Two of the top three teams in the Premier League table will clash on Sunday when Manchester United come to London to face Arsenal. You won't want to miss it, and if you check out the EPL Talk TV schedule, you won't. It's a huge match for both clubs, but hardly the only one as […]

Landon Donovan’s spectacular first goal for Everton, yesterday confirmed what those of us in the United States already knew: Donovan is a world class player who is one of the top international footballers around.
