This is The Guardian.

Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly.

Sound the brackets mini, close brackets, crisis at Liverpool Claxon, three defeats in a row

for Arnold slots, and after

weeks have not been great but winning late on, they're now not being great and losing late on. Chelsea missing so many, especially in defence, are an odd team, but sometimes a good team, Kaisado with the perfect long-range whack and Estevour late on. Moreska sent off for being happy, we can't have that. It means Arsenal go top, a tediously easy two-nil win over West Ham, but they lost that one last year.

This could be the year for Mikkel. Spurs a third after a gritty, wet, windy, resolute winner Ellen Road. Pascal does strike twice. The kind of game that they probably would have lost last year, given they lost almost all their games last year. And it's now losing games at Forest 2-0 at Newcastle.

Volta mater was very good. Manchester United are back, well who knows, but a win is a win. Everton somehow end Crystal Palace's unbeaten run, another chance to say we're all happy to see Jack Greedish being happy. Bournemouth the 4th, Antoine Semenio, leading a comeback against Fulham. Doniel Marlon scores a couple of decent ones for Villa, Man City win at Brentford and more late agony for wolves, still without a win for the irresponsible Vitor Pereira. Elsewhere, Russell Martin is sacked as Rangers manager after a complete disaster

and Barry's header has been turned into a holiday game for all the family. We'll answer your

questions as always and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly.

On the panel today, John Bruin, hello.

Hello, Max.

Welcome Lucy Ward.

Hey, Max.

And hello, Barry Glendening.

It's not for the first time, Max.

I want to skip straight to the end to find out about this game.

Again, it'll be an anti-climax, but it'll be a nice thing for people to hear

at the end of the podcast.

Shamik says, what happened this week on the football?

Great question.

Let's go through it all.

We'll begin at Stamford Bridge.
