There are highlights from the win against the Hornets.
The two points that were dropped against Manchester United were not lost. They got away with one of the six changes they made.
It's difficult not to agree, given their personnel, but Thomas Tuchel described this as "unlike" Chelsea.
Saul Niguez was given the chance to redeem himself after a poor debut against Villa, but he did just that. He gave the ball away six times, gained it once, and won just two of his eight duels after being taken off at the break. The Spaniard may well be passed by the English on loan for the season.
It's worth remembering that N'Golo Kante, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic were not with the team on Wednesday night.
It's one thing to win or lose a challenge, but we didn't find them.

The sign of a champion is winning having not played well. It depends on how you look at it.
This feels like another 90+ point season where playing badly isn't accepted, and on the other hand, Manchester City andLiverpool look great. On the other hand, they haven't had their best XI in a while and still sit top.

There are highlights from the win against the Toffees.
Andrew Robertson's pass was behind Diogo Jota. The Portuguese simply checked his run, stretched out a leg to hook the ball past Allan, then slammed an unstoppable finish past Jordan Pickford from close to the byline.
The result mattered more than the goal. The Reds were out of sight at 3-1. It turned a comfortable derby win into a thumping and it also showed the brilliance of a player who looks right at home.
Jota arrived from Wolves last summer and has been doing it ever since. The fee was laughed at by many. The consensus was that the player was overpaid by the club. It is hard to see it as anything other than a bargain now.
Jota's goal was his fourth in his last three appearances and his eighth in the premier league this season, putting him third in the scoring charts behind only Jamie Vardy and Mo Salah.
His numbers were great despite his injury troubles.
He has 17 goals in 32 appearances for the Reds, and is averaging one for every 120 minutes played, which is better than the average of one for every 124 minutes for the Egyptian.
He's also bringing goals to the side. Nobody won more duels or completed more dribbles against the Toffees. He was the top for chances created. Both Jota and Salah were not able to live withEverton.
Jota is five years younger than his Egyptian team-mate, but he is showing that he can be just as good.

The issues run deep.
What now for the two players? Fans were forced to leave Goodison Park long before the final whistle and those who stayed until the bitter end were booed when it was all over.
They have the right to be angry. The season is threatening to fall apart. It's been eight games without a win. His arms were outstretched on the touchline as he watched their latest defeat, inflicted in brutal style by his former club.
Given the nature of their recent performances, he is under a lot of pressure.
The gulf was huge asEverton rallied briefly on Wednesday night. The hosts' lack of defensive organisation was exploited by the Reds. The score could have been worse.
It's not clear how long he'll last but there's no doubt he's been dealt a difficult hand, the shallowness of his squad summed up by his first substitution when Salomon Rondon was replaced by Anthony Gordon.
Gordon is a talented young player with a bright future ahead of him, but neither is he at the level required for a game of this magnitude right now and the same can be said of many others in the squad.
The club is hamstrung by financial fair play because of past errors. Injuries have exposed the lack of depth in the squad that needed it the most in the summer. The removal of him won't solve the problems.

Silva is important to City again.

The highlights from Manchester City's win against Villa are free to watch.
The form of his life is that of Bernardo Silva.
The Portugal international scored one of the goals of the season in Man City's hard-fought victory at Aston Villa.
The goal came just before half-time and was a sensational, ruthless move from the champion.
It began when Riyad and Joao played their way out of a tight space inside their own area for Fernandinho to release Jesus.
The Brazilian's early cross picked out the forward and he volleyed it past the keeper from 18 yards.

The Manchester City player finished off a counter- attack with a wonderful volley.
It was a goal that made even the most intelligent person laugh. "He is a player on another level," said the coach after the win.
He has scored four goals in his last seven appearances in the league, as many as he has in his previous 55.
He has shown his importance to City's title chances this season once again, because of the absence of Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish.

It has been a frustrating season so far. Their lack of consistency has seen them turn into a mid-table scrap and their performance at Saints typified the roller coaster season they are having.
The first period was very slow for the Foxes as they were out-played by the Saints. The Saints scored from their first two corners and ended the half with six of their nine shots being on target.
The second half was much better than the first. James Maddison picked up where he left off againstWatford after coming on and sparking life into a disorganizedLeicester.
Harvey Barnes had an effort saved by Alex McCarthy before Jamie Vardy missed a chance to win it for the Foxes, who should have won it late in the half.
Brendan Rodgers said that the draw was probably correct, but that the second-half performance dropped two points.
The manager said that the issues his side had in the first half were a lack of concentration and lack of aggression. The two goals that were conceded were really poor and it was due to a lack of concentration and aggressiveness.
Next week, they have to win at Napoli in order to secure their status as group winners. They need to start finding consistency at home if they want another European adventure.

