Reigning champions Manchester City and relegation battlers Bournemouth were the others.

We have football left just in Singapore and Belarus and Australia. I think we will have pause here as well. But it is just matter of time. Still while they are playing let's bet on something. These two meet each other last year back I July in League Cup and Tanning Pogar won 4-1. For me that is enough to image that this team can make another surprise.

Arsenal have, however, scored in all but one of their home games this term, and Manchester United have only kept one clean sheet away from home this term.

Time and again the visitors were able to find space, particularly in the channels between each full-back and centre-back, and should have exploited that to a far greater extent than they managed. Only a combination of poor finishing and an excellent display by the two Spurs centre-backs (particularly the impressive Davinson Sanchez) kept the tie alive on a night that still saw the hosts take a lead and an away goal back to Germany.
Ronaldinho returns Ronaldinho’s career at Paraguay outfit Prison FC is over after he paid a £1.

Football can't survive going a year without supporters - this is a problem and a challenge for the game, not just for Luton Town.

Odds are actually no longer all that big on the over 4.5 goals line but still worth taking as the hosts won 7-2 at home with a similar opponent last round Minsk after winning 2-0 away in Belarus the first leg, and they won 2-1 in Akranes the first leg and for sure there is a big difference in terms of quality between the youth system in England and the youth system in Iceland.

It begins a hectic week for the Gunners, who then travel to Standard Liege with Europa League progress still in the balance before hosting Manchester City at the weekend.

Pinpointing the precise moment when it all began to unravel for Manuel Pellegrini at West Ham is fairly easy. Saturday, 28 September. Bournemouth away.
