Hector Bellerin of Arsenal looks dejected following the Premier League match between Arsenal and Crystal Palace They will be disappointed, they had a really good chance of winning the league. They have come up short again, Parlour told Sky Sports News HQ.He needs to make some big signings, there is no doubt about that. In the summer transfer window they need to go out and get these players to put them on to the next level like City and clubs like that because it is going to be such a competitive league next year. Parlour also revealed that Wenger will analyse the disappointing draw with Palace before turning his attention to the visit of West Brom, and thinks his former club are now in a battle for a Champions League place.He said: What he used to do - he didnt say a lot after the game - he would probably do it in training the following day, so hed watch and analyse the game on the video and then call a meeting before training and get your feedback. What went wrong? Whats going wrong with the team? Youve got to put it right. Ray Parlour won three Premier League titles with Arsenal Thursday is another big game for them, they have got to be careful now of that top four. At the moment they are in fourth place. Manchester United, West Ham and teams like that are hoping they fail on Thursday and they can close the gap so there is still a lot to play for to get into that top four.Parlour finished as a runner-up in the Premier League four times with Arsenal and believes a good pre-season is vital if a team is to have a successful campaign.

What can we improve on? You might have a few new faces there as well.Pre-season is very important - you always need a good start in the Premier League. A lot of clubs will need a good start next year. Liverpool under [Jurgen] Klopp with his new signings, Chelsea under a new manager, Pep Guardiola coming in, so a lot of clubs in the same position but certainly that is what they have to do. Wenger has been urged to make new signings in the summer Hell [Wenger] look around the dressing room and say to himself, have I got enough here to win the title?

CLEVELAND -- One bad pitch ended Corey Klubers two months of dominance.Marwin Gonzalez hit a hanging curveball from Kluber for a three-run homer in the second inning and the Houston Astros handed Clevelands ace his first loss since July 3, 4-3 on Tuesday night.Kluber (15-9) had won his previous seven decisions, a span during which he dominated the way he did while winning the AL Cy Young Award in 2014. But the right-hander had a bad string of six batters against the Astros, who have won the first two of four games between the playoff contenders.After a pair of uncharacteristic two-out walks in the second, Kluber got ahead of Gonzalez 0-2 before leaving a belt-high curve over the middle of the plate that the first baseman drilled into the right-field seats.I threw a bad curve, Kluber said, just one of them.And it was enough to send the AL Central-leading Indians, who maintained their 4 1/2-game lead over Detroit , just their second loss in eight games.Gonzalez added two doubles for Houston, a major league-best 13-4 since Aug. 19.Reliever James Hoyt (1-0) struck out two in 1 1/3 innings for his first major league win. The 29-year-old rookie replaced Brad Peacock, who was called up to replace injured Dallas Keuchel and made his first start since April 14, 2015.Carlos Santana homered in the eighth off Luke Gregerson to pull Cleveland within 4-2. The Indians scored an unearned run in the ninth and got the tying run to second before Ken Giles, Houstons fifth reliever, recorded his ninth save.The Indians have led their division for 95 consecutive days and Kluber has been a big reason why. The unflappable 30-year-old had not lost in over two months, and whenever his team needed a big outing, Kluber delivered. He was 7-0 with a 1.94 ERA in 11 starts since losing to Toronto in July -- before the All-Star break.It wasnt his best performance, manager Terry Francona said, but yet if not for a hanging 0-2 pitch he would have given up one (run). Hes pretty good.An atypical sequence led to Gonzalezs homer.After getting two outs, Kluber walked Evan Gattis and Colby Rasmus before quickly getting ahead of Gonzalez. Kluber tried to ssneak his curveball past Gonzalez, but he was ready for it.dddddddddddd was just trying to put the ball in play against one of the best pitchers in the game, but I put a good swing on it, Gonzalez said.The Indians, who couldnt score on Peacock in the first despite opening with a single and double, got a run back in the second on Tyler Naquins RBI groundout.But that missed opportunity haunted them.Obviously that was a big turn of events, Francona said. We have second and third and nobody out, dont score and then they come back with three. Thats a big turnaround.Houston went ahead 4-1 in the third on Alex Bregmans RBI triple off Kluber, who settled in and retired 15 of 17 before leaving after seven. He finished with nine strikeouts.An injury to Keuchel prevented the game from being a matchup of former Cy Young winners. The left-hander was sent back to Houston with shoulder inflammation, a significant setback to the clubs wild-card chances.FIFTH STARTERThe Indians are still trying to decide what to do with Josh Tomlin. The right-hander, who is 0-5 with an 11.47 ERA in his last six outings, had his start skipped Monday.Francona planned to meet with pitching coach Mickey Callaway and team president Chris Antonetti to devise a plan. The Indians used eight pitchers Monday night in a 6-2 loss.Tomlin said hes willing to do whatever the Indians need.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: C Yan Gomes (separated shoulder) is scheduled to be catching minor league games on his rehab assignment this weekend.
