Arsenal's rare win at Anfield last weekend made it eight wins from their opening nine league matches of the season and sent a message of gritty intent to their Premier League rivals.

It even had football statisticians Opta speculating on the Gunners winning the title by a record margin, an accolade currently held by Manchester City, who finished 19 points clear in 2017-18.

While that may be a bit premature, Arsenal's total of 24 points after nine games is the most by a team at this stage of a Premier League season since Mikel Arteta's side also had 24 in 2022-23. But of course they did not win the title that year.

Only in 2004-05 and 2007-08 (both 25 points) have Arsenal ever had more at this stage of a Premier League campaign. They are two points better off after nine games of this campaign than last season, when they won the title.

Steur came on against Everton the other night, was just positive, wanted to pass the ball forward, wanted to get it to the front players. Whether he and Nico Gonzalez can play together, I don’t know.

Jaissle is keeping to the same formula. What’s the old saying? If you keep doing the same thing, you keep getting the same result. Yes, he’s changed the personnel but it’s the same tactics. He says he wants to see our style. I don’t know what our style is. I don’t know what our style of play is at all.

Livramento, Miley and Fernandez-Pardo back on the bench is positive but it’s all about the starting eleven. The performance today has to be so much better than the two games against Everton. The win is the most important thing.

Boos and jeers from the fans and a stat pack that makes for grim reading - should Matthias Jaissle be sacked or given time to turn things around?

Newcastle have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their past 14 home league games - the longest run in their league history.

That team bus is turning into a welcome sight for the Magpies with their stats on the road slightly more encouraging than those at home.

Some colleagues in the gantry had different opinions, they thought it was a red I didn't think it was because he tried to play it with his right foot and I think that's why he stayed on the pitch.

They took a long time to look at it. Some people won't agree with it. Spurs will be feeling sorry for themselves because of how it would have changed the game.

Roberto De Zerbi now has a touch line ban for his next game. He wasn't happy with the official but overall they just didn't do enough to hurt Leeds.

They didn't have the quality at the top of the pitch.

After losing a division-high seventh home league match of 2026, it will perhaps be something of a relief for Newcastle to get back on the road.

Booed off after a dismal showing in defeat by Everton on Monday, which was capped by a red card for midfielder Jacob Ramsey, the Magpies need to address the problems that face them at both ends of the pitch.

Only Crystal Palace have faced more shots in the Premier League this season than Newcastle, whose average of 17.1 shots faced per game is currently their most in a season on record since 2003-04.

Meanwhile, only Aston Villa have had fewer shots on target than Newcastle's 29 shots. Only two of the Magpies' 17 shots against Everton were on target, with their percentage of shots on target sitting at 25.7% (29/113), the third lowest in the Premier League.

All of this points to a resigned-looking side that is lacking in confidence, which might help to explain why Newcastle have lost 16 of their past 18 league games when conceding first.

Hull City are scrapping for points and hanging on in there in a lot of games.

I get a lot of my predictions wrong for their games because I always go for them to lose, but I am not going to do anything different for them this week because of who they are playing.

Arsenal are just monsters, aren't they? They always seem to find a way and do enough to win games, even when they don't play well, and they will grind another result out here if they have to.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Right then, we'll have all the reaction to Leeds' win over Tottenham coming shortly but here's what else is still on this afternoon's schedule:

• Arsenal v Hull
• Fulham v Newcastle
• Nottingham Forest v Man City (17:30)

Leeds deserve the three points. In the second half they came out and they didn't disappoint.

They were more aggressive, got in behind and had more willing runners.

It felt like it was coming for Leeds too. The pressure just kept coming and the substitutions then came.

Big, big result for Leeds United.

All over and Leeds celebrate an impressive win over Tottenham.

A driven cross goes through to the unmarked Rodrigo Bentancur right in front of goal, but he can't prod in. The ball perhaps came to him with too much pace, but he looked offside anyway.

Great save from James Trafford, down to his left-hand side right in the corner with a great reach.

Leeds make a double change as Ilia Gruev and Joe Rodon come on for Jayden Bogle and Sean Longstaff.

Expect Roberto De Zerbi to have something to say on Bogle having still been on the pitch for this long.

Great save by James Trafford as he dives across to push away Jan Paul van Hecke's header from a free-kick.

We're into the first of four minutes of stoppage time.

Tottenham have waited such a long time, their energy levels have been far too safe this second half.

It's whether they have enough to get through this stubborn Leeds United outfit.

Harry Wilson is blocked off by Sandro Tonali as he threatened to lead a counter and Tonali is booked.

It looks like the Leeds United fans enjoyed that goal.

Time is running out for Tottenham to get something from this game with four minutes of normal time remaining.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has the chance to make it 2-0 as he gets behind the Tottenham defence. He's into the box but has allowed his marker to catch up and cut off the angle and the attack comes to nothing.
