The Football Fill-In has got a great line-up this week with Ben Foster, Dave Watson, Ben Tozer and former Leeds Legend, Stuart Dallas!
On today’s Premier League show we talk about Brighton's INCREDIBLE 2-1 win over Manchester City and the talks around if City will retain their title this season after a FOURTH defeat in a row! We then move on to Liverpool with Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah's goals seeing off Aston Villa, putting them at the top of the table going into the international break.
The London Derby between Chelsea and Arsenal ended 1-1, but the Gunners could have nicked it at the end through Leandro Trossard. Staying in West London, Brentford's home form continued as they saw off AFC Bournemouth 3-2 in an entertaining spectacle that saw Yoanne Wissa bag another two!
We had a MASSIVE shock down at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with Ipswich stunning Spurs with a 2-1 win which is their first win of the season! Looking at the other two London clubs at home this weekend, we had Palace vs Fulham where there are now questions about Oliver Glasner's future at the club, but will their form improve with their injury list building? West Ham drew 0-0 against Everton, with both GK’s showing great performances here and we have our two GKs analyse their performance on the show.
Ruud van Nistelrooy got another win to end his short reign in charge at Manchester United versus Leicester, but has recently been confirmed (after the show) that he has left the Red Devils, was this a good decision from the club?
Newcastle beat the Nottingham Forest 3-1 away from home with players like goals from Alexander Isak, Joelinton and Harvey Barnes shining. Finally, Wolves beat Southampton 2-0 at home, which could be a job saver for Gary O’Neil....
We break each game down into more detail on the show and make sure you watch to the end to see who wins in the Football Fill-In quiz!
