A bit bewildered at how Salah is having a "terrible season" when he has scored the same number of PL goals as Isak, who we can all agree is on fire. It's true he has toiled since Afcon but even by today's standards the narrative is a bit OTT.

As for Manchester United - used to dominate the ball, used to pepper the other goal, used to prevail in the final minutes. Now it's the opposition.

Personality is the hidden ingredient in players, that data doesn't always pick up. Cole Palmer has it in truckloads.

Just 6 touches for Haaland, 1 shot on target for City and nothing threatening from De Bruyne. That's as good a half as any team has had in terms of controlling City at the Etihad. The game's a little dull and tactical but that takes nothing from how well Arsenal have done so far

Remember John Stones's goal against Liverpool at Anfield? 🪄 It was the idea of Man City's Carlos Vicens. @JNorthcroft reports on how Vicens and Arsenal’s Nicolas Jover are perfecting the art of the dead ball in hope of giving their team the edge 🔽 thetimes.co.uk/article/premie…

“I wanted to do something out of the box because most celebrations are pretty normal. I see it as something to make people happy and worth the ticket they bought. I’m just having fun in the playground.” Mohammed Kudus interview ⬇️ | ✍️ @JNorthcroft thetimes.co.uk/sport/football…

Mohammed Kudus. A mix of hard work and joy. Perfect for the Premier League and just what West Ham need. An intelligent, funny, quietly confident guy doing it for his family and Nima. On celebrations, his 'Messi goal' and the 'magnet' that's Lucas Paqueta thetimes.co.uk/sport/football…
