A day late on the table update, but better late than never. It was another great week of action in the EPL, Serie A and the start of the MLS Playoffs. Here how the current standings look:

MLS:
 - Past week's results - The MLS playoffs started with the first leg in the quarterfinal home-and-away series. The action started with a 0-0 draw between Houston and Seattle in front of over 35,000. Saturday night Real Salt Lake continue their lucky run (after squeaky into the playoffs last week) with a 1-0 win over the 2008 champions Columbus. New England topped Chicago 2-1, while the Galaxy and Chivas ended in a 2-2 draw in the first ever playoff Super Clasico. 
- Here is the schedule for the second leg of the quarterfinals:
  • Real Salt Lake at Columbus - Thursday - 8pm - ESPN2HD
  • New England at Chicago - Saturday - 8:30pm - FSC
  • Seattle at Houston - Sunday - 3:00pm - Telefutura

EPL:
Past week's results - Arsenal reminded Tottenham why they've been in the top 4 for the past decade with a 3-0 win on ESPN2 - Bolton was crushed by Chelsea 4-0 - Fulham got a 3-1 victory over Liverpool, who continues to struggle this season - Portsmouth had they best match of the season with a 4-0 result against Wigan
Current EPL Table - The top 3 stayed the same with Chelsea, ManU and Arsenal keeping their usual place in the table - Man City jumped Tottenham and Liverpool into the 4th spot, and with a game in hand - Fulham climbed into 11th with their victory over Liverpool - Portsmouth win couldn't get them out of the bottom of the table, but it did move them within 3 points of getting out of the relegation zone. 

Serie A:
Past weekend's results - Saturday saw AC Milan continue their great form with a 2-0 win over Parma, while they saw rival Juventus drop 3 points to Napoli 3-2 - The rest of the league fell into historical patterns with Inter, Sampdoria and Roma all earning victories.
Current Serie A Table - The four now more closely resemble what many would have expected at the start of the season with Inter, Juventus, Sampdoria, and AC Milan holding the UEFA Champions League spots - Fiorentina and Napoli sit 5th and 6th respectively - Catania and Seina remain at the bottom of the table, each still with only 1 win on the season (out of 11 matches).

Also, look for a Champions League update later on this week.
