EPL Talk

With Manchester City's loss at Wolverhampton, the predicted Big Three has emerged in the Premier League. Will Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United continue pulling away going forward? That's the question that starts this edition of the EPL Talk Podcast, where myself, Kartik Krishnaiyer and Laurence McKenna the continued early season successes of last year's promoted sides before breaking down this weekend's Match of the Week: Tottenham Hotspur's visit to Old Trafford.

Also, we walk through all the league's action, talk Ballon d'Or while looking around Europe before considering the mid-week action for Premier League sides: Monday's match between Blackpool and West Bromwich Albion as well as the fourth round of UEFA Champions League.

Not even a slow, non-Champions League week can slow down the EPL Talk Podcast team, with myself, Kartik Krishnaiyer and Laurence McKenna bringing you this wrap-up of Carling Cup action and the week's news before previewing this weekend's fixtures in the English Premier League. Front and center, as far as the matches are concerned: Tottenham Hotspur's visit to Old Trafford, Saturday's late kick-off.

Chelsea is now five points clear at the top of the Premier League after their 2-0 win over Wolves was followed by Manchester City's 0-3 loss to Arsenal. Now, three teams sit behind the Blues with 17 points thanks to Manchester United returning to their late goals coring ways at the Britannia.

To talk about those matches as well as the rest of the Premier League's fixtures, I am joined by Laurence McKenna and special guest Jesse Chula for this edition of the EPL Talk Podcast.

While Champions League is usually the topic of conversation on the mid-week podcasts, this week, we have more important issues to talk about.
