LONDON :English clubs are taking the Champions League by storm this season, powered by mighty spending muscle, with all six clubs riding high in the 36-team group phase at the halfway stage.

This week, for the second time in four rounds of fixtures, five Premier League clubs won, something no country had managed in a single game week before this season.

Four of the six reside in the top-eight which would provide automatic qualification for the last 16, while all six sit in the top 12. Of the combined 24 games they have played, 17 have resulted in wins with only three defeats.

Arsenal are second with 12 points, behind Bayern Munich on goals scored, and are the only club yet to concede a goal.
