With a lack of Champions League football over the past week, there is no change at the top of our Power Rankings, with Manchester United still top dogs in Europe.

We take into account both domestic and European performances, plus the relative difficulty of each team's league, to find out who is the best team in Europe.

Alex Ferguson's side scraped past Derby at the weekend to maintain their position as the best team on the continent, while Barcelona could not capitalise on second-placed Arsenal's draw with Middlesbrough as the Catalans drew with Almeria to remain in third.

Serie A wins for Roma and Internazionale saw the Italian pair hang onto fourth and fifth respectively, while over in Spain Sevilla's win over Valencia saw them climb into eighth.

Everton's defeat to lowly Fulham sees the Toffees slip into 10th, despite their midweek UEFA Cup win over Fiorentina, while the weekend's CIS Insurance Cup final - which does not count towards our rankings - means Rangers tumble to 20th, despite claiming their first silverware of the season.

HOW IT WORKS

Scores are based on points per game in domestic league and European games.

Domestic points per game are multiplied by the league coefficient - either 4, 4.5 or 5 - with teams in stronger leagues getting more credit.

Champions League (or Super Cup) victories are counted from the third qualifying round onward as three points for a win and multiplied by a coefficient of 5.

UEFA Cup victories are counted from the first round as three points for a win and multiplied by a coefficient of 4.

Domestic and European totals are then added together. If a side has played in both Champions League and UEFA Cup, its European total is an average of the two scores.

League coefficients:

England, Spain, Italy = 5

Germany, Portugal, France = 4.5

Others = 4

Example: Manchester United

67 points from 29 Premier League games = 2.31 points per game.

Multiplied by league coefficient of five - 2.31 x 5 = 11.55

20 points from 8 Champions League games (including qualifying) = 2.50 points per game.

Multiplied by Champions League coefficient of five - 12.50

Total score = 11.55 + 12.50 = 24.05
