Good point for West Ham. They were hanging on a bit at the end but that is two good points earned against Tottenham last week and Man City today.

Yes, they hung on a bit at the end but they've had a decent start to the season. They also thumped Wolves 4-0 and Leicester 3-0

Well, Man United versus Chelsea was an awful watch. Two bang average looking teams this season which is a ridiculous statement when you think about the talent both teams possess.

Man United, Chelsea and Man City look content on a mid-table battle this season going by current form.

Chelsea should have had a penalty. Maguire had his hands all over Azpilicueta.

Not sure what VAR was looking at! Ridiculous decision. Poor game over all.

Pickford on the bench today for Everton, an interesting move by Ancelotti.

Robin Olsen will make his debut in goal

Big win for Arsenal.

Man United in the bottom 6. Already 9 points behind Liverpool

Chelsea are beginning to gel better now.

There's no excuse for them not to put a sustained title challenge this year. They have been given a pass over the last few years with a few players leaving and a transfer ban but they have all of the attributes to be a title winning team. Top defence (new goalkeeper looks good), scoring goals for fun and a very strong squad. Possibly the strongest squad in the league and that should be massive for the season that it is. Big pressure on them. No excuses would be accepted if the are not seriously in the race come April

Biggest league game of the season so far between Man City and Liverpool.

Could go either way, both teams have had their chances. Man City have missed a penalty too.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has just gone off injured for Liverpool which will be a big loss.

I can't really get into football this year, every game is more like a training game when there is no fans or atmosphere in the stadiums.

 

[Dylan]

The whole thing has gotten rather sloppy.

More chance of a winner through a mistake rather than a moment if brilliance now.

 

[Franco Pinion]

Kyle Walker is a liability. Good result for Liverpool. City needed the win and slipped up. Enjoyable game overall even if the second half was limited

Aton Villa thumping Arsenal 3-0 at The Emirates! This crazy season continues.
