cky punch, saying he would fight McGregor anytime, anywhere ... only to decline a short-notice rematch at UFC
The Premier Leagues top four go head-to-head on Sky Sports on Sunday, with leaders Leicester travelling to Arsenal and Manchester City hosting Tottenham.Just six points separate the teams in the table and this weekend offers the perfect opportunity for them to make a statement of intent in the title race.To build up to the big showdowns, all this week Sky Sports will be analysing the teams. On Monday we looked at their goalkeepers and Tuesday was an assesment of their defences. Wednesday saw midfielders under the spotlight while Thursday analysed their strikeforces.Now, its time to check on the men that run the show - the managers. Heres what the stats say… Manuel Pellegrinis Man City host Mauricio Pochettinos Tottenham live on Super Sunday. PREMIER LEAGUE HISTORY Overall Premier League record Manager No. of games Won Drawn Lost No. of trophies Win % Wenger 739 428 182 129 15 57.9 Ranieri 171 91 45 35 0 53.2 Pellegrini 101 65 17 19 2 64.4 Pochettino 117 51 34 32 0 43.6 Arsene Wenger (749 games) has managed over four times as many games as his nearest competitor Claudio Ranieri (171), however, he is in second place in terms of win percentage, behind Manuel Pellegrini. The Man City boss has managed the fewest Premier League games of the quartet (117) but his win rate of 64.4 per cent betters Wengers 57.9 per cent. Wenger has won 15 titles with Arsenal, including the FA Cup in the last two seasons. Wenger has a haul of 15 trophies in 15-and-a-half years at Arsenal - including six FA Cups and three Premier League titles. Pellegrini is the only other manager to have picked up silverware out of the four - he won the Premier League and League Cup with City in 2013/14, his first season in charge. Ranieri has won an impressive number of games in his two top flight spells - 91 out 171 - while Pochettino has a 43.6 per cent win rate.Club by club Premier League record by club Manager & team Arrived Departed No. of games Won Drawn Lost Win percentage Wenger - Arsenal 30 Sept 1996 Current 739 428 182 129 57.9 Ranieri - Chelsea 18 Sept 2000 31 May 2004 146 76 37 33 52.1 Ranieri - Leicester 13 July 2015 Current 25 15 8 2 60.0 Pellegrini - Man City 14 June 2015 Current 101 65 17 19 64.4 Pochettino - Soton 18 Jan 2013 27 May 2014 54 19 18 17 35.2 Pochettino - Spurs 27 May 2014 Current 63 32 16 15 50.8 Ranieri has only lost two Premier League games with Leicester this season. The Foxes have won 15 of their 25 Premier League fixtures, and are five points clear at the top of the table.The Italians win percentage at Chelsea between 2000 and 2004 was 52.1 per cent. Pochettino won 19 out of 54 games during his time with Southampton but that ratio has stepped up to 32 out of 63 at Spurs.Pellegrini and Wenger have been one-club men in their Premier League careers so far, with the Man City boss win percentage leading the pack, winning 65 of his 101 games in charge at the Etihad. Leicester have lost just two Premier League games under Ranieri - one a 5-2 defeat to Arsenal HEAD TO HEADAhead of this weekends top-of-the-table clashes, Arsenal v Leicester and Man City v Tottenham, how have the managers fared when they have met in the Premier League with their respective clubs? Wenger v Ranieri Head to Head: Wenger v Ranieri Date Game Result 13 Jan 2001 Arsenal v Chelsea 1-1 8 Sept 2001 Chelsea v Arsenal 1-1 26 Dec 2001 Arsenal v Chelsea 2-1 1 Sept 2002 Chelsea v Arsenal 1-1 1 Jan 2003 Arsenal v Chelsea 3-2 18 Oct 2003 Arsenal v Chelsea 2-1 21 Feb 2004 Chelsea v Arsenal 1-2 26 Sept 2015 Leicester v Arsenal 2-5 Ranieri has never beaten Wenger in their Premier League meetings. The Arsenal boss has won five of their eight games, and has savoured victory in each of the last four encounters.Indeed, the Italians heaviest defeat to Wenger was the 5-2 loss at the King Power Stadium earlier this season, when a hat-trick from Alexis Sanchez helped Arsenal hand Leicester their only home defeat of the season so far. However, the Gunners have never managed to keep a clean sheet against a Ranieri side.Over the eight meetings, 17 goals have been scored by Arsenal with 10 in reply from Ranieris charges at Chelsea and Leicester.Pellegrini v Pochettino Head to Head: Pellegrini v Pochettino Date Game Result 7 Dec 2013 Soton v Man City 1-1 5 April 2014 Man City v Soton 4-1 18 Oct 2014 Man City v Spurs 4-1 3 May 2015 Spurs v Man City 0-1 26 Sept 2015 Spurs v Man City 4-1 The five Premier League meetings between these two South American managers have hardly been a defensive demonstration, with three games ending 4-1. Tottenham beat City by that scoreline in October at White Hart Lane - Pochettinos first win against Man City with either Spurs or Southampton. Premier League contests between Pellegrini and Pochettino have often ended in a 4-1 scoreline. Pellegrini was unbeaten against his counterpart before then - winning three in a row - with their first meeting in December 2013 the only draw thus far.Out of all the games in both fixtures, the Chileans Man City side are the only ones to have kept a clean sheet when they beat Tottenham 1-0 in May 2015.Watch Arsenal v Leicester City from 11.30am and Man City v Tottenham from 4pm live on Sky Sports 1 HD on Sunday.

