ast, Chelseas current goal difference is identical to their title-winning season in 2013/14 which could suggest a return to yesteryear under new boss Antonio Conte. Arsenal have won two of their titles with fewer point

Kent 379 and 32 for 0 trail Derbyshire 574 for 9 dec (Madsen 163, Thakor 123, Hughes 83, Rutherford 65) by 163 runsScorecard There was little evidence at Canterbury to support the notion that Kent are vigorous promotion candidates despite their lofty position in the table. Derbyshire, without a win all season, drank their fill on a benign pitch against a threadbare attack before calling off their first innings with a lead of 195 and the last pair at the crease.Wayne Madsen and Shiv Thakor took hundreds off Kent in the corresponding fixture in Derby in May, and did so again, a feat thought by David Griffin, former Board member, freelance photographer and statistician, to be unique in Derbyshires history.They were a watchable combination: Madsen neat and orderly for his 163, Thakor displaying nimble footwork and wristy ambition as he contributed 123. Their stand of 144 in 37 overs dominated the third day.Whether Derbyshire will force victory, though, is highly dubious. Their declaration came with only 15 overs left in the day, hardly enterprising with rain forecast for the final afternoon. Kents pace bowler Mitch Claydon, fielding at third man, was heard to ask: 163 overs! I dont think Ive ever fielder for 163 overs. Why? Such are the philosophical questions that concern fast bowlers with 30 overs next to their name.Derbyshire are expected be a bowler light after Will Davis broke down in the first innings with a recurrence of a hip injury. In fading light, Kent saw out the final hour without alarm.Madsen, whose innings ended when he played across one from Matt Hunn, has 22 Derbyshire hundreds now, a number beaten by only four players - Kim Barnett, now the countys president; the casually talented John Morris; the New Zealander John Wright, a batsman of ungainly defiance; and the dapper South African, Peter Kirsten.Only Kirsten has scored his hundreds at a faster rate than Madsens one every 9.2 innings, although four-day cricket has had an influence on that, not forgetting the lack of world-class fast bowlers these days, especially in Division Two. Kent did little to challenge that notion.Thakors switch from Leicestershire to Derbyshire at the end of 2014 felt a bit of a sideways move, and his form last season was unspectacular. At 22, he has progressed this summer. This was his fourth Championship century and it was fun to watch, with all manner of little flourishes going on after he has played the shot.Seventy-five of his runs came off the spinners, James Tredwell and Joe Denly, both of them treated as a convenience, his hundred raised when he struck Tredwell for a straight six. He was dropped by Alex Blake at extra cover and long-off, soon after his hundred, in successive overs off Darren Stevens and Tredwell, eventually succumbing when he chipped to mid-on.The absence of one Kent pace bowler has already been remarked upon. Up on the dressing room balcony, as the players came off for tea, Matt Coles offered desultory applause and failed to stifle a sizeable yawn. Under scrutiny because of his drink-fuelled antics in Cardiff last week, he had a ponderous training session over lunch, and later sat on an exercise bike, but it did not endear him to every member. Look at the size of him, said one.Coles career is at a critical point and it would be regrettable if his issues are not seriously addressed by all parties, beginning with himself, because he is a good and entertaining cricketer.

Chuck Foreman Jersey .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons.Has any team won the Premier League from Manchester Uniteds position? Can Liverpool keep conceding goals and take the title? And will Sunderland pull off a Premier League first if they stay up? Weve looked back at Premier League tables over the last 24 years to see how this years standings after 11 games compare to previous seasons. Read on to see what the omens are for your club... POINTSIts bad news for Manchester United, who are currently eighth in the league with 18 points. They havent won any of their 13 Premier League titles with fewer than 19 points at week 11.Meanwhile, Liverpool are currently top of the league with 26 points. The Reds have only ever been top of the Premier League at week 11 once before in 2002/03, but finished that season in fifth after going on an 11-game winless streak during this period that year. Man Utd vs Arsenal November 19, 2016, 11:30am Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass There are positive omens for Arsenal, though, who have been crowned Premier League champions three times. In two of those seasons the Gunners had fewer points than their current 24 (19 in 2001/02 and 23 in 1997/98).Manchester City have slipped to third in the league with 24 points from 11 games, seven points shy of their tally at the same stage during their title-winning season in 2011/12 - but five more than 2013/14, when they won their last Premier League crown.Bournemouth and Leicester City have 12 points from 11 games, which means a repeat fairytale at the King Power, or a new one at Dean Court, is extremely unlikely. The biggest table climb from week 11 to a league title was Manchester City from eighth place to champions in 2013/14. Everton are equal on points with Manchester United, ahead on goal difference. But top-four finishes for both teams seem unlikely, with the average team on 18 points finishing around ninth place. Teams with 18 points at this stage - such as Everton - finish ninth on average Burnley and Watford fans will be relieved to know of the 277 teams to have had 14 points or more after 11 games, only seven of them have ended up being relegated, which translates to a slim two per cent chance of an immediate return to the Championship for both clubs.Stoke and West Brom are both on 13 points, which history suggests gives a ceiling season finish of sixth, previously achieved by Aston Villa (2003/04), Everton (1995/96) and