After the international break, the Premier League was back in action this weekend. The biggest match was Liverpool against Manchester United. The two teams are the most successful in English football history, with Manchester United having won 19 championships and Liverpool 18. In recent years, Manchester United have been by far the most successful team, winning the Premier League about once every two years and also getting to three Champions League finals in the last four or five years. However, when it comes to direct meetings of the two teams, in recent years Liverpool has the better record.
This year, Manchester United rested many players, including Rooney, who had taken part in the international matches or whom they want to include in next week's match against Manchester City. Apparently, the match was very dull until Gerard, returning from injury, scored. But, as happens very often, Manchester United came back to a draw with a late goal, after sending Rooney on as a substitute.
Manchester United's draw combined with Manchester City's win over Aston Villa to send Manchester City top for the first time. My suspicion is that Ferguson, the Manchester United manager, will be the most satisfied of the managers, because most of his top players have had a good rest, and I think he will be confident of beating Manchester City and going top again.
In a battle between two clubs lower down the table, Arsenal beat Sunderland 2-1. Yeah!
