Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Daniel Storey and Tim Spiers have plenty on their plate after a narrative-packed Premier League weekend.

The Manchester derby is won in sensational fashion by Man United with two late goals and Amad Diallo lighting up a drab derby. Is Man City’s place in the top 4 at serous risk?

Two managers lose their jobs on Sunday. Gary O’Neil after Wolves’ apocalyptic defeat against Ipswich, and Russell Martin after Southampton’s mauling by Tottenham.

Elsewhere Matt Davies-Adams watched Chelsea close the gap on Liverpool to just 2 points. But it’s a good weekend for the league leaders who rescue a draw with 10 men, while Arsenal draw a blank against Everton.

Oh and Forest are in the top 4 after their own late comeback against Aston Villa.
