Summary
Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Matt Davies-Adams and Tim Spiers are in the studio after a seismic matchday 23 in the Premier League.
It’s now 3 games without a victory for Arsenal as Man United inflict a first home defeat of the season on the leaders. The Gunners’ lead is down to 4 points while Michael Carrick has taken the Red Devils into the top 4!
Villa bounce back from defeat against Everton with a very impressive 2-0 win at St James’s Park. And Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea momentarily went 4th, extending Palace’s winless run to 11 games.
Liverpool’s unbeaten run is ended in a five-goal thriller at Bournemouth. Not a good time for Arne Slot to see his side slip out of the top 4.
At the bottom, there were wins for Forest and West Ham, while Burnley took a point from Spurs, as the fan fury towards Frank continues.