But the UFC opted to add another event (UFC Fight Night: Dos Anjos-Alvarez) on July 7. And one more (The Ultimate Fighter 23 Finale) on July 8.You realize what that is? Thats 35 cage fights over the course of three days. The UFC has run this marathon once before, in December. That particular stretch culminated in a 13-second knockout for Conor McGregor against Jose Aldo in a featherweight championship fight.Personally, I would describe that December run as long but manageable -- and it helps when youve got a nice carrot at the end to look ahead to. This summer, the carrot is UFC 200 as a whole: a full night of marquee matchups. And the buildup is actually better than it was in December, with title fights headlining each of the first two events next week.Its a lot of MMA to digest, but theres a lot to look forward to in these lineups. Here are the Top 10 must-see fights of the UFCs second-ever marathon week.10. Cat Zingano (9-1) vs. Julianna Pena (7-2), womens bantamweights, UFC 200The image of Zingano after her last fight was a lasting one. Following her 14-second loss to Ronda Rousey at UFC 184 early last year, Zingano struggled to hold back tears while miserably saying shed do anything to get back to a second UFC title fight. Even the traditionally stone-cold Rousey expressed sympathy to Zingano that night, embracing her right after nearly tearing her arm off. That was 17 months ago. Zingano took a personal break to get her life in order and moved camps to Alliance MMA in San Diego. In the meantime, the division is wide open now that Rousey has been vanquished. Zingano faces a spark plug in Pena, who is 26 and just might be putting it all together. Yes, I do believe Ill watch this.9. Johny Hendricks (17-4) vs. Kelvin Gastelum (11-2), welterweights, UFC 200Hendricks is 1-2 in his previous three fights, including a weight-cutting fiasco last October that nixed a meeting against current title challenger Tyron Woodley. Coincidentally, Gastelum is also 1-2 in his past three and missed weight for a fight against Woodley last year! Both now say that weight issues are a thing of the past, and both are in need of a big win. The winner will still be viewed as a legitimate title contender. The loser ... who knows? The loser might be headed to middleweight.8. Miesha Tate (18-5) vs. Amanda Nunes (12-4), womens bantamweight title, UFC 200This is a completely fine 135-pound female championship fight, all right? Nothing wrong with it whatsoever. Nunes deserves to be in this spot. Shes 5-1 in the UFC, and theres a real possibility she will exit the weekend a UFC champion. But the championship fight at this weight class, as long as Rousey is out, is a rematch between Tate and Holly Holm. That first meeting in March, which Tate won in dramatic fashion via fifth-round submission, begged for an immediate rematch. Again, this fight is well worth your time and its No. 8 on a list of 35 total fights. But it should have been Tate-Holm II.7. Will Brooks (17-1) vs. Ross Pearson (19-10), lightweights, TUF 23 FinaleBrooks is the real deal. I mean, technically, Pearson is Ross The Real Deal Pearson, but figuratively speaking, Brooks is the real deal. At least, he appears to be. He was a dominant lightweight champion for Bellator MMA and holds two quality wins over the talented Michael Chandler. Pearson will give him a stern test, as hell be highly motivated to record his first winning streak since 2013 against a ranked opponent. No disrespect at all to Pearson, but this is a litmus test for Brooks. Get his feet wet, see if he swims and then, youd think, drop him in the deep end.6. Brock Lesnar (5-3) vs. Mark Hunt (12-10-1), heavyweights, UFC 200What a time to be alive. An angel sent from the farms of Saskatchewan, Canada, (and the WWE ring) will grace UFC 200 with his presence. Stylistically, this one, who knows? We expect Lesnar to wrestle and Hunt to try to knock his face off as the big man himself would say. As something of an MMA purist, I would usually say these types of things dont interest me as much as other fights on the card, but this is heavyweight MMA. Lesnar, regardless of anyones personal feelings on him, is a former champion and Hunt has the occasional wrestling problem. I expect Hunt to roll, but could Lesnar summon some kind of UFC 100-esque magic? One cant help but want to find out.5. T.J. Dillashaw (12-3) vs. Raphael Assuncao (23-4), bantamweights, UFC 200This ones pretty simple: Dillashaw is a joy to watch. I dont know if he beat Dominick Cruz in January for the UFC bantamweight