Read on for a round-up of all the games and biggest talking points of Premier League day two. Chelsea comfortably beat Huddersfield Having tasted defeat to Manchester City the previous week, Maurizio Sarri’s first league game in charge of Chelsea was a more straightforward task. The Blues took on Huddersfield and were too strong an outfit for David Wagner’s side, with N’Golo Kante’s 34th-minute finish setting the tone for the rest of the game....
I’ve been to the border many, many times, but when I went last month it was the worst I’ve ever seen it. The first night we were there we went on midnight patrol with the National Border Patrol Council. On the banks of the Rio Grande, we saw migrant after migrant after migrant crossing the river in a nearly endless stream of illegal border crossings. We saw the bright lights of coyotes who were illegally bringing people across the river in rickety and dangerous rafts to the spot where we stood....
Vice President Pence flew in for Sunday’s game to watch a ceremony honouring Peyton Manning, who had a statue unveiled outside Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday. Pence made an early departure, though, revealing on Twitter that he would “not dignify any event that disrespects" the flag. “I left today’s Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem,” Pence tweeted....

Prednisone belongs to a group of drugs called synthetic glucocorticoids, also called corticosteroids or just steroids, which act to raise your body’s adrenal hormone levels and reduce inflammation. It is best used as part of your overall treatment plan alongside other drugs to manage RA pain, such as those that work to slow the progression of the disease. When the symptoms of RA are exacerbated, prednisone is highly effective at relieving pain....
The woman, who was identified only as Nasria, spoke to Voice of America (VOA) on Friday about her experiences since U.S. forces left Afghanistan on the August 31 withdrawal deadline. The 25-year-old had traveled to the country in June to visit family and get married but is now stranded there with no apparent way to get home. She was referred to only by her first name for safety reasons....
Open Enrollment for Individual or Group Health Coverage Individual health insurance plans that include maternity coverage are available through the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) health insurance exchanges (and directly from major medical insurance companies, outside the exchange). And employer-sponsored health plans also cover maternity care. But you can only enroll in those plans: During open enrollment for individual/family plans, which runs from November 1 to January 15 in most states. For employer-sponsored coverage, the employer sets their own open enrollment window....
Last summer, the EPL clubs spent a staggering 1.5 billion euros on transfer deals to add a flurry of quality players to the league. This year seems to be no different, with the PL teams having spent over 1.3 billion euros before their August 9 deadline. With teams having spent actively in the transfer market, this season promises to be highly competitive. A majority of the teams, which finished in the top six last season, have had sweeping changes in their squad and so have the teams returning to the top flight such as Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers....
This summer, the Red Devils have addressed their defence, which conceded 54 goals in the league, with the signings of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire. Daniel James, United’s first summer signing, has injected pace and vital components to the pressing system which Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seeks to implement in the upcoming campaign. However, pacy winger is a raw talent and is expected to take time before he bursts onto the scene....
#1 Jorginho (€57 million) Many dubbed Jorginho as the next Andrea Pirlo because of his stellar season at Napoli. Following his move to Chelsea, he was supposed to be a core player for Maurizio Sarri in implementing ‘Sarri-ball’. Unfortunately, he has turned out to be one of Chelsea’s core problems. The Brazilian midfielder has only scored one goal (from a penalty) and has no assists for the Blues. When Sarri assigned him to fill N’golo Kante’s defensive role, Jorginho failed to give the much-needed protection in midfield....
So who will win? Can Unai Emery’s resurgent Gunners take what would be their biggest scalp of 2018/19 so far? Or will Jurgen Klopp’s men once again prove themselves to be superior – and prove that Arsenal still aren’t back to their best? For me, the latter is more likely. Here are 3 reasons why Liverpool will beat Arsenal this weekend. #1 Liverpool’s tighter defence Last season was a hugely successful one for Liverpool – they reached the final of the Champions League and secured their place at Europe’s top table again this season by finishing 4th in the Premier League, but it was quite clear that they were far from the finished article....
Manchester City started brightly but Liverpool had the big opportunity of the game. Mohamed Salah released Sadio Mane with a lovely through ball on the 18th minute and Mane tried to slot it past the keeper but struck the post. Seconds later, John Stones made a goal-line clearance after his initial clearance was blocked by Ederson and almost went in for a goal. Review of the play saw the ball missing merely by 1....
All 20 teams in the Premier League will have different season objectives, the newly promoted teams would seek to continue enjoying the glamour and financial rewards of the top-flight by retaining their PL status, average to mid-table teams would seek to avoid an implosion which would see them battling relegation, similar to what happened to Stoke City last season, while the biggest small teams (the Burnleys, Evertons and West Hams) would battle it out for the left over European spots....
And then, VAR happened. This is going to be a good season, controversy-wise. For all their efforts and domination, City’s inability to take the game by its throat is a good sign for the rest of the title aspirants. Twice City led - first through a Raheem Sterling header off a glorious Kevin de Bruyne ball, and then through a faux sitter from Sergio Aguero, again off a setup by the Belgian....
Newcastle were holding on for a point at St. James’ Park on Sunday after DeAndre Yedlin was dismissed but Doherty nodded in from close range in added time after Martin Dubravka saved from Diogo Jota, who also opened the scoring. But Benitez strongly disagreed with referee Mike Dean’s decision to dismiss Yedlin for dragging Jota to the ground, while claiming Ayoze Perez should have been given a penalty after a clash with Willy Boly in the Wolves box....
The 2021-22 season continues to live up to the Premier League’s expectations. Supporters being back in the stadium in total capacity have made the matches more exciting and gripping. A total of 110 matches have been played so far, with 302 goals being scored. (2.75 goals/game). After 11 matches, Chelsea sit at the top of the table with 26 points. Manchester City follow the league leaders, being just three points behind Chelsea....
The Italian international is set to sign a long-term contract with the Premier League club after the two clubs reached an agreement over a fee and is set to undergo a medical imminently. In case you didn’t know… Having joined the Milan academy as a 10-year-old in 2007, Cutrone rose through the ranks and established himself as a member of the first team in recent seasons, after making his first-team debut in May 2017....
While the former’s destination remains up in the air because of his well-documented refusal to take a pay cut on his $18.7 million-a-year after-tax contract, the latter is edging closer to a move to Arsenal. With Aaron Ramsey moving to Juventus as a free agent, the Gunners have a gaping hole in midfield and Unai Emery believes Ceballos is the ideal replacement for the Welshman. “We have been speaking about the possibility to sign one player on loan,” Emery said during his pre-match press conference ahead of Arsenal’s game against Real Madrid on Tuesday....
