England: Chelsea and Arsenal hold on, Manchester United wins before Amorim, Tottenham sinks
Chelsea and Arsenal delivered a lively London derby but without a winner (1-1), Sunday at Stamford Bridge, a result which suits championship leader Liverpool and its runner-up Manchester City.
Chelsea (3e) and Arsenal (4e) now have 19 points, four less than the Citizens by Pep Guardiola (2e23 pts) and nine less than the Reds d’Arne Slot (1is28 pts).
Arsenal perhaps leaves with the most regrets. THE Gunners opened the scoring by Gabriel Martinelli (60e0-1) but were caught by a goal from Pedro Neto ten minutes later (70e1-1).
Mikel Arteta's team is going through a bad patch, especially in the league where they have only collected two points in their last four matches (two defeats and two draws).
THE Blues of Chelsea have a second consecutive draw after bringing home a point from Manchester United (1-1) last weekend.
Manchester United gagne avant Amrim
Manchester United easily beat Leicester (3-0) on the eve of welcoming their new coach Ruben Amorim where Ipswich obtained their first victory of the season, at the expense of a Tottenham team that was far too irregular.
The fine mechanics of Nottingham Forest also stalled in front of Newcastle (3-1).
In the standings, the Mancuniens certainly remain thirteenth, with 15 points, but they are now hot on the heels of a group made up of Bournemouth, Brentford and Tottenham.
Newcastle, for their part, are on the rise: after five matches without winning, the Magpies scored a second victory in a row, a week after beating Arsenal. In the standings, they are eighth.

Italy: AS Rome, beaten by Bologna, immediately dismisses Juric
AS Roma did not waste time: less than an hour after its home defeat against Bologna (3-2) on Sunday, it parted ways with its coach Ivan Juric, who arrived in September to replace Daniele De Rossi.
“We want to thank Ivan Juric for his work over the last few weeks. He managed the team in a difficult climate with maximum professionalism,” Roma said in its statement.
“The search for a new coach has already begun and an announcement will be made in the coming days,” added the capital club, suggesting that Juric’s fate was already sealed before this match.
The Roberto Mancini hypothesis
The Roman leaders now have ten days during the international break to find a new coach.
To replace him, Roma will be able to recruit former Italian coach Roberto Mancini who has just left his post as coach of Saudi Arabia.
Since taking office in mid-September, Juric, whose appointment had been strongly criticized by the Roman ultras, has won only three victories in the championship for four defeats and a draw.
Roma have lost four of their last five matches, conceding twelve goals, including five at Fiorentina (5-1) on October 27.
Eleven points behind number 5e Instead, Roma have almost lost all hope of qualifying for the next Champions League, a goal that their great rival, Lazio, 6e with a match in hand, can aim.
Atalanta Bergamo and Fiorentina in form
Furthermore, we will have to count on Atalanta Bergamo and Fiorentina this season in the Italian Championship: they scored a sixth consecutive victory on Sunday thanks, for the “Viola”, to a hat-trick from Moise Kean.
Atalanta won 2-1 at home against Udinese and Fiorentina outclassed Verona 3-1 to temporarily regain their place on the Serie A podium.
The winner of the 2024 Europa League, second with 25 points, as many as the leader Naples who faces Inter Milan (4e24 pts) this Sunday evening, has been undefeated since the end of September in both Serie A and the Champions League.
Fiorentina also has 25 points, but is only in third place due to a slightly lower goal difference than Atalanta (+15 against +16).

Spain: Atlético Madrid continues in Mallorca
A great classic for Atlético Madrid: after their last-minute and ultra-realistic victory in the Champions League in Paris, Antoine Griezmann and his team showed solidity and efficiency in Mallorca on Sunday in the championship (1-0).
With this short success, which still owes a lot to goalkeeper Jan Oblak, Diego Simeone's rojiblancos soldiers return to third (26 pts) ahead of Villareal and remain in contact with rival Real Madrid, second (27 pts) but with a game in hand. Barça, which plays this Sunday evening, is leader with 33 points already.
Betis keeps its distance
Nothing says an Atlético game more than another Atlético game. On the island of Mallorca, they showed it again by keeping their backs until the hour mark and scoring with their first shot on target.
At the start of the afternoon in Seville, Barça-trained defender Marc Bartra snatched a draw for Bétis against Celta Vigo, with a header at the end of added time (2-2). With a beautiful volley, Javi Rodriguez opened the scoring for the Galicians but the Andalusians twice managed to come back. Betis (6e) keeps his distance from Celta (9e).

Germany: Frankfurt returns on the heels of Leipzig
After leading 3-0 in the 85th minute, Frankfurt had a huge scare but ended up winning on the wire in Stuttgart (3-2), a success which allowed Eintracht to return to the standings at a point from second, RB Leipzig.
On the evening of the 10e day of the German championship, Frankfurt occupies third place with 20 points, one less than RB Leipzig and six less on the leader, Bayern Munich, who achieved a first gap at the top of the Bundesliga.
Eintracht also stands out from the chasing group in the Bundesliga, with three points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen, Freiburg and Union Berlin (17) and four over Borussia Dortmund (16).
