MANCHESTER, England - It wasnt so long ago that Arsenal vs. Manchester United was one of the marquee matches in the Premier League season, a fixture that went a long way to deciding which team won the title.Now, it pits two sides struggling to even get in the top four.Arsenal is sixth and 20-time English champion United is seventh heading into Saturdays game at Emirates Stadium, with both clubs having had a tough start to the season mainly because of injury problems and suspect defending.They have already been cut adrift by Chelsea, which is the unbeaten leader after 11 games and showing the kind of form that is making pundits wonder whether it can go through the season without losing.Here are some things to know about the upcoming matches in the Premier League on its resumption after the international break:___UNITEDS INJURIESManchester United manager Louis van Gaal is counting the cost of the recent batch of international games, with goalkeeper David de Gea (dislocated finger), defender Luke Shaw (unspecified) and midfielders Angel Di Maria (ankle), Daley Blind (knee) and Michael Carrick (groin) joining an already-lengthy injury list at Old Trafford.Van Gaal has been unfortunate with injuries since taking over in the off-season, with his defence regularly short of its best players and Colombia striker Radamel Falcao starting just three times following his expensive loan move from Monaco.United said Thursday that 12 members of its squad are carrying injuries.Van Gaals side hasnt won any of its five away matches in the Premier League this season.___WELBECK FACES OLD TEAMDanny Welbeck will look to show United was wrong to sell him on transfer deadline day this summer when he lines up for Arsenal against his old club for the first time.The England striker has scored five goals in 12 games for Arsenal since leaving his boyhood team, where he rarely got a start or was played out of position on the left wing.Personally I have been surprised by his technical capacity, the way he understands the game, his work rate, Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta said. I rate him more now than I used to and this is a good sign because normally the opposite is true when you watch a player on a daily basis.While Welbeck and fellow summer signing Alexis Sanchez, who has scored six goals in his last four league starts, have been the positives for Arsenal this season, the defence remains a worry for manager Arsene Wenger.Arsenal has thrown away a lead in its last two matches, drawing 3-3 against Anderlecht in the Champions League after being 3-0 ahead and conceding two late goals to lose 2-1 at Swansea in the Premier League.___NO STOPPING CHELSEAChelsea is turning the title race into a procession, with only surprising Southampton in touching distance of the leaders ahead of their home match against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.Chelsea holds a four-point lead and has played arguably its four toughest matches — away games at Everton, Liverpool, and the two Manchester clubs — without losing. Its biggest title rival, defending champion Man City, is eight points behind in third.We dont have the title in the bag, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said. We are trying to win with every game that is possible but there will be still a long way to win the title.Top scorer Diego Costa should be refreshed after being rested by Spain over the international break.___LIVERPOOLS ATTACKING WOESLiverpools strikeforce was the main reason why the team finished second in the Premier League last season. This time round, its proving Liverpools biggest issue.In the absence of the injured Daniel Sturridge since early September, Mario Balotelli, Rickie Lambert and Fabio Borini — the other three strikers in the squad — have not scored a goal between them in the league.Like Arsenal and Man United, Liverpools objective is simply finishing in the top four to secure a place in the Champions League, but it is currently in 11th place.Balotelli injured his hamstring on international duty with Italy and is a doubt for Liverpools match at Crystal Palace on Sunday.___ELSEWHERELooking to maintain its stunning start, Southampton goes for a fifth straight win when it visits Aston Villa on Monday. Man City hosts Swansea while fourth-place West Ham is away to Everton. Harold Landry Jersey . Weise left the arena with a splint on his wrist and underwent tests to determine whether the tendon is torn. Winger Travis Moen will also miss some time after suffering a concussion in Mondays contest.

Thats 1,230 in total to cover the regular season. The man is Corey Sznajder, a soft-spoken 23-year-old Salisbury University grad who lives in Annapolis, Maryland and has been charting zone entries and zone exits throughout the NHL. I love big projects, he said. No kidding. At the 2013 Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, I met Eric Tulsky, who presented research on the value of controlled zone entries (short answer: about twice as valuable to enter with control of the puck rather than dumping it in) and Sznajder had charted a couple hundred games that were included in that study. Rashaan Evans Jersey . - Henrik Samuelsson and Curtis Lazar each had two goals and two assists as the Edmonton Oil Kings secured top spot in the Eastern Conference by defeating the host Red Deer Rebels 7-4 on Saturday in Western Hockey League action. Dion Lewis Titans Jersey . The All Blacks played their best rugby of recent years when they beat South Africa 38-27 in Johannesburg two weeks ago, clinching the Rugby Championships in a match which has been hailed as one of the best ever played.The Los Angeles Kings hope to avoid a third straight setback to begin the season on Sunday night as they kick off a six-game homestand against the Winnipeg Jets. The defending Stanley Cup champions have had a tough go early on. The Kings were shut out at home by San Jose 4-0 on Wednesday and then suffered a 3-2 overtime setback to Arizona on Saturday night. Tyler Toffoli, who had an assist, took a hooking penalty with 1:19 to play in overtime and Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson was able to cash in as his drive from the right wing beat a screened Jonathan Quick with 14 seconds on the clock. Tanner Pearson and Jeff Carter lit the lamp for the Kings, while Quick took the loss despite turning away 37 pucks. They took advantage of their opportunities in the first period and the second period they played strong, said Los Angeles head coach Darryl Sutter. The third period I thought there was a lot more back and forth. Los Angeles, which played without forward Trevor Lewis and defenseman Jake Muzzin due to upper-body injuries, are again off to a slow start following a championship. The Kings began defense of their title in 2012-13 with an 0-2-1 mark. L.A. will try to avoid matching that sttart as it hosts a Winnipeg team that has split the first two of a three-game road trip to open the campaign.dddddddddddd Viewers in the Jets region can watch the game on TSN3 starting at 8:30pm mt/6:30pm pt. The Jets rolled past the Coyotes 6-2 on Thursday, but like the Kings they failed to get any offense going against the Sharks, losing 3-0 on Saturday night in San Jose. The Sharks Alex Stalock made 30 saves, while Jets netminder Ondrej Pavelec gave up all three goals on 26 shots faced. Winnipeg was short handed eight times in the game, though it did not allow San Jose to score on the power play, and saw defenseman Dustin Byfuglien get a game misconduct at 10:24 of the third as he slammed his stick on the way to the penalty box after a call. There was some frustration that got built over the first 30 minutes, but we cant spend so much time in the penalty box, Jets head coach Paul Maurice said. Winnipeg will conclude its road trip without forward Evander Kane, who suffered a knee injury in the season opener, and begins a five-game homestand on Friday. The Kings won two of three versus the Jets last season, including a 4-2 decision in the lone encounter in Los Angeles.
