Peter coach, the England's striker is also a key player in Liverpool's side. In last year league he has shown his talent that he can also score fabulous and wonderful goals.

Gabriel Heinze Moves To Real Madrid
Manchester United's Argentina centre-back Gabriel Heinze has moved to Real Madrid on a four year deal. It is said that Heinze had been eager to join United's bitter domestic rivals Liverpool but his wish has been firmly rebuffed by the Premier League champions.
Heinze's leaving Manchester United is a sure set back for them. The club has started this year season with a draw and has lost one of its game as well. And it has to register its first win yet. At this moment if one of its key player moves out of the team then it will be hard for ManU to register its first win.

Chelsea and Liverpool
Chelsea and Liverpool earned a point each after their game ended in a draw. Benitez's team kept Jose Mourinho's team under pressure in the whole game. Both the team tried to create opportunites to score from the beginning of the game, but it was Liverpool who got lead with the goal of newly signed player Fernando Torres. After that goal Liverpool put Chelsea under pressure in the whole game, but they couldnot score. While Chelsea was awarded a penalty in the second half and Lampard scored to equalise the score. Both the teams have played three games and have won two of the games they played. With this result they are on the table with seven points each.
In other game Blackburn hold Arsenal on a draw (1-1) and shared a point. Thanks to the goal by Lehmann on the 70th minute which destroyed the Arsenal's hope of earning three points.
ManU What Happened?
With Ronaldo and Rooney gone, its like ManU has lost its backbone. The game played with Rooney and Roanldo in the team differs a lot then the game played without them. When I watched the first league game of ManU, I had thought that ManU will surely win the league title in a row. Their game was just superb. And Ronaldo and Rooney, they are just amazing. I am not saying that other players of ManU are not talented or best. But they seem to play well when Rooney and Ronaldo are on the team and are lagging when they are not. ManU has lost a game and has earned just two points in three games and slowly its becoming difficult for it to keep the challenge. If it started repeating the same mistakes it has done in the previous three games then its future is at stake.
ManU Defeated
Manchester City defeated the defending champion Manchester United giving them a good slap in their journey to defend the league title. Manchester City sidelined ManU with 1-0. With three games played Manchester City has won all its three games and earned nine points while ManU has drawn two of its games and lost one and has earned only two points and are lagging far behind its rival teams Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Manchester United Again Failed
Manchester United again field to record a win and settled down in a draw (1-1) against Portsmouth. Whereas its competitor Chelsea and Liverpool has managed to win their games and secure 3 points each. They have played two games and had won both the games while ManU has drawn both the games it played and has earned just two points. If this sort of things continued for some more games than ManU is sure to loose its League title this year. In its game against Portsmouth Christiano Ronaldo got a red card and was sent off the field. And he will misses the next match. ManU has lost Rooney for two games and now Ronaldo is also not available for next game. This will surely affect the game of ManU to retain its League title. Lets hope that ManU will improve their game and prove itself a good competitor to win a Leage Championship.

In English premiere league last year's winner Manchester United has started their match with a draw and his major opponent Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool has started it with a win. Though it might be a set back for ManU, their players are confident enough to win their other game and retain their premiership cup.
ManU is facing Portsmouth today and it is bringing the newly signed player Tevez in the ground after Rooney got hurt in the match against Reading. We have to wait and see how the ManU players will take the game.
