Arsenal take control of Premier League title race

Liverpool's recent slump continued at Anfield on Wednesday night as Crystal Palace rocked up, turned them over (again) and headed back to London with another impressive performance under their belts. Arne Slot bemoaned the squad issues he's facing at the minute, having chosen to field a bench made almost exclusively of teenagers. Having spent over £500m this summer, does he have a point? Elsewhere, Wolves were dumped out of the Carabao Cup at home to 10-man Chelsea, extending Vitor Pereira's misery at Molyneux. And for the first time in months, Joel is back to join Niall and Marley from his South American adventure! He updates everyone on his plans, gives us the lowdown on football in Brazil and beyond and of course, gets a few things about Manchester United off his chest.
