Liverpool Top as United Drop

Only four games featured on Match of the Day in the week before the international weekend causing some real problems for the big guns in the Promroiship as a multiplier of 4 leads to weekly points scores well below the season average. As a result, Manchester United relinquish top spot to Liverpool who did not play, and despite featuring first Arsenal's average decreased slightly as well. It was not all bad news though, as Sunderland's appearance in the first match, along with West Brom and Wigan all improved their season averages, presumably because they feature so low on Match of the Day when the fixture list on Saturday is fuller.

Worth pointing out is that after seven rounds of the Promroiship, Manchester City have only featured on Match of the Day once. Unbelievable.
