Seven wins from seven for City. But Villa have beaten them twice in the league last season, and they’re finding their feet again.

This is a proper test of whether anyone can slow City down - or if they’re already pulling away from the pack.

@FabrizioRomano @SamiMokbel_BBC Six weeks would be a huge blow if confirmed. Saka isn’t just a goalscorer for Arsenal - he’s the player they turn to when they need something to happen. Losing him for that long would really test their depth.

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

Six weeks without Bukayo Saka would be a massive blow for Arsenal.

But this is about more than missing one player. Saka is their biggest source of threat in the final third, and replacing his output is no easy task.

Further scans are still needed, so the full extent of the injury isn’t confirmed yet.

Arsenal will be hoping for better news. 🤞

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

@FabrizioRomano That’s a brutal run of games to miss. Díaz has become such an important outlet for Bayern - a month without him could really hurt, especially against Atlético and Dortmund. Hopefully it’s not longer than that.

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

Forest are 19th, have scored just five goals all season and are still waiting for their first home goal.

Yet their underlying numbers suggest they should be doing far better.

Is this a finishing problem, or are the stats flattering them? Tonight’s game against Ipswich should tell us more.

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

@FabrizioRomano Looking forward is easy to say. The real test is whether the club backs it up with better decisions, a clear plan and consistency on the pitch. That’s what actually changes things.

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

When your captain starts questioning the tactical approach after a 4-1 defeat, the problems go beyond the result.
Fernandes questioning the lack of pressing is a pretty clear warning sign. This is getting serious.

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

Arsenal getting a point at Bayern is a big result. But losing Saka so early is a real worry.
Arteta doesn’t sound too optimistic. Hopefully it’s not as bad as it looked.

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

The Man City case just got bigger.

England’s football regulator says it has the power to force an owner to sell if a club is found to have been run improperly.

City are appealing the verdict, so nothing is decided yet. But this is about more than just points deductions now.

Losing Saka inside 10 minutes against Bayern is a huge blow. Eze coming on and scoring is some response, though.

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

Bayern are level, but Arsenal have been creating the better chances so far.

Eze and Davies on the scoresheet. 1-1. This one’s getting interesting.

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

@piersmorgan Piers has somehow made this about Arsenal too

United are having a shocker, but “worst team in Premier League history” is a massive stretch. Let’s not get carried away.

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

@FabrizioRomano Seven games without a win. One winless run after another, and now a 4-1 defeat to Como.

At what point does this stop being a bad run and become a much bigger problem at Manchester United?

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

@FabrizioRomano At least he’s honest about it. You can’t sugarcoat a performance like that.

United need to show a reaction now, because words after a result like this mean very little without a response on the pitch.

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

Como 4-1 Manchester United.

Nico Paz scored twice and set up another as Como raced into a 3-0 lead by the 57th minute.

This was more than a heavy defeat: Como completely outclassed United.

How much longer can Michael Carrick survive this?

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

Como 2-0 Manchester United.

And United have ZERO shots on target after 52 minutes.

You can lose games, but offering this little going forward is a different problem.

What exactly is the plan here?

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

2 minutes. That’s all it took for Como to score against Man United.

Nico Paz puts Como 1-0 up, assisted by Lucas da Cunha.

United have barely had time to settle. Long night ahead if they don’t wake up quickly.

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

@FabrizioRomano PSG’s injury list is starting to look like a starting XI of its own.

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

@SkySportsPL Nine players out?

At this rate, Carrick might need to name the physio team on the bench.

[Wasim | Premier League @getwasimin]

@FabrizioRomano First Kvara, now Marquinhos. PSG really didn’t need another injury setback.
