  Matchday 7 Analysis: Which Teams Dominate and Who's Playing Catch-Up Which teams have held a winning position the longest in the Premier League this season, and who has spent the most time trailing? We analyze every team's time spent in each game state across 2025-26 after seven matchdays. MANCHESTER CITY: MASTERS OF THE LEAD Manchester City might not be top of the league during the October international break, but they've been the most prolific team in terms of holding a lead in the Premier League this season. Pep Guardiola's side have been leading for 423 minutes and 15 seconds in Premier League matches this term – a massive 119 minutes and four seconds longer than any other side. They've been in the lead across 60% of their total minutes in the competition in 2025-26, helped by the fact they have scored inside the opening 20 minutes in four of their seven games. One notable example came against Arsenal on 21 September, when Erling Haaland put them into a ...

  October 2, 2025 This weekend delivered a remarkable spectacle in the Premier League, featuring an unprecedented number of late goals and Arsenal's continued dominance from set pieces. As Liverpool, Napoli, and Real Madrid all saw their perfect league records crumble, the drama in England's top flight reached fever pitch with eight stoppage-time goals across Matchday 6. The Late, Late Show: A Weekend of Drama As Lenny Kravitz famously sang, "it ain't over 'til it's over" - a sentiment that perfectly captured this weekend's Premier League action. Liverpool discovered this the hard way at Selhurst Park. After scoring 90th-minute goals in three of their first four league games, the Reds were on the receiving end when Eddie Nketiah struck a dramatic 97th-minute winner for Crystal Palace, handing Liverpool their first defeat of the season. The theme was established early in the weekend when Brentford's Mathias Jensen sealed a 3-1 home victory ove...

  Sunday, September 22, 2025 Emirates Stadium will host one of the most anticipated Premier League matches of the season when Arsenal welcome Manchester City. Mikel Arteta has the opportunity to achieve what seemed unthinkable during his time as Guardiola's assistant - a third consecutive home victory over his former mentor. Arteta's Tactical Evolution Since taking charge at Arsenal, Mikel Arteta has transformed into a world-class manager. His tactical approach has evolved significantly from his early days, particularly in matches against his former club Manchester City. The Spaniard's recent success against Guardiola stems from understanding City's patterns and exploiting specific weaknesses. Arsenal's solid defensive structure combined with lightning-quick transitions has proven effective against City's possession-based approach. Arteta has successfully adapted many principles learned from Guardiola while developing his own identity. The student-teacher ...

  Sunday, September 22, 2025 The Stadium of Light will host a clash between a confident newcomer and a team in crisis. Sunderland can achieve a historic series of three home wins, while Aston Villa desperately seeks their first points and goals of the season under pressure on Unai Emery. Villa's Goalless Crisis Aston Villa faces the worst offensive crisis in recent history - they haven't scored or earned a point in the Premier League yet. They risk becoming only the third team in top-flight history to fail to score in their first five league games after Ipswich Town (1970-71) and Crystal Palace (2017-18). The current series of five league games without a goal is the second-longest in club history - only a six-game streak between December 2014 and February 2015 was longer. Harvey Elliott finally broke the goal drought in the EFL Cup against Brentford in a 1-1 draw. Villa's expected goals of 3.07 are second-worst in the league behind Wolves (2.63), revealing systemic pr...

  Saturday, September 21, 2025 Tottenham travels to the AMEX Stadium aiming to maintain positive momentum under new management from Thomas Frank. Brighton presents a challenging test after their double victory over Spurs last season and with the advantage of better rest before this key encounter. Frank's Tottenham Transformation Thomas Frank has achieved a significant change in Spurs' approach during his brief tenure. Four wins from five matches with just one goal conceded suggests a marked shift from the Ange Postecoglou era. The team appears more cohesive in defense than attack, which Frank himself confirmed after Wednesday's victory over Villarreal in the Champions League. "Very happy with the win, very happy with three points, very happy with the clean sheet, very happy with how we defended throughout the game. We gave very little away," Frank stated. He simultaneously admitted the offensive side wasn't as fluid. Spurs haven't won three consecuti...

United po porážce 0-3 s City hledá odpověď na rostoucí kritiku, zatímco Blues využívají návratu Colea Palmera. Amorim's Challenges at United Manchester United is experiencing a turbulent season start with two defeats from four Premier League matches and elimination from the EFL Cup by Grimsby Town. The only victory came at home against Burnley, even then requiring a last-minute Bruno Fernandes penalty for a 3-2 win. The 0-3 defeat to Manchester City revealed structural problems in Amorim's system. Since Matchday 12 of last season when he took over the team, no Premier League team has achieved worse results than United (31 points from 31 games, -13 goal difference). The Opta supercomputer estimates Un...
