Well, it’s been a busy last few weeks for me, so I missed a week. The week before last didn’t produce nearly as much excitement as last week. There were certainly some interesting results, with both Arsenal and Liverpool seeing their unbeaten streaks crash and burn: Arsenal losing to erratic Middlesbrough and Liverpool losing to bottom dwellers Reading. It really is beginning to look more and more like Liverpool have packed up their league ambitions and are setting their sights solely on the Champions League.
The other top clubs: Manchester United squashed helpless Derby, Chelsea eased past Sunderland and Manchester City lost at the death to Tottenham—perhaps Spurs will find their way out of the cellar before Christmas, they really are a better team than what they’ve shown so far this season.
Sunday will be an exciting day, with Manchester United traveling to Anfield to take on arch-rivals Liverpool. Perhaps the Mercysiders will be willing to put forth a winning effort in the league if it's against Manchester United. We'll have to wait and see.
It will also be interesting to see what happens in the weekend’s other big match up between Chelsea and Arsenal. After last weekend, where Arsenal were flat outplayed at the Riverside (even Wenger said so himself), we will have to wait and see if Arsenal can rediscover the stunning quality of play they’ve displayed all season. Neither team have much to worry about in their midweek Champions League games, so they should have the full assortment of stars available (with the exception of Drogba, who is injured).
