League football resumes officially after the second round of the European Cups with the continent’s top-five league clubs to continue their quest towards earning a top spot in their respective leagues.
The disappointing 6-1 thrashing at Aston Villa haunted Brighton in Marseille as they suffered to salvage a late draw to save their journey towards qualification.Arsenal suffered their first loss of the season at Lens on Tuesday, quite shockingly. It was not only that, they lost Bukayo Saka to injury and might miss his involvement against City. Although Mikel Arteta’s men have not lost a single match in the league, they will, no doubt, have a lot of work to do stop a Rodri-less Manchester City.
Thanks to a Morata-double on Wednesday, Atletico Madrid continue their impressive run to the season as they won Feyenoord away from home in the Champions league. This came after they came from behind last weekend to beat Cadiz. They are now unbeaten in the last five matches and will be tested heavily against an on-form Real Sociedad.
