Match of the Day
Although Stoke and Southampton did themselves no favours, at least there is a relegation battle. Champs and top 4 now look sorted after Spurs’ come-from-behind victory at Stamford Bridge
WBA pick up the first 8 game losing sequence by any club entirely within this season. Palace lost first seven games after dropping the final game of 2016/17
Klopp tops the century mark
Jurgen Klopp’s arrival at Liverpool engendered a lot of hype and by and large it has been justified, particularly if they can overcome the odds and defeat Man City in the Champions League

At the 100 game mark, Klopp seventh on the list with 190 points, sandwiched between two Liverpool playing icons, Dalglish(191) and Keegan(188)

At the time of writing Leicester’s are the only team to have lost after posting their quickest two goal tally. In the very first game of the season, they scored twice within 29 minutes against Arsenal but ended up on the wrong end of a 4-3 scoreline
