Rezaa: Hi Phil. With Liverpool now four points ahead of Arsenal, would a win at the Emirates, which seems possible given the injuries to big players like Saka and Odegaard, effectively take Arsenal out of the title race event at this early stage in the season?

Phil: Morning, Rezaa. I think it would be too early to suggest an Arsenal loss would take them out of the title race as there would still be 29 games to go after next Sunday but there is no doubt the stakes have been raised for them after their loss at Bournemouth and wins for Liverpool and Manchester City.

The loss of William Saliba to suspension after his sending off at The Vitality Stadium certainly does not help their cause.

What happened?

In the first half of Ipswich Town's 2-0 defeat to Everton, Tractor Boys winger Jack Clarke had been awarded a first half penalty by referee Michael Oliver following contact Toffees winger Dwight McNeil.

After a look at the monitor and conversations with video assistant referee Graham Scott, Oliver reversed the decision after Clarke had actually kicked McNeil.

What was said?

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna said: "Jack [Clarke] rolls inside the box, he is around the penalty spot and about to shoot and Dwight McNeil lunges his leg across the line of the ball and Jack's swing of the ball when he is about to probably score."

"Of course he kicks Dwight McNeil, but I understand you can't lunge across the ball like that when someone is in their backswing. I'm sure Sean will see it differently but in terms of clear and obvious unless I'm wrong I can't see how that is clear and obvious. It's a really debatable decision but from everything I've heard is that they wouldn't go against that decision."

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil claimed the original call for offside against Bernardo Silva should have stood.

"I am trying to remain calm," he said on Sky Sports. "I have been involved in a few of those and not had many go in our favour so was expecting that outcome.

"There is some grey area that can go either way and once it was like that I wasn't confident it would go our way."

Replays of the incident also showed Silva backing in and nudging his Portugal international team-mate Sa as the corner came in.

The goal was initially ruled out for offside, but a player cannot be offside from a corner.

By the time Stones connected with the ball, Silva had moved away from Sa and deemed not to be impacting the keeper's vision or ability to get to the ball.

It could, however, be argued Silva should have been penalised for a foul on the goalkeeper.

Rich: Morning Phil, I’m noticing more often, the Liverpool game yesterday an example, that sides are going against a strong press and tending to sit and wait a lot more. Is this a worry for managers that like to play out from the back, draw sides in and counter-attack, like Manchester City. We’ve seen in a few games recently that they struggle when having to break teams down that set up shop in this way. Do these teams need a plan B?

Phil: Hi, Rich. I think Liverpool are going to be interesting viewing this season because they are adopting a more measured, composed approach themselves, rather than the thrilling full-tilt approach under Jurgen Klopp.

The wins may be narrow, but they are still wins, and yesterday was a big test against a Chelsea side I think will be challenging for the top four.

Liverpool have the players to adopt a “plan B” without a doubt and I’m sure Arne Slot can be adaptable – and with players of the calibre of Mohamed Salah there is every chance “plan A” will work eventually.

Liverpool have such attacking quality that sitting back against them is a dangerous game as they have players, such as Salah, capable of producing that one moment of class to win a game.

That 2-1 victory over Wolves made it 31 Premier League matches unbeaten for Pep Guardiola's side - a new club record.

Their last defeat in the top flight came against Aston Villa in December 2023.

Former Manchester City and Aston Villa defender Micah Richards said on Sky Sports: "I would like to see a goal be given for this because I don't think there's too much contact.

"But the fact of the matter is that he [Silva] is still in the keeper's way so it has affected the play in my opinion. You want consistency as sometimes you see these given and sometimes not.

"There's a slight nudge that puts the keeper off balance so he's not set, so I can understand why Wolves will feel aggrieved at this particular moment."

Former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge, also speaking to Sky Sports: "Bernardo has played it perfectly because he's timed it. As the header has gone into the back of the net, he's off the keeper. It's like, 'I've done my job but I've not impacted it'.