It has been a long time since a place like home for Leeds.

There are highlights from the win against Crystal Palace.
It's odd, when you consider how hard it was to beat them at Elland Road last season, that Leeds United have struggled at home so far this season.
Raphinha's 93rd-minute penalty gave his team a crucial three points that lifted them away from the bottom of the table.
The hosts may not have played well, but you can see that this win could be the catalyst for a return to Elland Road, where they surprised so many by finishing ninth in their first season back in the top flight.
Their current struggles near the foot of the table will be over if that is the case.

There are highlights from the draw between the two teams.
With just over ten minutes to go, the team was on the verge of their first points of the season. Eddie Howe and his side will be disappointed by the fact that there was little done about Teemu Pukki's superb equaliser.
On Tuesday, they were almost the masters of their downfall. Credit to his team-mates for not letting the fact that he was sent off affect them too much.
They kept it close and even. Clark's replacement, Federico Fernandez, did a good job at centre-back.
Pierre Lees-Melou was denied the ball by Martin Dubravka's outstretched foot. A win for the Canaries in the final moments of the game would have been very harsh on the visitors. They were correct in their point.
A draw may not be the best result, but it is another point on the board, so don't look too far above.
"We know we need wins, draws aren't going to be enough," Howe said. I think you saw a group of players who gave their all in the game tonight, I think all you can do is give your all. I have to be very proud of the players who have committed themselves to the task ahead.
There was a lot of love for the city of Newcastle on Tuesday. It needs to be turned into points to avoid a return to the Championship.

Missed chance for Wolves.

There are highlights from the Wolves draw with Burnley.
Wolves have kept three consecutive clean sheets. Jose Sa did not make a save until the second half. Nick Pope had little to do at the other end of the stalemate.
Two teams that are still in the Premier League's bottom two are the Bruno Lage's side. Wolves had 16 shots, but they lacked that cutting edge. They find it difficult to get bodies behind the ball.
Adama Traore is walking between solution and problem. He was the most dangerous man on the pitch, his driving runs from deep wowing the crowd, but that goal somehow escapes him. His shot hit the underside of Pope's goal.
There were a few boos at the final whistle but most of the crowd went away. They know that their team pushed. They know that Wolves are in the top half of the table. It has been a good start.
This daunting run of fixtures will be for some time. Wolves play the top three teams in the country in their next four, with away trips to Manchester United andArsenal to follow. It will not be easy.

There are highlights from West Ham's draw with the Seagulls.
Football is a funny game at times.
With the clock approaching 90 minutes and the Seagulls down to 10 men after Adam Lallana was injured, Neal was going to be sleepless.
His confidence looked rock bottom after he failed to score in front of the goal against Leeds. His poorly executed effort after just two minutes that missed the target was a sign of the lack of killer instinct.
The match report and highlights of West Ham's victory over Brighton.
Sometimes the football gods work in strange ways. It was a much harder finish than all of his previous six shots over the last two games, as a bright as a button from the bench, Tariq Lamptey delivered a hopeful cross that gave him a sniff of goal. He was going to stick away from this one, which was going to be the one that produced the overhead kick. A point was saved for draw-specialists. They have had seven stalemates in their last nine games.
Neal had a difficult game against Leeds, even though his performance was good, according to Graham Potter. The environment is tough if you miss a chance. It's good for him to get the goal because he was always going to stay on. It shows you how to become a hero.

Quality is needed to avoid the drop.

Dean Smith was left frustrated by Tuesday's draw at Newcastle, after his side failed to take advantage of the early dismissal of Ciaran Clarke.
It was a strange result for the team. After going behind early in the second half, a draw away at Newcastle is nothing to be upset about.
They never really took advantage of the man advantage. Against a defence that had to be changed in ten minutes, the Canaries could have made a bigger impact. It can be harder to play against ten men.
A glaring lack of quality was the most worrying aspect of the performance. There is some real talent in the Canaries squad, but their lack of big chances was of their own doing.

The ball went out of play a lot as they tried to build pressure around the area. Only six of their 16 shots were on target, and it was telling that the first shot of the game was by Teemu Pukki.
Dean Smith said after the game that they didn't show enough quality to win the game.
We needed to be quick and we were a little pedestrian on the ball. We moved the ball with any kind of pace after the goal. After the sending off, we didn't do enough to score a wonderful goal. We never got enough big chances because of that.
The quality needs to increase quickly and dramatically if they are to avoid another season in the Championship.
