Arsenal have other options, but no one else in the squad is able to recreate what the Ghanaian did at Old Trafford. Simon Collings

West Brom scored five home goals for Manchester City on Tuesday and Sam Allardyce said he was “shocked” by what he called a “heartbreaking” performance. The Baggies are here for the catch and while Parker says publicly it won’t define their season, he will know it’s a huge game for Fulham in their struggle to stay on their feet. Giuseppe Muro

Mount added a penetration and energy that was lacking in all of Chelsea’s total dominance on the ball.
Tuchel will have learned that it takes a lot more than possession to win in the Premier League – especially against an opposition as unambitious as Wolves.
Don’t expect Burnley to provide more attacking intent, so Tuchel has to find another way through – and few are better at breaking lines than Mount. James Robson

During Harry Kane’s last injury, Jose Mourinho could not have expressed his desire for a new replacement striker more clearly. Now that he has one on loan at Carlos Vinicius, there is no guarantee he will start Sunday’s visit to Brighton, having played just 25 minutes in the League this season.
