If you had to guess, you could probably get most of the names. Over the past 10 years, who would be on the top 10 for most shots attempted in a single Premier League season?

The list doubles as a pretty good summation of the most impactful players in the league over that span. There’s Luis Suarez, who is on there twice. Wayne Rooney’s on there. So is Cristiano Ronaldo. The two defining Chelsea players of the era, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, both make appearances, as do Gareth Bale and Robin…

Stewart Robson joins Alexis Nunes to explain why he expects this season’s Champions League to be won by another Premier League giant.

Manchester City made it back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this season with a comfortable 4-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at The Etihad. Kevin De Bruyne opened up the scoring after just two minutes, followed by a brace before the hour mark from Sergio Aguero and a late fourth from Bernardo Silva.

Positives
Getting De Bruyne back on the scoresheet will have done the Belgian the world of good, and his early opener allowed City to breeze through the game without a great deal…

ESPN FC’s Craig Burley reacts to some of the hottest takes from the weekend’s football action around the globe.

Liverpool’s Salah has been sublime since returning to the Premier League.

Crystal Palace have beaten Manchester United in the Premier League for the first time in the competition’s history. In fact, before Jordan Ayew and Patrick van Aanholt got their goals, the last time Palace even took the lead against United in league competition at Old Trafford was in 1979, when David Swindlehurst scored in an…

Sadio Mane’s brace against Wolves wasn’t enough for Liverpool to steal the Premier League title on Manchester City on the final day of the season.

Manchester City are the first team in a decade to win back to back Premier League titles, beating Brighton 4-1.

BRIGHTON, England — Manchester City were crowned Premier League champions after a 4-1 victory at Brighton ensured they finished above Liverpool by just a point in one of the tightest title races in Premier League history.
City started the day on top but dropped to second after an early goal at Anfield, and the pressure grew when Glenn Murray headed Brighton ahead in the 27th minute. But Sergio Aguero equalised just 83 seconds later and Aymeric Laporte headed City ahead before half-time.
Pep Guardiola’s…
