With a majority of teams having now played nine games, the Premier League table is starting to take shape.

The winners are separating from the losers and that was reflected in this week’s fixtures, with just one draw amongst the 10 games, coming in the very last game of the matchweek between Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa.

Arsenal continue to lead the pack after a statement win against the struggling Reds, while Manchester City continue in cruise control with a 4-0 win over Southampton.

Cristiano Ronaldo stole the spotlight though, with goal number 700 in club football to help Manchester United over Everton. Where does that leave him in the GOAT race?

We discuss all that, plus more in this week's edition of the Offside Report!
