Hello and welcome to the game football podcast from The Times. Arsenal four clear at the top of the table but below them the chaos continues. Another defeat for Liverpool as they fall seven points behind the leaders with Manchester City and Chelsea also losing. More impressive wins for Bournemouth, Sunderland, Manchester United and Brentford.

We'll look at all of that and important victories down the bottom for Leeds and Burnley too.

I'm Tom Clark and joining me today we have the senior sports writer and Sunday Times colonist Alison Rudd.

The football reporter who covers clubs in the south of England, including Chelsea, is Pete Rutzler, and the former footballer-turned journalist Gregor-Robson. It's here, as usual, team. The chaotic season continues. I absolutely love it. It's absolutely brilliant. You don't know where to turn. Your fantasy football team is completely crap. It's absolutely fantastic. You cannot predict a single thing that is coming out of the Premier League at the minute.

So I wanted to start with a question for all of you to help us structure this show.

What was the most significant result of the weekend?

I've listed a lot of teams there, wins, defeats.

What was the most significant result at the weekend?

I'll go round the table, Pete, starting with you. Burnley beating wolves. Interesting. Very quickly, why? Because of what it means for both teams. Wolves, winless in nine. That's a ridiculous record about the number of teams who've not won their first nine games in top flight. Barry in 1904 and Sunderland twice in 2015. Yeah, an amazing stand. I saw that one as well, yeah.

But for Burnley they've beaten, they've beaten Leeds, they've beaten Sunderland,

they've got points off leads and obviously winning against Wolves,

beating the teams around them, tricky start doing well.

But yeah, I think it's quite interesting how that's shaping the bottom three.

Absolutely. Alison Rudd, most significant result of the weekend.

Liverpool's defeat against Brentford, partly because it was an extra shock because Liverpool

had looked in free-flowing form against Eintrack Frankfurt after a dodgy start and you thought,

well, that's what they need to pick their season back up after three

league defeats. But no, I was there. You sit quite close to the pitch at Brentford,

and it was, you could feel their lack of self-belief, which was quite astonishing. Greg,

a most significant result of the weekend for you? Can I go for three?

Just all the... Oh, shocker!

Who saw that coming listeners? Gregor Robertson wanting to not pick one solo answer? It's the promoted teams. I mean, they've now got 38 points between them, which is the third best haul in the Premier League era. Leads, winning against West Ham's opened up a seven point gap over West Ham