Liverpool (1992/93).Sunderland are currently stranded at the bottom of the league on five points, while Swansea sit in 19th place with the same results (W1, D2, L8) and points but a superior goal difference. However, there is hope for supporters of the Black Cats and Swans: Crystal Palace only had four points at this stage in 2013 but ended the season 11th in the league.GAMES WON AND LOSTLiverpool have won eight games this season - only eight eventual Premier League champions have had more at this stage. In contrast, Manchester United had just five wins after 11 games in 1992/93, 1996/97 and 2002/03 before going on to win the title. Arsenal also only had five wins at week 11 in 2001/02 before lifting the trophy.Tottenham are the only unbeaten side in the Premier League this season - but their record has been tarnished with six draws. No team has ever drawn six or more games in their first 11 and ended up winning the league. Tottenham have drawn six of their first 11 games - no team has done that and won the league before Liverpool matched Tottenhams W5, D6, L0 start to the season in 2007/08 and Nottingham Forest did the same in 1995/96, with the teams finishing fourth and ninth, respectively.However, Manchester United had drawn five games at this stage in 2010/11 and went on to win the league, as did Arsenal in 1997/98. West Ham have already lost six games - but a top half finish is still on West Ham have lost six games this season after a dismal start to life at the London Stadium, as have Capital neighbours Crystal Palace. But that doesnt mean a top-half finish is out of the picture. Fellow Londoners Chelsea had an identical set of results at this stage last season (W3, D2, L6). They sacked Jose Mourinho five games later and ended the season in 10th.Sunderland and Swansea have only won one game this season. In total, 21 teams have onlyy recorded one victory by week 11, of which only Southampton in 1993/94 escaped relegation with an identical set of results as the Black Cats and Swans.ddddddddddddGOALS FORLiverpool have scored 30 goals this season, which has only been surpassed on four occasions: Manchester United in 2000/01 (31 goals), Arsenal in 2004/05 (31) and 2009/10 (36), and Manchester City in 2011/12 (39).The good omen for Liverpool is that both Manchester clubs went on to win the league, while Arsenal only managed a second and third-place finish, respectively. On only four occassions has a Premier League team scored more than Liverpool at this stage - two of those teams won the league Sunderlands meagre goal tally of nine this season is not unusual throughout Premier League history, with 84 clubs recording nine goals or fewer at week 11 since 1992.Manchester City hold the record for fewest goals scored at week 11, having only notched three goals in 1995 before being relegated.GOALS AGAINSTDespite topping the league and scoring more goals than any other club, Liverpools title hopes could be dented by their defensive record.The Reds have now conceded 14 goals - only four clubs have won the league after conceding that number or more at week 11. Only 19 teams in Premier League history have conceded more than Hull at this stage - nine were relegated In contrast, Tottenham have only conceded six goals this season, a record only matched or surpassed by 20 teams over the last 24 years. However, the average league-ending position for those teams was fourth.At the other end of the table, Hull City will be concerned at the number of goals they have leaked after a positive start to life back in the Premier League. The Tigers have now conceded 24 goals, a tally only matched or surpassed by 19 other teams in history - of which nine were relegated.GOAL DIFFERENCEIn terms of goal difference, there is more misery for the leagues current bottom three, Sunderland, Swansea and Hull. Of the 41 teams that have registered -11 goals or fewer, only 18 have avoided relegation that season.Goal difference has not tended to have considerable bearing on the eventual champions, with 16 out of the previous 24 champions recording a lower goal difference at week 11 than Liverpools current +16 and Chelseas +17.At this stage last season, Leicester were third in the league and had a slender goal difference of just +4 - the lowest ever recorded by eventual champions. This season, the Foxes have the worst ever record for defending champions with a -5 goal difference. The last time Chelsea had a +17 goal difference at this stage of a season they won the Premier League Chelsea have the best goal difference this season with +17, the 13th-highest ever recorded at this stage of the season. The Blues will be pleased to know that the last time they had a +17 goal difference, they won the league in 2014/15.Manchester United recorded a staggering +29 goal difference after 11 games during their title-winning 2011/12 season. However, this season they have only managed +3 - and no team has ever won the league with fewer than +4.At the other end of the scale, Derby (2007/08), Sheffield Wednesday (1999/00) and Barnsley (1997/98) all recorded an all-time low of -19 at 11 weeks - all three clubs were ultimately relegated.THE OUTLOOKSo Liverpool need to curtail their lacklustre record at the back to help secure their first Premier League title, while Manchester Citys lull doesnt spell doom for Pep Guardiolas side if their 2013/14 campaign is anything to go by.The title appears to be beyond Manchester United, unless Jose Mourinho can inspire a record comeback chase for points. In contrast, Chelseas current goal difference is identical to their title-winning season in 2013/14 which could suggest a return to yesteryear under new boss Antonio Conte. Arsenal have won two of their titles with fewer points at week 11 than they have now Arsenal have won two of their titles with fewer points at week 11 than they have now, while Spurs tendency to draw games could suggest another season behind their north London rivals.The season looks bleak for the leagues current bottom three, as 24 years of Premier League history suggests the odds are against Sunderland, Swansea and Hull to escape relegation.
