The 2018-19 Premier League season has a markedly different feel from 2017-18. This is a campaign of identities, of philosophies, of ideologues. The change has been evident at the top, where Chelsea’s Maurizio Sarri and Arsenal’s Unai Emery have stamped their authority upon their sides with remarkable speed. In midtable, Everton finally have a clear playing identity under Marco Silva, and Watford appear more settled under Javi Gracia. But the pattern is also evident among bottom-half sides, which is the biggest transformation from last season. In 2017-18, the Premier League’s weaker sides boasted plenty of attacking talent but little in…
“Never, ever, give up,” tweeted Eric Bailly after his impressive game for Manchester United against Arsenal. One can read that in several ways. Firstly, that United didn’t give up and again came from behind (Jose Mourinho’s side have gone behind in seven of the last nine league games, only losing two of them) to get a draw. Secondly, that on a personal level the Ivorian showed the world that he can be one of the best players in a big Premier League match — and that after his worst couple of months since he moved to England in 2016. It…

Positives The three points collected here means this is Liverpool’s best-ever start to a top-flight season. Naby Keita showed glimpses…

Manchester United extended their Premier League winless run to four games despite twice fighting back from a goal down to earn a 2-2 draw against Arsenal at Old Trafford. With Jose Mourinho dropping Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku to the bench following Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Southampton, the under-fire manager knew that anything but a victory would raise questions over his bold selection. Even though United’s performance was better than in recent weeks, it was Arsenal who created the better chances and looked the more convincing team. Goals from Shkodran Mustafi and Alexandra Lacazette twice gave the Gunners the lead,…

But Pele said he rates the 1986 World Cup winner — as well as two other former players — higher than Messi. “As far as I’m concerned, Maradona…
