Summary

Jimbo has JJ Bull, Adrian Clarke and Liam Tharme for company to converse over Matchday 10 in the Premier League.

Liverpool get back to winning ways against Villa but leaders Arsenal earn their 9th victory in a row and 7th clean sheet in a row. And a Haaland-led Man City produce their best against Bournemouth.

At the bottom, Wolves part ways with Vitor Pereira after their winless start continues at Fulham, while it’s a first victory at West Ham for Nuno against Newcastle.

And Chelsea overcome Spurs, with many asking questions about Thomas Frank’s approach and post-match interaction with his players.
