Summary

Jimbo welcomes Daniel Storey, Reuben Pinder and Tim Spiers into the pod after a seismic Matchday 9 in the Premier League.

It's a brilliant weekend for Arsenal who beat Crystal Palace while rivals Man City and Liverpool both lose. For Arne Slot's Reds, it's a 4th league defeat in a row as they are beaten at Brentford.

Chelsea suffer a shock loss at home to Sunderland while Bournemouth go 2nd in the table after another victory over Sean Dyche's Forest.

Wolves remain the only winless team in English football after a dramatic late winner for Burnley at Molineux. Natalie Gedra saw it all.

And Tottenham become the first team to win away at Hill Dickinson, 3-0 at Everton.

Plus Hearts go 8 points clear and Sheffield Wednesday celebrate their points deduction.
