Description

It’s been a weekend of twists in the title race – and there’s plenty of time for more.

If there were ever a side Man City would want to face to take advantage of a Liverpool slip-up, Brentford wouldn’t be too near the top of the pile.

The Bees’ record against big sides at the Gtech is pretty impressive, and they have had an odd hoodoo over Pep Guardiola’s side – remember, they were the only team to do the double over them three seasons ago.

Of course, that was a different time. But if last weekend’s win over Man Utd is anything to go by, perhaps the Keith Andrews era isn’t that different from his predecessor Thomas Frank…

Rodri is fit for Man City's trip to Brentford on Sunday, despite coming off during the Champions League draw at Monaco on Wednesday night.

The Spain midfielder - who is still building up after his long injury layoff - has trained and boss Pep Guardiola says his players came through the Monaco game unscathed.

"He trained after. Looks good," said Guardiola. "Everybody finished without problems. Yeah, fine."

Man City are on a six-game unbeaten run and boss Pep Guardiola says while they have improved "a lot" over that time, the room to get even better is what excites him.

"The most thing that makes me happy, is it feels like the margin [to] improve. I love that feeling. The feeling that 'I think we can do better'," he said.

"The feeling we're creating again the tempo, the pace that is really good rhythm so we can attack a little more fluid, a little more consistent."

Sky Sports News' Eleanor Roper at the Brentford training ground:

Coming off the back of a brilliant win over Manchester United, Brentford are preparing to host Manchester City this weekend.

While Keith Andrews describes it as a nice week, he says they’re not getting too carried away with the result.

Igor Thiago a big talking point as you’d expect. He scored twice in the opening twenty minutes for Brentford last weekend.

Andrews is full of praise for the way he’s carried himself whilst coming back from injury and whilst it’s great that he’ll be full of confidence following last weekend, the responsibility for goal scoring can’t fall solely on his shoulders.

The club know that City provide a tougher test but Andrews seems excited about the challenge. He’s relaxed in his new role as head coach and seems to be really enjoying it.

Asked about coming up against head coach heavyweight Pep Guardiola he says, ultimate respect is the understatement.

Brentford head coach Keith Andrews has more than the “ultimate respect” for Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola as he plots to overcome “the best manager of the last 15 years” at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday.

Former Republic of Ireland international Andrews stepped up from his set-piece coach role with the Bees in the summer following Thomas Frank’s departure for Tottenham.

It has been a steep learning curve for the 45-year-old, whose side have lost three of their opening six league games but returned to form with an impressive home victory over Manchester United last weekend.

Andrews knows his fledgling career in the dugout will face the sternest of tests when he goes up against Guardiola, a man he feels has “changed the way the game is perceived”.

The Bees boss said: “I don’t know many who wouldn’t have taken inspiration from such an innovative manager.

“He has probably been the best manager of the last 15 years in the modern era – the way he has coached the game, the way he has changed the way the game is perceived and played at different clubs and in different countries.

“I have come through my coaching journey and coaching courses, and his name was pretty prevalent throughout those.

“To say I have ultimate respect for him is an understatement.”

The 2025 NFL London games are here! Here is your quick guide to one of the biggest months on the UK sporting calendar...

Justin Jefferson, Matthew Stafford and Travis Hunter feature within a star-studded cast set to cross the pond in October as the league continues its historic international slate of games in the 2025 season - and you can watch it all live on Sky Sports.

It marks the 18th year that a regular-season game has been played in London since the New York Giants beat the Miami Dolphins in the first back in 2007, 2020 being the only year not to have hosted a game due to the coronavirus pandemic.

NFL in London - what's the history?

Long before the days of International regular season games, the UK notably hosted eight American Bowl pre-season exhibition games at Wembley between 1968 and 1993.

The league returns this year having played 39 regular-season games in London, with teams now on a rotation that will see every side play in another country at least once every eight years.

History was made in 2022 when the Green Bay Packers became the 32nd and final franchise to make the trip, before the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars met in front of a record London crowd of 86,651 at Wembley Stadium.

