Talking Points - Gameweek 5 Round-up
Chilean boss Manuel Pellegrini doesn't appear to want to repair his fragile relationship with Jose Mourinho, and certainly won't after labelling Chelsea a 'small team' who play like Stoke.
Pellegrini's comments come after a frustrating game against the West Londoners, in which City dramatically snatched a point courtesy of Frank Lampard.
Manchester United's convincing 4-0 victory over Queens Park-Rangers appears to have been a one-off after losing 5-3 to Premier League newsboys Leicester.
Despite United's obvious attacking threat with Radamel Falcao, Angel Di Maria, and Robin Van Persie - their defence clearly lacks structure, direction and leadership.
Mesut Ozil began to prove his doubters wrong after putting in a good shift against Aston Villa on Saturday.
The Gunners ran-out three-nil winners with the £42m German international scoring the first and assisting Danny Welbeck's second.
Garry Monk's persistent claims that Roy Hodgson doesn't make the trip to see his Swansea players back-fired slightly.
The Swans went down 1-0 to Southampton with the England boss watching Nathan Dyer, Wayne Routledge, and Jonjo Shelvey.