championship, but I do know he didnt lose.dddddddddddd. That split-decision nod to Cruz had a very well, somebodys gotta win this thing feel to it, in my opinion. That was probably one of the closest five-round fights Ive ever seen, and, frankly, Im anxiously awaiting a second one. Im also not looking past Assuncao, who is on a seven-fight win streak (but hasnt fought since 2014). He also has a controversial win over Dillashaw from 2013. This is a critical matchup at 135 pounds, and I consider one of the men involved (Dillashaw) to be one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world today.4. Rafael dos Anjos (25-7) vs. Eddie Alvarez (27-4), lightweight title, UFC Fight NightIts hard to imagine that once upon a time dos Anjos was supposed to defend his lightweight title against McGregor in a champion vs. champion match. An unfortunate foot injury bounced RDA from that megafight at UFC 196, and the rest is pretty much history. On paper, the Brazilian looks like a relatively bad matchup for Alvarez, who has clawed his way into position with back-to-back split decisions against Gilbert Melendez and Anthony Pettis, the second of which some found questionable. What we have here, really, is a champion who has demolished five consecutive opponents going against a challenger who is widely known for his ability to take lumps and heroically find a way to get his hand raised. Makes for an interesting matchup.3. Daniel Cormier (17-1) vs. Jon Jones (22-1), light heavyweight unification, UFC 200Can Cormier do better than he did on Jan. 3, 2015? Thats what this comes down to. Their first fight was a grind, which can still be entertaining as long as its a competitive grind. But it really wasnt all that competitive. Cormier didnt get blown out, but he was never really in control, either. He ended up losing four of five rounds. If this fight is a repeat of that, it will be a bit of a buzzkill (like hearing someone describe the end of a great movie and then trying to watch start to finish). If we know how the marathon ends, the whole thing is a little less fun. If Cormier can hurt Jones, change the script from the first fight and make Jones look vulnerable, this fight instantly jumps to the top of the list.2. Joanna Jedrzejczyk (11-0) vs. Claudia Gadelha (13-1), female strawweight title, TUF 23 FinaleThere is talent (and young talent at that) in the UFCs 115-pound female division. Having said that, Gadelha might represent the only real threat to the velociraptor of pain that is Jedrzejczyk. The Polish champion is only 28. The only difficult fight of her career came against Gadelha in a split-decision win in December 2014. Really, the difference in that fight might have been a single punch, as Jedrzejczyk was able to knock Gadelha down in the closing seconds of a close first round that ultimately played huge in the scorecards. Gadelha is 27, so both of these women will be the cream of the crop of this division for years to come. There is probably some kind of additional storyline here involving these two as The Ultimate Fighter coaches as well, but Im willing to admit the only TUF I caught this season were a few fights I fast-forwarded to at the end of episodes.1. Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar, interim featherweight title, UFC 200As I mentioned in this weeks Five Rounds, Ive questioned some of Aldos actions in the aftermath of his 13-second loss to McGregor in December. Not that Im holding the Brazilian to some impossible standard when it comes to handling defeat, but simply from a publics perception perspective, I dont think he has done himself many favors. Chalking the knockout up as a completely lucky punch, saying he would fight McGregor anytime, anywhere ... only to decline a short-notice rematch at UFC 196. I understand his reasons for not wanting that fight on short notice, but then, just dont say anytime, anywhere. And then theres the social media post of an ominous-looking photograph of himself, calling McGregor out the night he lost to Diaz. Again, Aldo can do whatever he wants, but for a fighter who never really spoke up and talked much before, its just made me wonder how hes truly dealing with his first loss in 10 years. At UFC 200, well see if Aldo is still Aldo -- because if hes not, Edgar is running at a high enough octane right now to stomp him. I expect this to be a back-and-forth, give-and-take interim championship fight, and I do believe, unlike many others, theres still a good chance McGregor eventually returns to face the winner. ' ' '
