Episode Notes

Man City looked worth every penny of the money spent on them as they beat Liverpool at Anfield. But the result left a strange taste as many wondered what it meant. Is the integrity of the league at stake as all results involving Man City have an asterix until the punishment is announced. Could city 'win' the league only to then be relegated?

Liverpool had a front line including two hundred million pound players, neither produced. How worried should the club be about Florian Wirtz?

Jordan Henderson showed he wasn't just a 'vibes' signing when he scored twice and brought some calm to Chelsea's midfield.

Fulham contrived to lose again, Palace nicked three points and Brighton continue to impress.

Spurs took a lot of encouragement from a ten man draw with Man Utd. Not so Manchester United though - six points from the opening six games and a team lacking identity...how much pressure is Michael Carrick under?

And six games in the table has a refreshing look with Brentford and Brighton in the top four and Hull in 8th...can it last?
