Although Burnley might have signed off October with consecutive Premier League victories, Saturday's hosts have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion. Last seen falling to a 2-1 loss away at Newcastle, Parker's downbeat squad are almost universally regarded as a standout contender to be hit with an immediate Championship return this season. Heading into November's international break with an action-packed 3-2 defeat away at fellow strugglers West Ham, Burnley have lost all of their previous six straight Premier League showdowns.

I want to play. I'm not ready to call it quits by any means. I don't feel old. I've still got that hunger to play and do well. I just want the opportunity to show what I can still do. I feel like I can add value on the pitch but also show the right way to train, the right way to act on and off the pitch. I'm in the bracket now where I've been lucky enough to play for top clubs, win things and work with top managers. I know a lot more now than I did when I started out.

Former Swiss International midfielder Gokhan Inler has now revealed that he had the opportunity to join Arsenal during his time at Udinese. However, the Italian outfit refused to sell him back then. The player eventually ended up in the Premier League with Leicester City, and he won the league title with them during the 2015-16 season. Arsene Wenger wanted to bring the Swiss International midfielder to Arsenal during his time at the club.

Now, driven by manager Unai Emery, they are third with growing talk of their involvement in the title race. Saturday's dramatic finale against leaders Arsenal underlined their credentials and the 2-1 victory was Emery's 63rd in the Premier League - the most in the club's history.

"First, my decision and also the situation. He is on loan playing with us, but he is not definitely adding to us with a permanent contract. "Hopefully we can get the best for him and the best for us. I respect him as a player and as a person. He is training well, but we have one circumstance with him. "Hopefully we can get a solution for him to try to play consistently and try to continue in his career with us or not."

"Boys that age don't get given these sorts of opportunities with that regularity unless they're incredible talents," one agent said. "We saw it with Lewis Miley a couple of seasons ago, then Kobbie Mainoo, but he was a little older. "More often, you see young players get a few minutes off the bench, or start matches out wide away from the spine of the team. But to be in the middle of the park? Well, that's special."

And a somewhat toxic atmosphere at Molineux was not helped when United took the lead soon after with a disastrous goal. Andre dallied on the ball in midfield, Casemiro tackled him and the ball ran on to former Wolves forward Matheus Cunha. He squared the ball for Bruno Fernandes, who slipped in the rain but still had time to get up and somehow squeeze the ball through Sam Johnstone and in.

The draw for the FA Cup third round has given EFL and non-league sides their first chance to take on date a Premier League club in this season's competition. Holders Crystal Palace will start their defence at Macclesfield, who are among the sixth-tier sides hoping to cause a shock. Weston-Super-Mare are away to League Two Grimsby Town, while there are four all-Premier League ties.

The term 'Olmpico' is used to describe a rare goal where a player scores directly from taking a corner without any other player getting a touch on the ball. Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes scored an Olimpico goal on Saturday during their 2-1 win over Burnley. The term comes from the first ever recorded goal of its kind, scored by Cesareo Onzari in 1924 for Argentina against Uruguay.

Daniel Farke is going to be safe in his job for now, that's no surprise. Regardless of the Liverpool result, I think they would've been happy for him to stay in the job. They have to be realistic about their chances this season, I don't think he saved his job just because of those results, because they were always going to be tough games.
