Not watching the game but I've just read that VAR has meant that Palace have had a goal disallowed, a penalty overturned and a player sent off. What's not to like about VAR?

And a second penalty denied, which on replay looked like it could have been given.
Pickford dropped by Everton. You simply cannot be England's number 1 if you're not playing regularly. And he shouldn't be England's keeper anyway but, probably, the person who should be, Henderson, isn't first choice anyway at United. Irony is that had he stayed at Sheffield United he would probably be the England keeper now. This could well open the door for Pope.

McCarthy could be in with a chance of a call up too.
People will turn around and say its a turning point for Fulham, when in reality they just played a very poor West Brom side, think the bottom 2 will be Fulham and West Brom and other teams battling to avoid 1 place
Thinking about it, it was probably a good time for Everton to rest Pickford, as with all the pressure on him after the VVD incident, Newcastle are the last team he needed to play, as they tend to bring out the worst in him, as he goes all Mackem!
Leicester for the title? I'd say they've a good chance on that showing. 50/1 on PP.
That's a good shout but their over reliance on Vardy might be their issue - 8 goals already this season but he's 33 now but has started to pick up niggles. The other issue is that they are a side doing typically well during the "no crowd" era - 5/5 away from home but have lost 3 games at home in all comps. Opposing teams will soon come to realise that they can't continue to be so open to the counter attack.
There is absolutely no value in backing them but City appear, at last, to have resolved their CB issues with the Dias/Laporte combo. They've only lost the one match in all comps and not conceded more than one in any game bar that defeat against Leicester. And that's having had to play without Aguero, Jesus and KDB at times.
Even each way options isn't particularly attractive as bookies are only taking bets on two places. And despite their defensive issues it is difficult to see Liverpool not being there too. Sunday's game between the two of them will tell us a lot.
When you have fast forwards and Vardy is mustard, Leicester need to be a counter attacking team so they can hit the opposition on the break. In International football Vardy was never going to be as effected because against the weaker teams they park two buses.
Leicester buy well but would need to reinforce in the January window to finish ahead of Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea.
Captain Morgan is going past his sell by date but has had a great career at Leicester.
He was hooked at Villa and that was a poor attempt at a header which led to the goal. Joe will miss the influence of the assassinated Virgil Van Dijk and Liverpool with all their American and TV money will surely buy an established CB in the window so they have options with Gomez, Phillips, Matip (when fit) and Fabinho.
Joe Gomez needs to step up and be the number 1 centre back at Liverpool while VVD recovers from GBH.

Now they will start crashing down the table
Gallagher looks a shadow of the player we saw last season.
Lookman was fantastic.
Grant was getting in good positions.
Ajeyi looked decent too.

Form is temporary, Class is permanent.
