This week, Martin Tylers column looks at teams on the longest winning runs against Premier League rivals and reveals the side with the most away points on 2015... How to send your questions to MartinTweet @SkyFootball using the hashtag #TylersTeasers Martins starting statsI was at the Liberty Stadium to witness Swanseas third win in a row in the league over Manchester United and their fourth win in their last five against them - all by a scoreline of 2-1.This time they came from behind, just as they did in February when Bafetimbi Gomis also scored the winner. Ki Sung-yueng scored in both league games last year and was in the Sunderland League Cup semi-final side that beat United in 2013/14. They wont have been too pleased to see him when he came on!Swansea join Manchester City as the only club to have won both their home games so far in the Premier League this season. Gomis became only the second player to score in the first four games of a season for Swansea and the first in the top division. The only other was Harry Deacon, who did it in 1923 in the Third Division South. Gomis has scored nine in his last 10 Premier League appearances, having scored two in his first 25 when he had to play second fiddle to Wilfried Bony and didnt always start.In contrast, Wayne Rooney has failed to score in his last 10 in the Premier League and only once in the last 17 months away from home in the Premier League - at Arsenal. He has not scored in his last 15 away games.On a positive note he took his tally of career club goals to 250 with his hat-trick against Club Brugge and is on 48 England goals. He could break Bobby Charltons England record on Saturday and also rack up 300 for club and country.Slow starters Jose Mourinhos Chelsea side have managed just four points from their opening four games this season Chelsea have four points from four games… has a team ever done that and won the title? MarcusMARTIN SAYS: It has been done before, but not since the first-ever Premier League season in 1992/93, when Manchester United mustered the same amount from their opening four games yet still went on to lift the title.That year, United lost their opener at Sheffield United and were beaten again at home to Everton, but recovered with a point against Ipswich then nicked a win at Southampton to begin a run of five straight victories to kick-start their triumphant campaign. It was obviously a 42-game season so they had more games to put it right.Sir Alex Fergusons side also managed to win the title twice after winning just FIVE points from their opening four games, in 2007/08 and 2008/09, and did the same winning just SIX points in 1996/97.No side, however, have claimed the Premier League title after managing six points or fewer from their opening five games of the season, something Chelsea may want to keep in mind when they travel to Everton in their next Premier League match!Serial winners Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Arsenal celebrate beating Newcastle Arsenal have now won eight in a row against Newcastle. Whos on the longest winning run against a fellow Premier League side? GunnerRick1985MARTIN SAYS: Arsenals run of eight wins in a row against Newcastle is the joint-third longest run still going in the Premier League.Manchester City currently lead the way with 11 in a row against Newcastle (January 2009-present), and Manchester United have won their last 10 against Charlton Athletic (September 2002-present) - although the Addicks havent been in the Premier League since their relegation in 2007.Chelsea and Man City also sit alongside Arsenal on a run of eight consecutive wins against Bolton (relegated in 2012) and West Brom respectively.In terms of longest winning runs in Premier League history, Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 13 times in a row (December 2005 - December 2011), a streak ended by the Latics with a 1-0 win at home in April 2012.The Red Devils also won 11 games in a row against Aston Villa (2003-08), while Chelsea (Sunderland from 2002-10; West Brom from 2002-11) and Arsenal (Manchester City 1994-04) have also both matched that total.Seeing red West Hams Mark Noble was sent off against Liverpool on Saturday West Ham have picked up three red cards in their opening four games… is this a record? TimPottsMARTIN SAYS: West Hams record of three reds in their first four Premier League games equals Leicesters indisciplined start to the 2003/04 season.The Foxes avoided a red card in their opening game of that campaign, but then saw Alan Rogers and Riccardo Scimeca sent off in a 2-1 defeat at Chelsea. They finished their next game with 11 men on the pitch, before Les Ferdinand was dismissed as they lost their fourth 3-1 at Aston Villa.This season, the Hammers managed to avoid a red card in their opener, but goalkeeper Adrian, right-back Carl Jenkinson and midfielder Mark Noble (whose red card has been rescinded) have been sent off in their last three (and thats on top of three red cards in the Europa League - which they qualified for through fair play).However, the side that reached three red cards in the shortest time was Arsenal, who saw a red card in each of their first three games of the 2011/12 season: Gervinho in their goalless opener with Newcastle, Emmanuel Frimpong as they lost 2-0 to Liverpool, then Jenkinson when they were thrashed 8-2 at Manchester United.Away-day specialists Joel Ward and Crystal Palace celebrate winning 2-1 at Chelsea Which Premier League side has the most away points in 2015? Melvin (Crystal Palace fan)MARTIN SAYS: No team in the Premier League has picked up more points away from home in 2015 than your club, Crystal Palace.The Eagles have 25 points from 11 games in the calendar year so far, level with Arsenal. The two sides have won eight, drawn one and lost just two, but Palace have scored four more goals (21) than the Gunners (17), with both conceding 10.It must be frustrating for you Melvin that one of the reasons Arsenal are level is because six of those 25 points have come AT Crystal Palace!Chelsea have the next best away record in 2015, with 22 points (seven wins, one draw and three defeats) while Liverpool have mustered 19 points in the same time frame, although they have played 12 games on the road (five wins, four draws and three defeats).Swansea and Manchester United have both managed 18 points, but Garry Monks side have played 12 games (five wins, three draws and four defeats) to Uniteds 11 (five wins, three draws and three defeats).Shot-shy sides Watford striker Troy Deeney and his side have struggled for goals so far Whats the longest a team has gone without a shot on target? Newcastle havent had one in their last two matches. John OHareMARTIN SAYS: Watford have also failed to register a shot on target in their last two Premier League games.No team since the 2006/07 season has gone three consecutive games without a shot on target.Portsmouth (2006), Hull City (2009), Everton (2011) and Sunderland (2012) have all gone two games without managing to get a shot on goal, but Newcastle and Watford could both make it to three.Newcastle travel to West Ham for Monday Night Football live on Sky Sports on September 14 in search of a shot on target, after failing to do so against Manchester United and Arsenal, and I will be commentating on it. I hope for lots of shots on target from both teams! Also See: Premier League video Fixtures Table Live on Sky Get Sky Sports Nike Flex Shoes Sale .