The Jaguars raised the bar again in 2023 by becoming the first team to play back-to-back regular season games in London as they met and beat both the Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills. The Vikings will now make more history by becoming the first team to play games in two different countries in a single season as they face the Browns in London a week on from their defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first-ever regular-season game in Ireland at Dublin's iconic Croke Park.

Wembley is due to stage its 27th game, while Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - the only purpose-built stadium for NFL games outside of the US - will host its 11th and 12th games as the official 'home of the NFL' in the UK. The current deal will see two regular-season games played at Tottenham each year through to the end of the 2029-30 campaign.

Key statistics

Meet the teams

*Stats up-to-date as of Week Four

Minnesota Vikings (2-2)

The Vikings return to London boasting one of the faces of the NFL in star wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who is the second-highest paid player in his position in league history. Brian Flores has meanwhile established Minnesota's defense as one of the most potent in football with an innovative scheme set to thrust him back into head coaching candidacy next offseason.

The most pressing question marks lie at quarterback, where backup Carson Wentz has started the last two games in the absence of the injured J.J. McCarthy, who sat out his entire rookie campaign due to a knee injury as Sam Darnold stunned the NFL with a career-resurrecting campaign. His revival was in tandem with head coach Kevin O'Connell, who has asserted himself as one of football's smartest offensive architects. The Vikings have won on all four of their visits to London, including last season's victory over the New York Jets.

Stats leaders:

Passing: Carson Wentz, 44/66, 523 yards, 4 TDs, 2 INTs

Rushing: Jordan Mason, 56 carries, 271 yards, 2 TDs

Receiving: Justin Jefferson, 22 catches, 326 yards, 1 TD

Tackles: Ivan Pace Jr - 33

Sacks: Jalen Redmond - 3

Interceptions: Isaiah Rodgers/Josh Metellus - 1

Cleveland Browns (1-3)

Cleveland's claim to NFL stardom comes on defense in the form of chief edge rusher Myles Garrett, the No 1 overall pick at the 2017 Draft who has since amassed 106.5 sacks, second only to TJ Watt in that time. Rookie Dillon Gabriel will make his first NFL start at quarterback as he replaces the benched Joe Flacco, with wide receiver Jerry Jeudy among his leading weapons.

Kevin Stefanski's side, nursing the wounds of their failed Deshaun Watson contract, are 1-3 on the year having just suffered a 34-10 loss to the Detroit Lions after upsetting the Green Bay Packers in Week Three. Cleveland return to London for the first time since October 2017 when they lost 33-16 to the Vikings.

Stats leaders:

Passing: Joe Flacco, 93/160, 815 yards, 2 TDs, 6 INTs

Rushing: Quinshon Judkins, 49 carries, 237 yards, 2 TDs

Receiving: Jerry Jeudy, 13 catches, 182 yards

Tackles: Devin Bush - 31

Sacks: Myles Garrett - 4

Interceptions: Denzel Ward/Grant Delpit - 1

New York Jets (0-4)

It was yet another offseason of change for the New York Jets as they moved on from four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers while hiring former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as their new head coach. Justin Fields entered as quarterback following his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers, with wide receiver Garrett Wilson and running back Breece Hall among the league's most gifted young skill position assets.

Stats leaders:

Passing: Tyrod Taylor, 33/47, 253 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT

Rushing: Breece Hall, 38 carries, 157 yards

Receiving: Garrett Wilson, 21 catches, 229 yards, 2 TDs

Tackles: Jamien Sherwood - 30

Sacks: Will McDonald IV - 2

Interceptions: N/A

Denver Broncos (2-2)

The head coach and quarterback marriage of Sean Payton and Bo Nix takes the headlines ahead of Denver's arrival after the pair orchestrated an unlikely route to the playoffs in the latter's rookie season in 2024, underling a fresh era of progression in the wake of the franchise's foiled Russell Wilson tenure. Vance Joseph and his Broncos defense have meanwhile nestled in among the league's elite, spearheaded by Defensive Player of the Year in cornerback Pat Surtain II and premier edge rusher Nik Bonitto.

