Ranking the 12 Best Premier League Derbies | The Analyst (The Analyst)

12. Chelsea vs. Fulham · 11. Ipswich Town vs. Norwich City · 9. Arsenal vs. Chelsea · 8. West Bromwich Albion vs. Wolves · 7. Leicester City vs. Nottingham Forest.

As a two-part Premier League derby fixture, the second city games of 2002-03 are arguably the purest essence of local rivalry ever seen in 30 years of the competition. The last three top-flight games between the sides in 2009 and 2010 produced only three goals in total but a season like 2002-03 lives on in supporters’ memories for eternity. Liverpool’s most recent league fixture in the current season was a goalless draw and that took this fixture to 24 0-0s, which is six more than any other combination of teams in Premier League history, so it’s no surprise to see that at 2.26 goals per game, this is the lowest scoring fixture in this list of derbies. Recently this fixture has been the away team’s dream and the total of 21 away wins in Premier League Manchester derbies is more than any other fixture in the competition’s history. Providing a steady stream of goals, comebacks, penalties and red cards, this is one of the best derbies in English football. Overall, this is not only the most one-sided derby in English football but the most one-sided game in English football; of the 1,538 fixtures to have been played at least 50 times in English Football League history, Fulham’s win rate against Chelsea (9.5%) is the lowest. Yes, it contains Alan Shearer’s 260th and final goal in the competition, and yes Lee Cattermole did collect four yellows and a red in eight games against Newcastle but when it returns to the Premier League we want, and in many ways need, more horsepower from the Tyne/Wear derby. The seventh Premier League game between the sides comes on Monday but the previous six have served up three red cards, making this the Premier League’s most sending off-fuelled local rivalry on a per game basis. The most recent of the six encounters saw Norwich win 3-0 at Carrow Road in March 1995, a game notable largely as being the last time a team started a Premier League local derby with two Canadians in their starting XI. There’s Kanu’s hat-trick in the late 1990s and Robin van Persie’s treble – also at Stamford Bridge – in that 5-3 game in 2011 but the games between them are often decided by that most un-derby like thing of “good play” and “goals” rather than the seething hatred that flows through most local rivalries. In the negative column, this is the only pairing in this list not to produce a single red card in the Premier League but on the other hand it oozes goals, with a monstrous 21 of them in only six games (that’s 3.50 per match). The East Midlands claims an important role in the use of “derby” in sport, with a 12th century football game in the Derbyshire village of Ashbourne (sorry, but football simply didn’t start in 1888) widely believed to be the birthplace of the term, albeit in a game that contained up to 1,000 players, theoretically enough to allow Leicester to adequately defend a corner.

What You Didn't Know About Premier League Passing | The Analyst (The Analyst)

NB: Generally speaking, this analysis only considers players to have played at least 180 minutes of action. The Chance Creators. Passes that create shots. Often ...

63% of his goal kicks have ended inside his own area and his 22-metre average goal kick length is the shortest in the league. 48% of Saints final-third throws are hurled into the box (the highest in the league) with Mohammed Salisu being the man to deliver them. Leno sends just 35% of his goal kicks long, with 62% played short into his own area – the second highest proportion in the league. That uptick is perhaps related to the presence of a certain Norwegian striker. However, the player with the second-most open-play crosses is a midfielder. And it is probably no surprise to see Alexander-Arnold top the list again with 7.1 open-play crosses attempted per 90 (38 in total). Progressive passes aim to capture this and are defined as “completed open-play passes in the attacking two-thirds of the pitch that move the ball at least 25% closer to the goal”. Despite only featuring in three games, Núñez has been on the end of more Alexander-Arnold open-play crosses (3) than anyone else. He’s averaging 14.2 progressive carries per 90 (second highest in the league) and 7.3 take-ons per 90 (highest). This season’s 6.8 progressive passes per 90 is more than triple the 1.9 per 90 he recorded in the last campaign. We’re (mostly) seven games into the Premier League season and the international break has so graciously provided us with a moment to take a step back and consider what we’ve seen so far. Trent Alexander-Arnold is in a league of his own here.

