Summary
It’s not quite awards season but with a third of the Premier League season gone, Natalie Sawyer and Gab Marcotti are joined by Gregor Robertson and Matt Furniss from Opta to review the best and worst performers of the campaign so far.
There’s plenty of love for Wolves while we also try to determine what went wrong for Jokanovic at Fulham.
It’s been a better season than you think for Hugo Lloris as we look back at the best goalkeepers.
Howe and Pochettino are up there with the best managers. But were we expecting more from Lukaku, Keita and Walcott?
Plus we welcome the best newcomers and the fact that Isaac Success has been steering clear of the Baileys.
