Derby manager Frank Lampard jokes about the prospect of Eden Hazard missing out on Derby's visit to Chelsea. Chelsea have made a dream start under new manager Maurizio Sarri. Sunday's emphatic 4-0 away win at Burnley stretched the Blues' unbeaten run in all competitions to 14 matches and the London club's supporters are revelling in the 59-year-old's enterprising brand of "Sarrismo" football.

Paul Pogba scored and provided the assist for Anthony Martial's game-winning goal as Manchester United defeated Everton at Old Trafford. Manchester United fans, haters and even players were quick to mock Paul Pogba over the incredibly odd technique he employed to take a penalty against Everton at the weekend.

City themselves did their level best to make the playing surface look presentable before kick-off, but a closer look revealed...
