It will be interesting in Man Utd turn up and put in a performance tonight. I would like to see them beat Burnley although I would be be surprised if the Ginger Mourinho managed to get the points. Burnley's current position looks false to me and they are capable of stringing together some results in the games in hand to push them up the table.
Listening to the commentator, talking about Burnley earlier, saying that they have 10 players out of contract in the summer.
Looks like they are running the risk of losing a lot of players for nowt, and preparing for a season in the championship without having a squad of players on Premier League contracts.
 
That's a pen for me.

I wondered if Odegaard trod on Ederson first? I don't think so - I think it was the ground he planted his foot down on, rather than Ederson. But I wasn't 100%.

But if it was the ground, then what immediately follows means it absolutely should have been a penalty for me.

Although I think it was a pen, I'm glad VAR didn't intervene. Far from clear and obvious.

Arsenal are a team you do not want to play at the moment. They're certainly not "bang average" as someone described them after they beat us.
 
Arsenal deserve to be ahead. Moving the ball well, really troubling the city defence and protecting their own 18 yard box with relative ease.
Not taking anything away from Arsenal, but City, going forward, aren’t at their usual fluent best.
Penalty? I was looking closely at Odegaard’s foot placement and thought there was a element of him looking for a contact, so I am happy that the penalty wasn’t given.