"For me, I do believe he has affected the keeper slightly. It's the timing of the header."

Wolves manager Gary O'Neil referenced a very similar Wolves goal ruled out last season in a 2-1 defeat to West Ham.

Max Kilman headed home from a corner on that occasion, but it was disallowed after Tawanda Chirewa was deemed to have impeded Hammers keeper Lukasz Fabianski.

The Premier League match centre released these images of the two incidents:

The Premier League's match centre posted on X about Sunday's goal:

"The VAR deemed Bernardo Silva wasn't in the line of vision and had no impact on the goalkeeper and recommended an on-field review. The referee overturned his original decision and a goal was awarded."

The offside law states: "The attacking player is penalised for preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the goalkeeper's line of vision."

Manchester City

Here are Manchester City's remaining Premier League games before the international break. They've also got two Champions League matches and a League Cup tie against Tottenham.

The next target for Pep Guardiola and his team will no doubt be extending that unbeaten Premier League run to the break.

• Sat 26 Oct: Southampton (H)
• Sat 2 Nov: Bournemouth (A)
• Sat 9 Nov: Brighton (A)

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil praises his side's "excellent" performance despite their 2-1 loss to Manchester City.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says they are not used to "winning so late" after their narrow 2-1 victory against Wolves.

The VAR reviewed the offside decision on John Stones' winner, and then recommended referee Chris Kavanagh check the pitch-side monitor.

Replays showed Bernardo Silva ducking and not in Jose Sa's line of sight, so Kavanagh awarded the goal.

"Stones' goal was disallowed on-field due to Bernardo Silva being in an offside position and in the goalkeeper's line of vision," the Premier League's match centre posted on X.

"The VAR deemed Bernardo Silva wasn't in the line of vision and had no impact on the goalkeeper and recommended an on-field review. The referee overturned his original decision and a goal was awarded."

The offside law states: "The attacking player is penalised for preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the goalkeeper's line of vision."

John Stones' dramatic stoppage-time winner kept Manchester City in touch with Premier League leaders Liverpool as the champions beat battling Wolves.

The defender's header - in the fifth minute of injury time - was given when referee Chris Kavanagh awarded the goal on review, to the hosts' fury, after it was initially ruled out for offside.

Josko Gvardiol had earlier cancelled out Jorgen Strand Larsen's opener for Wolves, who remain winless this season and are bottom of the Premier League.

Sunday's win for Liverpool against Chelsea at Anfield threw up plenty of possible questions you might want to ask BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty.

Here is a reminder that you can pose those questions using the contact details above and Phil will be on hand from around 09:30 BST this morning to answer them.

While we are on the subject of talking points, shall we assess the fallout from Manchester City's controversial win at Wolves?

While Curtis Jones and his Liverpool team-mates enjoyed a great result at Anfield, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca was full of praise for his own players, who may have left with no points but underlined their newfound guile with a gutsy display that saw them applauded off the pitch by their own fans at the full-time whistle.

"We don't like to drop points, we don't like to lose a game, but if you have to choose a way then this is probably the way," said Maresca, before adding, "I think the performance was fantastic."

If you missed this, during the week Curtis Jones announced the birth of his daughter Giselle Delilah Jones.

If you want a wholesome image to brighten your morning, click on this link to a post on X from @RisingBallers_, external to see the new dad with babe in arms next to a pic of Jones dedicating his goal against Chelsea to young Giselle...

What a week it has been for Curtis Jones, to score a winning goal at Anfield a few days after becoming a dad.

It is the sort of thing he will have dreamed about the night before the game, and he did his new daughter proud with his whole performance against Chelsea, because it really was that complete.

Liverpool's entire midfield played well in Sunday’s 2-1 win but Jones was the star of the show and I am really pleased for him. He is a local lad who has had a few injury problems and has had to be patient to get his chance.
