On the podcast today: defending champions Manchester City start with a win at Chelsea. Goals from Erling Haaland and Mateo Kovacic got the job done, but credit to Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca for figuring out a starting XI from his ever-growing squad.

Elsewhere, Arsenal and Liverpool looked comfortable in their respective 2-o wins over Wolves and Ipswich Town. There could be early rumblings of a crisis at Everton after their 3-0 loss to Brighton and Manchester United do just enough under the Friday night lights to win against Fulham.

Plus: Ben Brereton Díaz’s theatrics, Jhon Durán’s u-turn, Ivan Toney potentially on the move and, as always, your questions answered.