Stats leaders:

Passing: Bo Nix, 90/137, 861 yards, 7 TDs, 4 INTs

Rushing: J.K. Dobbins, 57 carries, 323 yards, 3 TDs

Receiving: Courtland Sutton, 18 catches, 266 yards, 3 TDs

Tackles: Alex Singleton - 38

Sacks: Nik Bonitto - 4.5

Interceptions: Brandon Jones - 1

Los Angeles Rams (3-1)

Sean McVay's Rams last played in London in 2019 when they beat the Cincinnati Bengals 24-10, one of four appearances in the UK. They are led by veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, who helped guide the team to victory over the Bengals at Super Bowl LVI at the end of the 2021 season, fulfilling a fierce campaign of star-studded offseason investments in view of delivering a championship. Third-year wide receiver Puka Nacua leads the NFL in catches and receiving yards through four weeks while on course for 2,000 yards, supported by former Green Bay Packers wideout Davante Adams. A youthful Rams defense is spearheaded by reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Jared Verse along with Byron Young, Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske.

Stats leaders:

Passing: Matthew Stafford, 92/136, 1,114 yards, 8 TDs, 2 INTs

Rushing: Kyren Williams, 68 carries, 303 yards, 1 TD

Receiving: Puka Nacua, 42 catches, 503 yards, 1 TD

Tackles: Kamren Curl - 35

Sacks: Byron Young - 5

Interceptions: Kamren Curl - 2

Jacksonville Jaguars (3-1)

The Jacksonville Jaguars are currently settling into a new era under first-year head coach Liam Coen, the man tasked with unlocking the best of former No 1 pick Trevor Lawrence in his bid to join the NFL's elite quarterbacks. The Jags take to the field at Wembley carrying one of the league's most fascinating case studies in second overall Draft pick Travis Hunter, the two-position rookie superstar who plays both wide receiver and defensive back. Meanwhile on defense they are led by soon-to-be franchise sack record-holder Josh Hines-Allen and former No 1 pick Travon Walker. Jacksonville have played in London an NFL-most 13 times, winning seven and losing six while making Wembley their home from home.

Stats leaders:

Passing: Trevor Lawrence, 84/144, 845 yards, 5 TDs, 4 INTs

Rushing: Travis Etienne, 65 carries, 394 yards, 2 TDs

Receiving: Brenton Strange, 19 catches, 182 yards

Tackles: Foye Oluokun - 30

Sacks: Arik Armstead - 2.5

Interceptions: Devin Lloyd - 3

Did somebody say there is a fourth game?

How about some mid-week football under the lights?! The NFL Academy will play at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the third year running this month when they take on St. Thomas Aquinas on Wednesday October 8.

Head coach Steve Hagen's side stormed to a 35-0 shutout victory over US opponents Erasmus Hall in 2023 thanks to two touchdowns from Bryan Winter alongside scores from Ben Lax, Justus Seelig and Matthew Okunade for the Loughborough-based Academy.

They were then beaten 31-9 by the California-based nationally-ranked De La Salle in 2024 as Derrick Blanche Jr. and Dominic Kelley rushed for two touchdowns apiece before Rafael Varona-Blakstad's late scoring catch.

The NFL Academy continues to thrive as a pathway to college football opportunities for athletes from multiple countries across Europe and the world. Already in its young existence it has seen the likes of offensive lineman Daniel Akinkunmi join Oklahoma and Emmanuel Okoye sign with Tennessee, while tight ends Peter Clarke and Seydou Traore are currently playing for Temple and Mississippi State, respectively, among a host of life-changing stories.

Who's providing the entertainment?

Seven-time BRIT award-winning artist RAYE will headline the half-time show during the opening NFL London game between the Vikings and Browns on Sunday October 5 at Tottenham.

The 27-year-old won a record-breaking six BRIT awards in 2024, the most by any artist in a single year, before later performing at Glastonbury in 2025.

"I'm very grateful to NFL for inviting me and the band to perform during this halftime show," said RAYE. "Hopefully we can provide a memorable and entertaining moment for the crowd and viewers at home."

Singer and songwriter Pixie Lott will perform the English national anthem ahead of the game.

