It’s early days, but following on from last weekend, it felt like the balance shifted in the Premier League this match day. Narratives were flipped and results seemed more crucial, heading into the men’s international break.

Musa and Ryan begin at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea’s win over Liverpool highlighted a few issues that Arne Slot has trying to figure out all season (04:26). Arsenal’s win at home to West Ham saw them go top (19:37), with the noise from a fortnight ago fully subsiding. Elsewhere (32:31), Everton ended Palace’s unbeaten run, Manchester United kept it calm, Bournemouth continue to impress and much more in the Premier League. Finally, there’s a quick shout out for La Liga, the Bundesliga, Serie A and more (40:01).

It felt like a significant weekend in the Premier League, so Musa and Ryan begin with Crystal Palace’s 2-1 win over Liverpool, to inflict a first defeat of the season on Arne Slot’s side, while Oliver Glasner remains the only unbeaten manager in the league this season (02:25). They then move on to Arsenal’s late win over Newcastle United, to close the gap at the top (13:13) and round-up the rest of the Premier League results (19:36).

It was a weekend where two high profile Premier League games played out in very different ways.

Musa and Ryan begin with a quick round-up, including Liverpool extending their lead at the top, thanks to their 2-1 win over Everton in the Merseyside derby (03:04). It was chaos at Old Trafford on a rain-soaked Saturday evening (07:44), but Manchester United did enough to get a much needed win against Chelsea. It took them level on points with Manchester City, where control was the name of the game in the 1-1 draw away at Arsenal (15:28), which saw Pep Guardiola record the lowest possession percentage of his managerial career.

There’s also a round-up of the Bundesliga (25:23), La Liga and Atleti’s identity (30:28), Mourinho’s return, including an accidental mini ‘what if’ (36:08) and more!
