Man City and Arsenal are joint top. Huil impress at Chelsea, Spurs can't score and centre halves sometimes score absolute screamers.
But sadly, the headlines are all about VAR...again. This time an 'error of judgment' is the reason Haaland's fine finish was not disallowed at Old Trafford.
A quick assessment of where we're at with VAR before a look at a new attacking approach from Enzo Maresca and a lack lustre response from Man Utd.
Arsenal win again, is it too early to consider an unbeaten season...if not, who beats them?
Unai Emery has his work cut out at Villa, can he rebuild his team?
Are Hull City over achieving or were their players just underrated?
What's the best goal you've sen scored by a centre back and last but not least Tottenham play Liverpool on Tuesday in the EFL Cup is it too soon for either club to be worried...?
Tom Clarke joins Alyson Rudd, James Gheerbrant Peter Rutzler.
