Arsenal Drop Points, Who’s To Blame At Liverpool & Are United Back? | The Overlap Fan Debate

Welcome back to another episode of the Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet. Jamie Carragher is joined by some of the biggest fan channels in the country to break down the biggest talking points in the Premier League right now. We start with the 1–1 draw between Chelsea and Arsenal. What does it mean for the title race and what did we learn about both sides? We also look at Declan Rice and where he ranks among the world’s best midfielders. That result opens the door for Manchester City, who continue to hunt Arsenal down. Can Pep’s side catch them, and will their famous second half of the season surge prove decisive again? We also check in with Aston Villa and Sunderland after their impressive starts and ask just how far both teams can go this season. Meanwhile, Newcastle and Fulham have had mixed results, can either find consistency and push up the table? Despite beating West Ham, questions continue to follow Liverpool and Arne Slot. After a heavy summer spend, why are the same problems still showing and is the investment paying off? Manchester United also get discussed after a big win at Selhurst Park. Is Ruben Amorim finally finding rhythm after a shaky start, and can United now put a run of results together? If you had to give your team a score out of 10 for their season so far, what would you choose?
