    Making the most of bad performances is an Alex Ferguson and Manchester United specialty, and although he does have plenty to be worried about regarding the performances of his team so far, knowing he has someone like Robin van Persie to save them on bad days must be reassuring.

  • Liverpool FC – Brendan Rodgers Still Waiting for First Win

    The great optimism from their first match at Anfield turned into something completely different after the 0-2 home defeat against Arsenal.

  • Arsenal FC – Happy with Podolski, Worried About Giroud

    Not what Arsene Wenger dreams of, but three matches into the Premier League season, Arsenal are undefeated, with 5 points, and have yet to concede a single goal.

  • Manchester City – Carlos Tevez Sets the Tone

    The champions, for the second consecutive home match, failed to put away a much weaker team.

  • Premier League – Liverpool vs Arsenal Predictions

    Two matches into the season, Liverpool have yet to win, although last week’s 2-2 draw with the champions left many optimistic about what the club can do this season.
