Lampard sacked, and Arsenal sweep United aside

So, Frank Lampard has been sacked as manager of Everton after a 2-0 loss to fellow strugglers West Ham, leaving the Toffees in a mess near the foot of the table. Mike, Myles and Dave ponder where the club goes next - to the Championship? Or do they sound the Sean Dyche klaxon to save their season?

At the top of the Premier League, Arsenal passed their biggest challenge yet by beating Manchester United 3-2 in an end-to-end encounter. The result is a reality check for Erik ten Hag's improving team, and leaves the Gunners in a fantastic position to push for the title. In their way though are Manchester City, where Erling Haaland seem to have awoken from his short slumber to suddenly start breaking records again.
