This post was inspired by a Liverpool fan on Twitter, who tweeted something along the lines of “Henderson 1,347 mins, 5 goals, 4 assists. Cleverley 1,396 mins, 2 goals, 1 assist”, the Tweet was received by other Liverpool fans as the proof they needed that Henderson should be in the England squad ahead of the [...]

Not very, if most people are to be believed. Despite being on track to get close to the Premiership’s highest ever points total, (Chelsea’s 95 in 2004/05, which, itself, was overshadowed by events in Turkey), nobody seems to think this United side are anything special. Meek exits from all three cup competitions and an alarming [...]

This week Martin Lewis has a scouting report on Manchester United. This will not only be interesting for Manchester City supporters but also Manchester United supporters before the big game on Saturday. In fact supporters of any club that are yet to play Manchester United this season will find this in-depth tactical and statistical analysis [...]

With Manchester United keen to avenge their 6-1 defeat last season and with Manchester City yet to secure second place, Monday night’s game may not be the damp squib many expect. There are odds of 2.15 for a home win; City are 3.20 to grab an away win. Sure, with United 15 points clear at the top [...]

However, many would point to his hard-working, athletic performances and his ability to harrow a defence as signs that he is worth a place in both [...]

The comeback kings of the Premier League clash on Sunday. Gaining 27 points from losing positions, Manchester United play host to an Everton side which have gained 21 points after falling behind. Everton will travel with confidence given recent results against United. After last season’s 4-4 draw dented their host’s title push, Marouane Fellaini bullied [...]

In EPL Index’s second segment of whether Fabio Da Silva can replace the ageing Patrice Evra at Manchester United, we compare the two players’ attacking contributions and passing abilities. The first part highlighted the defensive differences between Fabio and Evra and it was quite evident that the former is still light years behind his French [...]

Manchester United’s Tom Cleverley and Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere are both excellent players, so to compare them with the intention of deciding who is better would be a wasteful exercise.

Once regarded as one of the best exponents of his art, now at the age of 31, Patrice Evra is entering the twilights of his career.
