Whatever happens now, perhaps nobody has had a worse day in football than the Arsenal coach driver.

FIVE Premier League games at 3pm. The football gods are really spoiling us. Brentford v West Ham sees a London derby of west vs east, the Hammers off the back of walloping Arsenal, the Bees after swarming all over Chelsea. Burnley v Crystal Palace is a chance for Vin Kompany to win a home game, they had a bad run of big boys to start with but after last week’s loss at Bournemouth, this is a vital game for the Clarets. Everton v Brighton: what a job Sean Dyche is doing, by the way, is the sheen wearing off Roberto De Zerbi? Manchester City v Bournemouth: lambs to the slaughter but how much will Pep Guardiola praise Andoni Iraola afterwards? And Sheffield United v Wolves: no Pedro Neto for Wolves, so does that mean Blades can land a first win? You’d still have to say that’s unlikely.
All that and the hottest action from the EFL and across Europe. Join me.
