MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester City rode its luck in beating Crystal Palace 1-0 to move provisionally top of the English Premier League, while Manchester United won by the same score at Norwich to stay in the title picture on Saturday. The Manchester giants dipped into their reserves for a second game in three days and produced disjointed displays that were rescued by second-half winners. Edin Dzekos 66th-minute goal maintained Citys record of scoring in every home game in more than three years -- a run of 60 matches -- and lifted the team two points above Arsenal, which plays Newcastle on Sunday. Danny Welbeck came off the bench to score a fortuitous winning goal for United in the 57th minute at Carrow Road, earning the champions -- missing injured striker Wayne Rooney -- a fourth straight league win. Hull thrashed third-to-bottom Fulham 6-0 and last-place Sunderland scored twice in the final seven minutes to draw 2-2 at Cardiff, which fired manager Malky Mackay on Friday. West Ham will also be in the bottom three going into 2014 after twice squandering a lead in a 3-3 draw with West Bromwich Albion, and Aston Villa drew 1-1 with Swansea. Citys 10th league win from 10 matches at Etihad Stadium in this campaign was far from straightforward, with Manuel Pellegrinis decision to make six changes from the 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Thursday disrupting Citys attacking rhythm. Most pundits title favourites relied on Dzekos finish from Jesus Navas cut-back to eke out three points against a Palace side that has tightened up since the appointment of defensive-minded Tony Pulis as manager in November. "It was a hard game, maybe the toughest at this stadium in the Premier League this season," said Dzeko, who scored his 50th City goal. "It was the last game of 2013 and we wanted to finish with a win." City goalkeeper Joe Hart played with a gash under his left eye after a collision with Palace striker Cameron Jerome in the first half, but that didnt stop him producing some fine saves after the break to preserve Citys perfect home record. "I think the team that wants to win the title must have different faces," said Pellegrini, whose team is unbeaten in its last 11 games in all competitions. United was without Rooney and Robin van Persie for the first time this season, and manager David Moyes started Welbeck as a substitute for his and the teams third game in eight days. The England strikers halftime introduction energized United and he pounced when a clearance from Ryan Bennett deflected into his path, rounding goalkeeper John Ruddy to slot home. "He changed the game when he came on," Moyes said. "He is doing very well, and we need everybody to chip in with goals when Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie are out." United is provisionally sixth in the standings, two points off the top four. Hulls thrashing of sorry Fulham was notable for the eye-catching celebration by Tom Huddlestone, who marked his first goal since 2011 by letting club physio Rob Price cut off a piece of his hair on the sideline. The midfielder had pledged not to cut his hair until he scored again. Fulham has looked an improved side under new manager Rene Meulensteen but this defeat -- its worst in the Premier League era -- was a major setback against a team which has often struggled for goals this season. "Im shocked," Meulensteen said. "I dont know if there was something in the tea. I did not see that coming and the players did not see that coming." All of Hulls goals came in the second half, with captain Robert Koren scoring twice and Ahmed El Mohamady, George Boyd and Matt Fryatt also netting. West Ham was denied victory by Saido Berahinos 69th-minute goal at Upton Park. Former France striker Nicolas Anelka scored twice for West Brom and appeared to celebrate his first by performing an anti-Semitic salute used by French comedian Dieudonne Mbala Mbala. Jewish groups in France have linked the "la quenelle" gesture -- which they claim is a Nazi salute in reverse -- to anti-Semitic incidents in the country. "It is dedicated to a French comedian he knows very, very well," West Bromwich Albion coach Keith Downing said of Anelkas celebration. "He uses it in his act and I think speculation (that it is anti-Semitic) can be stopped now, it is absolute rubbish really." Custom Pittsburgh Pirates Nike Jerseys .

Custom Chicago Cubs Nike Jerseys .com) - The Hatch Attack is back in the Southern Conference.INDIANAPOLIS - Andrew Luck hears the instructions every week.Avoid turnovers.Get the ball to his cast of playmakers.Win at home.Its been a proven plan for years in the NFL, and now, after blowing a 14-point second-half lead in their home opener two weeks ago, the Colts franchise quarterback knows his team cannot afford another misstep on its home turf. Especially against a division rival.You have to win your home games and protect that turf, Luck said. We take that to heart and we know we need to get back on the right track.Indy (1-2) took one step last week by beating up on winless Jacksonville to snap the first two-game losing streak of Lucks career.Now comes reeling Tennessee (1-2), which is 0-6 at Lucas Oil Stadium.On paper, Sundays game looks as if its two teams going in opposite directions.Luck seems to be getting in sync, having reduced his interception total in each of the first three weeks while taking the league lead in touchdown passes (nine).The Colts ground game has provided balance, the makeshift offensive line is playing with more cohesiveness, they are coming off their first turnover-free game of the season. And a defence that limited Peyton Manning to seven second-half points and Philadelphia to six first-half points put together its most complete game against the Jaguars.The Titans defence, meanwhile, has allowed 59 points in two straight losses after opening the season with a win over Kansas City.Things arent about to get any easier.For the second straight week, Tennessee faces a defending division champ on the road, this time potentially without starting quarterback Jake Locker who injured the wrist on his throwing arm.But coach Ken Whisenhunt is more concerned with making corrections.I think we need to cut penalties out. Weve had way too many of those, Whisenhunt said when asked about fixing the defence. Weve got to play better, as far as some of the technique things that were doing to try and keep teams from having sustained drives on us.The Colts will try to get back to the basics of Chuck Paganos hometown plan.Weve got to stack wins together, Luck said. We dug ourselves a bit of a hole with those ffirst two weeks, but I think were on the right track.dddddddddddd Hopefully, we can keep this momentum going.Here are some other things to watch Sunday.THE LOCKER ROOM: Whisenhunt and Titans doctors will closely monitor Lockers health before making a decision. Locker completes 56.4 per cent of his passes and is tied for the league high in interceptions (four). If he doesnt play, longtime journeyman but little-used Charlie Whitehurst would likely make his fifth career start. Whitehurst hasnt thrown a pass since 2011 and has a career completion rate of 54.2 and more interceptions (four) than touchdowns (three).DIVISION CHASE: Sure, its early, but the Colts are already in the midst of a key four-week stretch with three games against AFC South foes. A sweep would allow the Colts to take control of the division race. And it could happen. Indy has won eight straight over division opponents, the longest active streak in the league. Against Tennessee, the Colts have been even better a€” winning five straight and 10 of the past 11.SLOW STARTS: A year ago, Indy had to perpetually dig itself out of slow starts. Now, its the Titans turn. Tennessee has been outscored 16-0 and 19-0 in the first half of its past two games, and if the Titans fall behind early again Sunday, it will only compound the potential problems for a team that wont be at full strength a€” with or without Locker.GROUND CHUCK: Pagano has the one-two punch in the ground game. Ahmad Bradshaw is healthy, running hard and catching passes. Trent Richardson has shown steady improvement. The combination has allowed Indy to rush for 313 yards over the past two weeks. Tennessees struggling run defence must find a way to slow down the suddenly efficient Colts.WAYNES MILESTONES: Reggie Wayne could turn this weeks game into another personal showcase. He needs three receptions to pass Isaac Bruce for seventh on the NFLs career list, 24 yards receiving to pass Henry Ellard for No. 10 all time. A three-catch day would extend Waynes NFL record to 75 straight games, and it could all come in his 200th game.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