Wheeler said Kane was just making a joke that was misunderstood and misinterpreted by "Winnipeg folks" and the media once again. Wheeler repeated that he believes Kane is a player who has the ability to help the Jets get to the next level as they try once again to reach the playoffs in 2014. He made the comments initially in an interview, when asked how the Jets could compete in the Central Division with teams that have made some high-profile off-season signings.PORTLAND, Ore. - Not again. That must be what the Chicago Bulls are thinking after Derrick Rose limped off the court Friday night with another knee injury. Rose injured his right knee in the third quarter and the All-Star guard, who sat out last season following surgery on his other knee, did not return during a 98-95 loss to the streaking Portland Trail Blazers. Rose will have an MRI in Los Angeles on Saturday. "He was in pain and felt like he couldnt push off his right knee," Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau said. Rose was on crutches in the training room but was not made available to the media after the Bulls squandered a 21-point lead in their second consecutive loss. The 2011 NBA MVP led Chicago with 20 points, five rebounds and three assists, but was assisted off the court with 3:20 remaining in the third quarter. He lost his footing while trying to change direction to get back on defence when Nicolas Batum stole a pass from Joakim Noah and started the other way. Rose limped across the court and couldnt put any weight on his knee. After the Blazers scored, he came out of the game during a timeout. It didnt appear there was any contact on the play, but Rose was unable to return. "Im concerned," Thibodeau said. "Anytime anyone goes down, youre concerned. But I dont want to speculate until I have more information." Rose tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the 2012 playoffs and missed last season while recovering from surgery. The top pick in the 2008 draft and a three-time All-Star, he was averaging 15.4 points this season. "Hopefully, its nothing serious," teammate Taj Gibson said. "Hes a strong guy. He worked extremely hard this summer trying to get his body right, working out every day." Wesley Matthews had a season-high 28 points and Damian Lillard added 20 to help the Blazers run their winning streak to nine games. Batum scored 17 points for Portland, on its longest winning streak since the 2007-08 seasonn.dddddddddddd Robin Lopez had 13 points and 16 rebounds. LaMarcus Aldridge added 13 points on 4-of-20 shooting. Carlos Boozer had 16 points and Luol Deng added 15 points and 14 rebounds for Chicago. The game was tied at 88 before Kirk Hinrich made two baskets to give the Bulls a 95-91 lead with 3 minutes left. But then Batum knocked down a 3-pointer, Matthews hit a jumper and Aldridge made two free throws to pull it out for the Blazers. The Bulls led by 21 in the second quarter but were outscored 34-9 in the third as Portland stormed back and took the lead. "We knew if Chicago continued unopposed, it was going to get embarrassing out there," Lopez said. Portland was coming off a 4-0 road trip that included a 97-87 win over Milwaukee on Wednesday, but the Blazers looked as though they were going to get blown out in the first half. Chicago jumped out to an early lead and was up 48-27 late in the second quarter before taking a 59-44 advantage into the break. Aldridge was barely a factor, missing nine of his 10 field goal attempts in the first half. Portland came out strong in the third, erasing the deficit and taking the lead when Mo Williams hit a 3-pointer. The Blazers entered the final quarter with a 78-71 advantage. Portland shot 51 per cent in the quarter while Chicago was 4 for 12. "We didnt change any schemes," Portland coach Terry Stotts said. "We just played harder, played better, played with more focus, more intensity, more attitude." The Bulls had won five straight before losing to Denver 97-87 on Thursday night in the opener of a six-game road trip. NOTES: Bulls G-F Jimmy Butler sat out a second game with turf toe and will miss the entire road trip. Butler and Matthews were teammates at Marquette. ... Portland has won 10 of the last 12 matchups with Chicago at home. ... Aldridge was drafted No. 2 overall by the Bulls in 2006 but got traded on draft day to Portland for Victor Khryapa and the draft rights to Tyrus Thomas. ' ' '
