If you follow sport in the United States and the United Kingdom, today’s search questions are easy to guess: what happened in that 4-4 at Old Trafford, who did the NFL’s trade deadline move, and who is in England’s squad for the Croatia and Spain games? Here is a clear round-up of the stories sports fans in the biggest English-speaking markets are talking about on Wednesday 11 November 2026.
A quick note on method: I built this list from news coverage, schedules and results, not from a live search-volume feed. It reflects what is dominating headlines, which is usually what people end up typing into Google.
1. Premier League: Manchester United 4-4 Aston Villa and a Wild Weekend
The biggest English football story is a draw that felt like a drama series. Manchester United twice came from two goals down to draw 4-4 with Aston Villa at Old Trafford, with Patrick Dorgu’s header in the 96th minute earning the point, as Sky Sports reports. Alysson scored inside a minute and Nicolas Jackson made it 2-0 by the fourth minute. Bruno Fernandes pulled one back with a penalty and Youri Tielemans equalised before half-time, but John McGinn’s penalty and Leon Goretzka’s goal put Villa 4-2 up. Substitutes Joshua Zirkzee and Dorgu then scored in stoppage time.
Michael Carrick called the goals United conceded “totally avoidable”, and Unai Emery said he was “angry, of course”. United remain in the relegation zone and have not won a Premier League game since August, even though they beat Roma in Europe, a result we covered in our Champions League results report. Searches like “Man United relegation” and “Dorgu goal” are likely to stay busy.
The rest of the weekend, as listed by Loh Sports, was just as eventful:
- Arsenal 1-0 Hull: Martin Ødegaard scored, and Arsenal lead the table by five points on 27.
- Nottingham Forest 3-1 Manchester City: Liam Delap scored twice, and City fell to third.
- Crystal Palace 1-3 Liverpool: Mac Allister, Wirtz and Isak scored, and Liverpool climbed to fourth.
- Brighton 2-0 Brentford: Brighton moved up to second against ten men.
- Sunderland 1-0 Chelsea: Enzo Le Fée scored a penalty.
- Leeds 1-0 Tottenham: Noah Okafor scored the winner.
Palace are bottom on seven points. A Yahoo Sports analysis notes that only the top three have won more than half their games, so the league looks unusually open. Check the official table for exact totals, because we have taken the points from a single round-up. Before the games, our 6 November preview listed the fixtures and team news.
Two other results stand out. Forest’s win was their first big result under Oliver Glasner and lifted them out of the relegation zone, while City were criticised for a poor defensive display. Liverpool were well served by goalkeeper Alisson, who made several key saves, and their win moved them into the top four. For readers who want a table snapshot, the same round-up has Arsenal on 27 points, Brighton on 22, City on 21 and Liverpool on 18, with Chelsea and Everton level on 16.
2. England vs Croatia and Spain: Tuchel’s Squad
With the Premier League paused, England fans are searching for the November internationals. England face Croatia on Thursday 12 November at 7.45pm, then Spain on Sunday 15 November at 5.30pm, according to Yahoo Sports. It is Thomas Tuchel’s second squad since the 2026 World Cup.
The squad includes goalkeepers Jordan Pickford, Jason Steele and James Trafford, and defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold, Marc Guéhi, Ezri Konsa, Ben White and Lewis Hall among others. In midfield are Declan Rice, Jude and Jobe Bellingham, Elliot Anderson and Myles Lewis-Skelly, and in attack are Harry Kane, Eberechi Eze, Anthony Gordon, Morgan Rogers and Rio Ngumoha. Fans will also look at the less familiar names, such as Josh King and Djed Spence. Our Ballon d’Or report covers Kane’s big night, and our earlier England vs Spain preview shows how these teams met in September. The source did not list injuries, so check the FA’s official news before kick-off.
3. NFL: Trade Deadline Fallout and Week 10
American football fans are searching two things: who moved at Tuesday’s trade deadline, and what Week 10 looks like. The biggest deal reported by Bleacher Report’s live blog is Jacksonville’s acquisition of defensive tackle Jordan Davis from the Eagles, who received a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick. The Jaguars also added safety Jessie Bates III and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux. Jonathan Taylor was not traded, even though the Colts reportedly took calls.
One report needs a caution. The Bengals were reported to be acquiring edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie from the Eagles for a sixth-round pick, but Pro Football Talk says they agreed and then called off the deal, so check the official transaction wire. PFT’s power rankings put Buffalo (7-1) first, ahead of Jacksonville (6-2) and San Francisco (7-1).
Week 10 opens tomorrow, as Crescent City Sports lists (all times ET):
- Thursday: Washington Commanders at New York Giants, 8.15pm on Prime Video.
- Munich: New England Patriots vs Detroit Lions, 9.30am on FOX, the NFL’s fifth straight season with a regular-season game in Germany.
- Vikings at Packers: 1pm on FOX, where Minnesota won the Week 1 meeting 39-22.
- Chiefs at Falcons: 1pm on CBS.
- Jaguars at Titans: 1pm on FOX.
- 49ers at Cowboys: 4.25pm on FOX.
- Steelers at Bengals: Sunday night, 8.20pm on NBC, with both teams 6-2 and tied atop the AFC North.
The source does not list the day for every game, so check NFL.com for the schedule. Expect “Lions vs Patriots Munich time” and “Steelers vs Bengals” to be popular searches. You can also revisit our earlier NFL Week 9 piece for the Jaguars’ win over Baltimore.
4. NBA: Reaves’ 43 and the Missing Stars
Basketball fans are still talking about Sunday’s slate, per a Eurohoops roundup:
- Lakers 121, Pistons 116: Austin Reaves scored 43 with Luka Doncic out.
- Heat 114, Kings 108: Giannis Antetokounmpo had 29 points and 14 rebounds, though he made just 1 of 7 free throws.
- 76ers 127, Bulls 121: Jaylen Brown scored 29 and LeBron James added 22.
- Mavericks 130, Nets 93: Cooper Flagg had 25 points and 12 assists.
- Celtics 117, Bucks 97: Paul George scored 27.
Anthony Edwards, Lauri Markkanen and Domantas Sabonis also sat out their games, but the report gives no reasons. Searches like “is Doncic playing tonight” and “Edwards injury” remain strong. Our NBA season preview explains the storylines.