Hello everyone and welcome to Khel Now's LIVE COVERAGE of the Arsenal vs Tottenham match in the Premier League 2022-23.

Conte has morphed the club into a formidable foe, and the players will be eager to end the club’s trophy drought this season. Although Ben Davies and Lucas Moura remain uncertain for the crucial game, and most importantly, cornerstone keeper Hugo Lloris remains doubtful due to a thigh injury. Arteta has the squad and a clinical striker to contend with any club in the Premier League.

The Gunners head into the derby in a strong position. Six wins from their first seven matches makes for an impressive start for Mikel Arteta’s men, who sit top of the table going into the weekend.

Doherty, aching backwards, managing to get a flick to direct it away from the Brazilian winger. Matt Doherty has his legs chopped from under him by Martinelli, after playing a neat one-two down the line. Meanwhile, Doherty gets himself into bother, under pressure from Martinelli, he shuffles back towards his own endline, floats a wild pass across his own box which almost leads to a fourth. Dier is booked for a lazy tug on Nketiah as the Arsenal replacement rounded him down the left side. A magnificent, high energy performance from the hosts thoroughly overwhelmed their north London rivals. There's an air of giddy contentment around the Emirates Stadium that we haven't seen the likes of since about 2007.

What a chance for Brighton! Estupinian plays in Welbeck down the left, and the striker cuts inside, and plays in March. Alexander-Arnold plays in a pass forward initially intended for Salah, who is in an offside position, but the ball actually finds Carvalho. Henderson plays a ball over the top for Salah, who then takes it down and plays in Firmino inside the area with the cut-back, and the Brazilian finishes well into the net beyond Sanchez from close range. Liverpool hit Brighton quickly on the break as Alexander-Arnold wins the ball back in midfield. The ball then is loose, and Gross tries to have a shot on goal on the stretch inside the area, but he goes down.

Premier League wrap: Brighton salvage point in six-goal Anfield thriller (The Irish Times)

Gallagher wins it late for Chelsea; Newcastle power past Fulham.

Bobby Decordova-Reid grabbed a late consolation. Gianluca Scamacca rifled home a volley in the 29th minute for his first Premier League goal and Jarrod Bowen added a second nine minutes after half-time. Bramall took charge in the Premier League for just the second time, and his move to stick with his original on-field decision of no penalty was met with clear derision by the Cherries. Callum Wilson netted the opener three minutes later and it was three at half-time thanks to a brilliant goal from Miguel Almiron and one from Longstaff before Almiron added a fourth in the second half. It appeared Chelsea would have to settle for a point only for Gallagher, who starred for Palace on loan last season, to find the top corner with a brilliant first goal for his parent club. Liverpool completed the turnaround and appeared to be on course for a crucial victory after their slow start to the season, when Brighton’s Adam Webster put the ball in his own net in the 63rd minute.

He stayed down until he was taken off the pitch on a stretcher and replaced by James Tomkins, himself only recently returned from injury and available to Vieira for the first time this season. The last-gasp skirmish should not have yielded a penalty, but Bramall struggled to control the situation as Bournemouth players surrounded him. That strategy paid off on the half-hour mark when Bukayo Saka turned the ball over and the visitors launched a quick counter that ended with Arsenal giving away a penalty as defender Gabriel lunged in to trip Richarlison in the area. The usually feisty derby fixture had been surprisingly void of tough challenges and fouls, with not a single player getting booked in the first half. Saka broke in from the right and fired a low shot that Lloris could only parry straight out in front of him. McNeil grabbed his first goal for the club. Arsenal largely dominated possession in the first half as Tottenham was content to sit back and wait for counter-attacking opportunities. The Vitality Stadium hosts felt frustrated to see Kristoffer Ajer’s wayward sliding challenge on Jordan Zemura go unpunished. “From the first second I think we were the better team," the Swiss midfielder said. Tottenham would have climbed above Arsenal into first with a win, but instead saw its 13-game unbeaten run in the league stretching back to last season come to an end. “We deserved to win, I don’t know how many chances we created.” “To be honest it’s the second time I scored in a derby.

'Unbelievable', 'strange' and 'frustrating' - is VAR letting Premier League down? (BBC News)
