Episode Notes

Pierre Sage at Palace and Michael Carrick at Man Utd are both under severe pressure, could one or both go in the international break.

With both teams facing squads either underpowered or assembled by multiple managers will a change in the dugout make any difference?

Oliver Glasner and Regis Le Bris had big wins to ease the pressure on them and place the spotlight on there opposite numbers in Enzo Maresca and Xabi Alonso

The Sunderland and Forest wins were both spearheaded by 'powerhouse centre forward' displays; hats off to Brian Brobbey and Liam Delap

Is it time to give credit to Leeds' Daniel Farke and their defensive solidity? Arsenal look easy at the top, who cares about flare and Brighton march on.

Gregor Robertson James Gheerbrant and Tom Allnutt join Tom Clarke
