    This in the league or the conference?

    I assume what's happened here is that BT want to show whichever game it is [presumably Chelsea?] but were lolled out of existence at the thought of it being in their usual Saturday lunchtime slot, so it has had to migrate away from any potential conflict with sky owned tv time. And then whichever of Spurs and Chelsea aren't due to be on have shat the bed at the other team getting more time off so they've just caved and put them on at the same time. Fair old slog to get back from Glasgow, after all.

    TAA way too lazy then, far too easy for Fulham to get the cross in.

    I swear Fulham always score first in this game.

    Lucky to still have 11v11 here mind you.

    Well, that's a red. And there's no offside, let's get on with it. This ref looks a little out of his depth.

    Would be tremendous if Fulham hold on but once Liverpool get their today dodgy goal they’ll get another 2 mins later and that’ll be that

    Who is the co-commentator in the Liverpool - Fulham game? It's a Scouser whose voice I recognise.... Warnock?

    Stephen Warnock it is.

    Good recovery there, but I sense Fulham have this in hand. I will guess we get a late send on of Jota and Chiesa only to see the 2nd goal go in the other end. Any points a joy from here.

    This game has got some very unexpected needle to it. Love to see it. Not the wisest for Fulham though surely?

    Fulham have played really well after conceding to be fair to them. Took the sting right out the game and have got in behind Alexander Arnold at will

    I take it back. They’ve well and truly shit themselves since taking the lead, letting Liverpool come back into the game when they were comfortable

    This feels like the 3rd or 4th week in a row where results have went Chelsea’s way. Be it Arsenal and Liverpool dropping points or all the teams fighting for top 5 dropping points every other game.

    They’ll have to do something they’ve never done tomorrow and beat Brentford in the league at home. Lost all 3 times they’ve face Brentford since they came up

    Very impressed by Slot staying cool under pressure there. Had Trent not been a bomb scare Fulham would have had very little despite the 10 men.

    Robinson vital to the point in the late stages. It might be time for that difficult decision in the summer in regards Robertson.

    Jota a massive difference maker late on. Just improves the front line so much.

    I’ve clocked Jota. He is insane at FIFA (pro level good) and he genuinely plays football like he’s playing FIFA. He must have done 3 or 4 fake shots in that game alone and nobody expects it

    Ultimately a great result, just wish we had a little bit more composure to see it out after retaking the lead. But we played today with our 3rd and 4th choice CBs and overall, that's a good unbeaten run of 6 points from 4 games (Spurs (A), Brighton (H), Arsenal (H), Liverpool (A)).

    No player has played Saka as well as he did in a year. The only player that didn’t need a double team.

    John McGinn seems to get the benefit in every refereeing decision. Even when he committed murder a few weeks back the red card decision went to VAR, the on field ref wasn't interested. I think refs find his aggressive persona intimidating.

    Looks like we're getting Kelly Cates, Gabby Logan and "Chappers" sharing the MOTD job. I'm sure Joey Barton is thrilled.

    I think all three of the are good presenters to be honest with you. I like Cates when she hosts on SKY so will be a shame that she’s not on there anymore.

    They’ve probably realised if they gave it to Alex Scott then Farage and The Express would have gone into meltdown over being too ‘woke’.

    Interesting caveat to the Vietnam selection of the Brazilian striker... although cleared by FIFA and the AFF, he doesn't actually become eligible until the final group game (after 20th Dec - 5yrs after having arrived) - so he'll become eligible to play halfway through the tournament

    That's an outrageously lucky goal. Controls it off the point of his shoulder whilst looking the other way, and then absolutely shanks the cross, which somehow loops perfectly onto the attacker.

    Brighton have obviously been walking under ladders of something to have had both Alex Iwobi and Ismaila Sarr turn up against them in little over a week.

    That City line-up looks properly mental.