Award-winning rapper Giggs will then perform at half-time of the second London matchup between the Denver Broncos and New York Jets at Tottenham, prior to which Hamilton cast members Jay Perry and Roxanne Couch will perform the respective anthems.

"It's a huge moment to be a part of the London Games," said Giggs. "I've been on a journey with my music, and to get to share that with my city and the NFL fans is something I'm really proud of."

The NFL's world tour continues

The league's ever-extending road trip continues when the NFL heads to Germany for the first-ever regular-season game in Berlin between the Indianapolis Colts and Atlanta Falcons on Sunday November 9, live on Sky Sports NFL. It will mark the fourth successive year that the NFL has hosted a game in Germany having visited both Munich and Frankfurt alternately since 2022.

Another new territory enters the fold when Madrid's iconic Santiago Bernabeu Stadium plays stage to the first-ever game in Spain between the Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders on Sunday November 16, also live on Sky.

Both trips feature as part of a record seven international games being played in 2025 as part of the league's continued global expansion, which will see the NFL head to Melbourne, Australia and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2026.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell recently reiterated the league's aim to one day play 16 international games per season, which would see each team play at least one game overseas during a single campaign.

Bodo/Glimt 2-2 Tottenham: Spurs avoid Champions League upset in Norway with another comeback draw

Bodo/Glimt 2-2 Tottenham: Spurs avoid Champions League upset in Norway with another comeback draw - Sky Sports
Description

Tottenham survived an upset at Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League as they came from two goals down to snatch a late 2-2 draw.

Thomas Frank's side were poor in the Arctic Circle and were deservedly 2-0 down after 66 minutes following Jens Petter Hauge's fine double.

But Micky van de Ven's goal just two minutes after Hauge's second set up a late Spurs comeback as Jostein Gundersen's own goal somehow salvaged a point for the visitors.

It was another rescue act for Tottenham after Saturday's stoppage-time equaliser against Wolves and the 2-2 draw at Brighton, which also saw them rally from 2-0 down.

But the performance in Norway was alarming as Spurs, who made five changes for the game, conceded 18 shots and had less of the ball than Bodo/Glimt in their first-ever Champions League home match in the league phase.

The Norwegian champions dominated the first half but failed to take their chances as Kasper Hogh wildly blazed over a 35th-minute penalty, then eight minutes later Sondre Brunstad Fet put over from close range.

Frank surprisingly did not make any half-time substitutions, and Bodo's pressure eventually told in the 53rd minute as Hauge curled in a lovely finish inside the box.

Rodrigo Bentancur looked to have grabbed an instant equaliser, but it was disallowed after a VAR review following Van de Ven's shirt pull on Odin Bjortuft in the build-up.

Bodo then doubled their lead through Hauge's arrowed finish into the bottom corner as the home side looked set for revenge on Spurs, who beat them in last season's Europa League semi-finals.

But Van de Ven atoned for his earlier foul by giving Spurs hope with a header that sparked the visitors into life.

Both sides hit the woodwork late on before Tottenham grabbed an equaliser in the 89th minute when substitute Archie Gray's shot was rebounded into his own net by Gundersen while under pressure from Richarlison, who was just onside after a lengthy VAR review.

Frank's side, though, know they were fortunate to escape with a draw that maintains their unbeaten start to this season's Champions League.

Frank: Mentality earned us deserved point

Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank speaking post-match to TNT Sports:

"The first positive is that the mentality and character of the players was very good. We stayed in the game and kept fighting. That gave us a very good point away from home. When you’re 2-0 down against a Bodo team that is very good here, we need to be happy with that.

"Until 2-0, especially in the first half, Bodo was better than us. We know they are exceptionally good at what they’re doing. They’re well coached. That was clear to see in the first half. We struggled a little bit defensively with the high pressure and we should’ve been braver on the ball.

"I don’t want to complain about the surface. It is what it is. There were scenarios where we could've kept the ball better. The most important thing is to keep trying and keep doing the right thing.

"After 2-0, we were the best team. We got back from 2-0 down against Brighton. Back from behind against Wolves. Back from behind today. That’s hugely important. Our mentality is to keep running and keep fighting hard.

