We're look leggy, but it'll get better. We have five games in February, and we'll rotate against Wigan in one of them. That number won't go up unless we're in the CL playoffs which we won't be. Both domestic cups don't have a future round beyond what we have, until March. It'll come.

Disappointing, but no need to panic. Every team has blips where the attacking football isn't flowing. We're fortunate that City are having one at the same time as us. But their defence is crap, so they lost where we won. Being seven points clear without yet clicking properly is exciting, to me.

Trossard has carved out such a niche as the player to unlock a tight game.

Bright start but faded. Forest look knackered at half time though so we can step it up second half. Need something to stick, there's a lot of nearlys at the moment.

It's amazing how many managerial careers are derailed at Chelsea and Spurs.

Haha Spurs. Today is fun - don't ruin it Arsenal.

This pretty much sums Joao Pedro up. Diving needs sorting out. I've said it many times - one good use for VAR would be to tell refs when there has been a no-contact dive (forget the subjective), so the ref can book them at next stoppage. Quick and effective. Right now there's no deterrent.

The difference between United when they are fired up and when they're not is massive. First day of the season they were equally fired up and it was a really tough game. Still won, though, eh City?

City conceding three? Can't remember what doing that is even like. (It's been three seasons since we did - and we won that game 4-3 anyway)

2-0 to United. What an opportunity again for us later.

It's the hope that kills you. If United win, Guardiola is going to blow his lid about the Dalot non-red, which actually makes that decision worthwhile.

Just seen the Dalot challenge. Genuinely don't understand how it wasn't upgraded to a red. And that's from someone who wants United to do well today.

This is good, and the injury table in there reminds me of a game to assess squads - if you could crock two players from squad X to make them worse, who would you choose? It's not always the star players, it's often the ones that you don't think can be replaced. For us? Zubimendi and Rice.

Annoying that City are making more smart moves. I am SO bored of Guardiola's sob stories about his squad size though. Seriously man, shut up.

Putting this differently - fixtures remaining against positions: 2nd (a) 3rd - played twice 4th - played twice 5th (a) 6th (h) 7th (h) 8th (h) 9th (h) 10th (h) 11th (a) 12th (h) 13th (a) 14th (a) 15th (h) 16th (a) 17th (a) 18th (a) 19th (h) 20th (a) After City away, what's our next hardest game?

Arsenal remaining away fixtures are against these positions: 2nd (City) 5th (Brentford) 11th (Brighton) 13th (West Ham) 14th (Spurs) 16th (Leeds) 17th (Forest) 18th (West Ham) 20th (Wolves) Most of our home games are against the top half, most of our away games against the bottom half.

Counting a penalty shoot out as a win, this is our season so far in all competitions: Played 32 Won 26 Drew 4 Lost 2 We haven't been perfect, there are players who you could easily imagine will improve in the second half of the season. That's an outstanding first five months.

One real notable difference between these sides is their reaction to a misplaced pass. We encourage and go again. They moan and complain at each other. Dressing room culture and unity matters, and Chelsea don't have any.

this week really has been the story of the three Martins: Ødegaard, Zubimendi, and Elli.

Zubimendi! What a signing he is. Controls the midfield, holds a real goal threat. 3-1 and deserved.

I like thise subs. Merino adds more control to midfield and with Chelsea pressing forward more, a fresh and confident Martinelli is a big threat.

Keep attacking Arsenal. There's more goals in this.

Half time, comfortable so far. Haven't put them away though, with plenty of good opportunities to do so. Love the aggression of the press, we're at our best hassling them.

Good reffing from Hooper there. Clear yellow for Trossard but Estevao also gets one for the card wave.

The high press has Chelsea shitting bricks tonight.

That Rice delivery is incredible. It's almost undefendable.

MLS definitely seems to be being challenged by Arteta this season.

The unqualified, mask-hidden, anonymous and violent militia now have federal immunity to do anything, and challenging them in any way is a federal crime. Yep, thanks but no thanks America.

The full list of World Cup qualifying nations swept up in the US visa ban - Iran, Uzbekistan, Jordan, Algeria, Cape Verde, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire, Tunisia, Haiti, Brazil, Colombia & Uruguay. 15 out of 42. + Bosnia, Albania & Kosovo, who are still in the UEFA play-offs.

Even putting aside how funny this is - this is the minimum they will EVER play - smallest league, least competitions, out in the first round of each....just think of the lost revenue. By contrast, some teams will play close to 70 games this season.

CONFIRMED: Manchester United will play just 40 games this season — their fewest in a campaign since 1914-15 (39 games). (This excludes seasons impacted by war).

Remember that tweet about Spurs always being the joke? United are very much heading in the same direction, if not already there.

Games like this are always tricky, but if you can rotate, comfortably go through and avoid injuries - job done.

Welcome back Kai.

I'm not gonna lie, given the extensive coverage, the rest of the team should've sit down on the touchline after Martinelli scored so he could celebrate by pushing them off the pitch. Lean in.

Own goal from a corner? Arsenal perfection.

Really happy for Norgaard - he's had to be patient. 1-1.

Radio 5: "What a start for Portsmouth, they've scored against the Premier League champions". Getting a bit ahead of themselves there.

Man Utd, Chelsea and Spurs. There are a few clubs at which the reputation of managers tends to take a battering, but I think Spurs are the clear winners.

I keep wondering who would take the Spurs job but there's always a manger who thinks he can fix it and it always ruins them. It's like if a monkey paw was a football club.

What an amazing result that is for Macclesfield. Palace, meanwhile, are rivalling Forest for the biggest hangover award this season.

This season is quite the fall from grace for Forest.

This is very true, and a good sign that any time we draw it's considered a bad result. Liverpool didn't have a shot on target last night, and they're getting praised. Yes, they had injuries, but we were riddled with them when we went to Anfield (when they still had a 100% record) and got ridiculed.

It's amazing how much one goal changes the narrative. In both games, it was compact, neither could break the other down. Arsenal went to Anfield riddled with injuries and were lambasted for not having a go (Liverpool had a 100% record at the time). Last night, Liverpool did the same to crickets.

Gabriel Martinelli apologized to Conor Bradley. Well done. That was the right thing to do.

This is actually a class response. Pretty sure it won't stop Sky spending the next three days talking about it. I do hope Martinelli apologises though, honest mistake as it likely was.

Not sure Gary Neville can say another word about Arteta losing his cool after saying Liverpool players should have taken a red card and whacked him, mind.

I will say though that if one of our players was badly injured and an opponent shoved him off the pitch, I'd be fuming. Thought that was really really poor from Martinelli. Yes, it's annoying, because we were building our only momentum of the half, but you can't do that. He was clearly in agony.

Thought that was a pretty dreadful performance and after the first 20 we couldn't string passes together. Not actually sure Liverpool were much better so perhaps the horrific weather actually won. After last night's results though, that's ok, we'd have taken losing no ground on anyone this week.

Two minutes added on time after a lengthy injury in the first half. They make it up.
