Erling Haaland scores a late double to take his tally to 14 in seven for club and country & distort another scoreline. But as Maxime Esteve got a different kind of brace, this revolved around Matheus Nunes - for better and worse. On Man City 5-1 Burnley: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Arne Slot admits it is a risk Liverpool now only have three fit specialist centre-backs but said he doesn't want a squad of 25 players - and having fewer has helped them afford big deals: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Manchester United have not won back-to-back league games under Ruben Amorim. He says it would be massive if they can and a big problem if they don't realise they finally have a chance to get some winning momentum: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Ruben Amorim has faced the Premier League's middle 12 - the other clubs who finished between 5th and 17th last season - in 18 PL games, won three and got just 12 points. On Amorim's problems against the mid-table teams: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

On Aston Villa. Last year they were Champions League quarter-finalists. Now they are yet to win, have scored only two goals and had a frustrating summer. All of a sudden, it isn't going very well: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Arne Slot described Hugo Ekitike's red card as needless and stupid. On a night when Alexander Isak got his first Liverpool goal, Ekitike his first Liverpool red card and Federico Chiesa got two assists. Liverpool 2-1 Southampton: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Giovanni Leoni will undergo scans on his knee after fears he suffered a cruciate ligament injury on his Liverpool debut: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

A tale of two strikers at Anfield. A first Liverpool goal for Isak, but he was overshadowed by Ekitike, with Liverpool's newest late goal and the silliest of sendings-off. On Liverpool 2-1 Southampton: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

On Graham Potter. West Ham underlines some of the problems with his managerial record, plus some new ones, as well as their endemic issues: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Pep Guardiola sees his side have less possession than ever before as he borrows from Arteta and Mourinho to go on the defensive in a fine rearward action: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Florian Wirtz was benched for the Merseyside derby as Arne Slot picked last season's midfield of Gravenberch, Mac Allister & Szoboszlai. It all adds to the question of how and where to use the £100m man: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Arne Slot benched his £225m pair but Ryan Gravenberch scored without Isak and assisted without Wirtz to decide the Merseyside derby. On Liverpool 2-1 Everton: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Pep Guardiola is waiting to see if Rodri is fit to face Arsenal after he felt some discomfort in his knee this week: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Pep Guardiola praised Mikel Arteta but said spoke about Arsenal's big spending and said - sarcastically - that if Arsenal won the title it will be because they spent. Guardiola on Arteta, Arsenal and the title race: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Kevin de Bruyne's homecoming at Manchester City goes wrong, in part because of a record-breaking Erling Haaland. On Man City 2-0 Napoli: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Gianluigi Donnarumma on his Neapolitan and Napoli-supporting family, Pep Guardiola's role in him joining Man City, leaving PSG and passing the ball: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Five games, five decisive late goals, five dramatic wins. Surely it can't go on like this? But it did. Virgil van Dijk popped up in injury time to save Liverpool and annoy Simeone on a big night for Salah, Isak and Llorente. On Liverpool 3-2 Atletico Madrid: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Newcastle against Barcelona conjures memories of Tino Asprilla and a great Tyneside night. Can tomorrow live up to that? www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Arne Slot was reflecting on Champions League defeats yesterday. Liverpool won the league phase last season but went out in the last 16. Slot and Virgil van Dijk on the Champions League, Atletico Madrid and Alexander Isak: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

31 points from 31 games for Ruben Amorim. He admits it isn't the record a Man Utd manager should have. He isn't the first managerial Ruben to be sacked by a United this season. But he won't change, which invites the question if United should change the manager: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Haaland and Foden destroy Man Utd again. Doku joins in. Donnarumma has an excellent debut. Amorim has another dreadful day as his side are cut apart. On Manchester City 3-0 Manchester United: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Harvey Elliott on why he had to be selfish to leave Liverpool, the club he will always love, and why he likes Unai Emery: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

The Aston Villa goal drought continues. It never looked like ending at Everton. At least the excellence of the returning Emi Martinez ensured they didn't concede. On the Villa malaise & a 0-0 draw where Everton created rather more: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Arne Slot on why he is confident Alexander Isak won't go on strike at Liverpool and what he needs to do to be the world's best striker: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Records aplenty for England as they smash through the 300 barrier in a T20 with Phil Salt and Jos Buttler battering South Africa: www.independent.co.uk/sport/cricke...

A Manchester derby with a difference. United kick off above City in the table. They could both kick off in the bottom half. Ruben Amorim faces his old mate Hugo Viana. Amorim on the derby: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Amorim says that Lammens could be United's goalkeeper for many years - but that Bayindir will start the Manchester derby: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Andre Onana's last game for Inter was a Champions League final. What may prove his last for Man Utd was a Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby when he was at fault for a goal. On a Man Utd career gone wrong: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Andre Onana joins Trabzonspor on loan: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

On Gianluigi Donnarumma and Man City. If he appeared a goalkeeper out of time, it was in part because of Pep Guardiola and Ederson. So this is an intriguing move: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Txiki Begiristain on why Pep Guardiola has to be "the leader in the building": www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Man Utd sign Senne Lammens. He made a lot of saves last season. He might have to make a few this season: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Aston Villa sign Jadon Sancho and Harvey Elliott on loan. Elliott to become permanent next summer, Sancho in his third straight loan away from Man Utd: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Merlin Rohl joins Everton. Loan that will become permanent next summer. Magical. www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Liverpool sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle for a British record £125m. Six-year deal. He says he wants to win everything at Anfield: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

No Marc Guehi for Liverpool as his move breaks down, despite the clubs agreeing a £35m fee: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Man Utd sell Antony and loan out Hojlund as two of Ten Hag's big buys go - some money being brought in but big losses on each: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Liverpool agree £35m fee for Marc Guehi: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Aston Villa in for Harvey Elliott. Could also get Jadon Sancho: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Benjamin Sesko was the last penalty taker at Grimsby (goalkeepers apart) and the last attacking sub on Saturday. He has had a slow start at Man Utd. What's going on? Ruben Amorim gave his answer: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Man City closing in on Donnarumma, but will only sign him if Ederson leaves: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Last season, Trent Alexander-Arnold was Liverpool's right-back and free-kick taker. On Sunday, Dominik Szoboszlai was both. On a player whose can-do mentality endears him to Arne Slot and makes him crucial for Liverpool: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Liverpool agree £125m fee for Isak: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Mikel Arteta went safety first at Anfield, Arsenal were on top and created little and Liverpool won. There might be a lesson there: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Another penalty Ruben Amorim couldn't watch but Bruno Fernandes scored it to get Man Utd a belated first win of the season in a game when they had a host of chances but conceded twice. On Man Utd 3-2 Burnley: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Liverpool make £35m bid for Marc Guehi: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Liverpool come up against the one who got away, Martin Zubimendi on Sunday. Yet they didn't need him last season, because of Ryan Gravenberch, though a defensive midfielder could be of even more significance to the new-look Liverpool now: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Ruben Amorim says he could change formation - when Manchester United perfect playing 3-4-3... www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...
