Premier League goes red card crazy

Last updated : 01 November 2009 By Tony Scholes
None of the teams who ended their games with either nine or ten players were able to win and the league now has a familiar look to it with Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal in the top three.

Manchetser City currently sit in the fourth Champions League qualifying place after their 0-0 draw at Birmingham this afternoon.

Burnley are back in the top half, moving up one place to tenth and our lead over the bottom three is now seven points with Hull third from bottom and then West Ham and Portsmouth below them on seven points.

The weekend stats are below along with the leading goalscorers, each club's disciplinary records and the week's fixtures including one midweek fixture between West Ham and Aston Villa.
