Despite the win, questions remain about Manchester United's ability to dominate and play expansive football.
Liverpool continue to lead the league with a strong performance

One player, Darwin Nuñez, received both praise and criticism for his decision-making in scoring goals, but overall, Liverpool is seen as a dangerous and well-rounded team.

Arsenal demonstrated exceptional form and control in their recent match against Burnley, scoring a convincing 5-0 victory. Their defensive record, which is currently the best in the league, highlights their ability to limit opposition goal-scoring opportunities.
