EPL Talk

For the first time this season, Chelsea ended a match day below first place. That's quite an accomplishment - sitting atop the table for the first 14 match days - but it won't get as many column inches as Dimitar Berbatov's trick, becoming the fourth Premier League player to score five goals in one match.

On this edition of the EPL Talk podcast, we talk about Berbatov's feat and take inventory of what might be an unprecedentedly deep title race. Kartik Krishnaiyerand I also look at the weekend that was in the Championship and Europe, take a moment to consider Monday in Spain, as well as dwell on all the other matches that took place this weekend in the Premier League.

Chelsea and Manchester United are now even atop the league, but the big story comes from North London, where Tottenham Hotspur put to rest that oft-cited statistic. Now Spurs have won a road match against a Big 4 opponent, beating Arsenal at the Emirates 3-2 on Saturday.

That, romps by Manchester City, Bolton and Liverpool, as well as discussion of the rest of Europe and mid-week Champions League action on this, the EPL Talk podcast.

Chelsea's troubles have reached a season low, losing by three goals to Sunderland at Stamford Bridge. But amongst the league's leaders, they weren't alone in their struggles, with Manchester United and Manchester City being drawn. Only top at the top able to get three were the Gunners, impressive at Goodison, while Bolton, Spurs, and Stoke - yes, Stoke - round out the winners from the league's top half.

On this edition of the EPL Talk Podcast, myself, Kartik Krishnaiyer and Laurence McKenna talk about the weekend's action, focusing on the upset at the Bridge and Arsenal's victory over Everton. We talk about the latest news, the rest of the league's action, as well as address your feedback on this, our weekend review podcast.

For the second consecutive match day, the English Premier League has given us a slate full of close, exciting matches. Whether it be a back-and-forth affair at Villa Park, leads being given-up and reclaimed at the Britannia, gifted equalizers at White Hart Lane or dramatically salvaged points at Goodison, the league was full of compelling fixtures. And those don't even cover the match we were all looking at: a Manchester Derby at Eastlands that was both compelling (for the match-up, the tactics) and disappointing (negative tactics and a 0-0).

On this edition of the EPL Talk podcast, Laurenca McKenna and I not only go over the results of England's 13th match day but also cast a snark-laden gaze toward the weekend's action, trying to decide which is a more worthy Match of the Week: United's trip to Villa Park, or Arsenal's visit to Goodison.

Find out on this edition of the EPL Talk podcast.

The most exciting weekend to date in the English Premier League season saw the league leaders drawn back to the pack when Chelsea was upended at Anfield. Meanwhile, Manchester United was up to their old tricks, Arsenal's struggles continued, while Bolton and Newcastle captured imaginations.