"You have to do that in football, even if you’re on top of the game. Four points from the two games is good and also today, to get a point, is a fine start."

Analysis: Spurs remain unconvincing

Spurs will be breathing a huge sigh of relief after that.

The Aspmyra Stadion was a scene of jubilation earlier this year as Spurs comfortably won 2-0 there for a 5-1 aggregate victory to reach the Europa League final, as they went on to lift the trophy.

But four months on, it was a different story as Spurs were very nearly frozen out in the Arctic Circle. Bodo will be wondering how they did not upset their Premier League opponents.

Tottenham were dreadful in the first half but somehow were still level at the break.

Their woeful performance continued after half-time, and it was no surprise they went 2-0 down.

Credit to Frank's side again for coming back as they once again showed huge resilience and determination to get themselves out of a bad situation.

But their last four games across the Champions League and Premier League have been unconvincing. It will therefore please Frank they have only lost one game in either competition all season.

There is plenty of room for improvement, however, and a better display will be needed at Leeds on Saturday to instil some confidence heading into the October international break.

Tottenham 1-1 Wolves: Joao Palhinha's stoppage-time goal snatches Spurs a point

Tottenham 1-1 Wolves: Joao Palhinha's stoppage-time goal snatches Spurs a point - Sky Sports
Description

Joao Palhinha snatched a stoppage-time leveller for Tottenham in a 1-1 draw with Wolves, who picked up their first point of the season.

After five straight defeats to start the season, Vitor Pereira's side looked on their way to maximum points after a disciplined defensive display was capped by Santiago Bueno's opening goal.

Spurs' response to going behind lacked intensity and an equaliser looked unlikely until Palhinha controlled a beautiful finish into the far corner four minutes into stoppage time.

Pereira ripped up his trusted 3-4-2-1 formation in north London and went with four at the back for the first time in the Premier League since his appointment by Wolves last December. It worked a charm, although things could have been different if Mohammed Kudus' close-range header hadn't been brilliantly tipped on to the crossbar by Sam Johnstone.

The visitors made their move when Ladislav Krejci was denied by Guglielmo Vicario but Bueno tapped in the rebound after it bounced off Palhinha.

It looked to be the match winning goal but Palhinha's third goal since he joined on loan from Bayern Munich ensured new Tottenham boss Thomas Frank avoided a second home loss of the campaign.

The result means Spurs, who would have gone second with a victory, have won just three of last 17 Premier League home games since November 2024.

Palhinha: It's a draw that feels like a loss

Tottenham midfielder Palhinha speaking to Sky Sports:

"I am not happy at all to be honest. Those are the games we need to win, especially when we play at home.

"We did a great first half but we could've created more chances. When you are losing 1-0 to these kind of teams, we need to push on the pitch.

"It is not going to be easy, we knew it. Of course, I am really sad. This result is mandatory for us in these games.

"It's a draw that feels like a loss."

Pereira: We deserved to win, we have our spirit back

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira speaking to Sky Sports:

"Congrats to my team and players. We deserved the three points but football is football, sometimes it is not fair.

"Keeping this period, playing in the way we did in the second half. we will get our points.

"We were the best team in the second half and in my opinion, deserved to win.

"I need to keep my balance. It is very difficult to concede a goal in the last minute.

"Football is what it is.

"The difference is now we are working together. Everybody knows what we want.

"First half was difficult to control but the second half was very good. Two games without losing but we need to keep this spirit and increase our level - and to rest a bit!

"I really believed we would win the game until the last minute. We have the spirit and quality. Now we are proving our quality."

Frank: A draw was a fair reflection

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank speaking to Sky Sports:

"I think we played a good first half without having clear-cut chances.

"Some good situations we didn't get enough out of. In the second half we started okay and then the goal.

"After that we lost control. We didn't keep the structure but we got a well-deserved equaliser in the end.

"It's a fair reflection today. We were on top in the first half but the goal disrupted us a bit.

"You are happy because the players worked so hard. It's good to get at least one but it's another reminder that this league is relentless and so tough."
