We're like a family in this section. We can argue and still like each other.

Big match today at the top with all the Manchester hype. Personally I believe the old Liverpool will be back playing like they did against us this year and last year. Up and at United and forcing them into turnovers. I know this is against the trend but I can see Liverpool giving them a real walloping. I'm going for a dominant 3-0 victory.

Hopefully

Liverpool started well, United have grown into the game.

Very even, if United can win that midfield battle and Rashy can stay onside, it's winnable.

Could go either way.

Confidence is a real thing in football.

Could have easily been 5-0. Partey was great today and Xhaka also impressed. Glad Auba got some goals today

Will be interesting if they can take this great form into the next match against Southampton who are a cut above the teams they've been beating recently. I true Europa league competitor.

Nice first half from us. Could have been further ahead. Now got to keep it tight at the back and continue to attack. Top of the league for a day at least would be nice.

BTW VAR righting a great example of unconscious bias for the big 6. Clearly outside the box yet the ref tries to give a peno.

Great win for Leicester.
Maybe now the media and pundits will take you guys seriously?

We've played more games than the others but it's nice to be sitting top. Beating Chelsea makes me feel like we are a top 5 team again. Question is can we make the top 4 CL places (to go with a Europa cup win).

This season is turning out to be the best Premier league season for many years. It's great how many teams are in the hunt for European places. It's great to have a league where at least 11 teams are seriously in with a chance of playing in the champions league/Europa next season. and where the title is far from decided. It's such a contrast to places like Ligue 1 that are simply a procession to the title for one team.

Honestly, it's hard to say who is the favourite for the title at the moment. Liverpool have been the best team that we've played this season but Man City are possibly the team I think most likely to take the title this season at the moment. And then of course there's Man U who are tearing up the league and seem certain of a top 3 finish.

I still see Leicester as in that next group fighting for the last CL place and the EL places alongside Spurs, Southampton, Villa, Chelsea, Everton and Arsenal.

That is 10 teams all in the shake-up. What a season it is so far.

Well what do you think about the non-offside and the penalty decisions that helped Man City beat Villa?

Well, by the rules it wasn't offside and it was a handball.
Harsh, but that's it tbf.

I think the handball rule has gone from being clear but harsh to dependant on the ref and VAR. The offside rule was bizarre. I've seen Vardy called offside in exactly the same situation many, many times.

lol top of the table again (for now)
pogba is starting to have a hell of a season, he's really racking up the moments of brilliance that lead to goals
he's got his minuses and sadly for him hasnt really had a settled role, but he's delivering
