear. In the six matches kicking off at 10am ET/7am PT/3pm UK time, it's going to be hard […]

I almost fell out of my chair today when I read that Harry Redknapp said he may not spend in the January transfer window if QPR's survival hopes look doomed. Trust me, even though Redknapp said these words, this sounds like something straight out of the mouth of QPR owner Tony Fernandes. Not spending money […]

We're nearly through MLS Cup Week (though it's two weeks really, something that seems overkill after banging out two-pers for the early rounds). It's a deja vu kind of MLS Cup: the same combatants as 2011. Los Angeles and Houston, and the same venue, the Home Depot Center. It's a dream matchup for Major League […]

You may have missed the news, but recently talkSPORT this season has been broadcasting live commentaries of every single Premier League match to listeners outside Europe. talkSPORT has aggressively expanded their coverage.

After a three month absence due to injury, Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva returns to Liverpool's squad for this weekend's match against Southampton. Anyone who watched the documentary Being Liverpool should feel a pinch of affection for Leiva, as he raced back to full recovery only to limp off in a match early in the season. The footballer […]

For a change, our lead story in tonight's Nightly EPL column is a feel-good story about soccer fans from around the world, including two Premier League footballers, who went on a mission to save Spanish club Real Oviedo from going out of existence. It's a wonderful story by Sid Lowe that's certainly worth reading. Here […]

With Swansea's impressive 3-1 victory Wednesday night against West Bromwich Albion, in a game where the Swans completely outplayed the Baggies, especially in the first half, Michael Laudrup's side has now reached 20 points — halfway to Laudrup's goal of getting 40 points to ensure another season in the Premier League. With only 14 matches […]

I am the first to admit that comparative tables prove absolutely nothing when it comes to the EPL, but that doesn’t stop me from creating them and pondering over the results. After Wednesday’s matches, it occurred to me to take a look at last season at this time, 14 matches in. The table below shows […]
