Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League with victory over Chelsea at Anfield as manager Arne Slot's outstanding start continued.

The Dutchman is the first Liverpool boss to win 10 of his first 11 games, this latest triumph sending them a point clear of Manchester City following their dramatic stoppage-time victory at Wolves earlier.

Mohamed Salah put Liverpool ahead from the spot after 29 minutes following Levi Colwill’s foul on Curtis Jones, though a second penalty awarded on the stroke of half-time for Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez's block on the same player was overturned by the video assistant referee (VAR) after initially being awarded by referee John Brooks.

Chelsea took advantage of that VAR reprieve to equalise three minutes after the break, Nicolas Jackson racing clear to score, the goal awarded after being ruled out for offside.

Liverpool took only three minutes to restore their lead, Jones stealing in at the far post to steer Salah's cross past a hesitant Sanchez in front of a joyous Kop.

It mean Slot's only loss since succeeding Jurgen Klopp was to Nottingham Forest at Anfield in September, while this was Chelsea's first league defeat under new manager Enzo Maresca since the opening-weekend home reverse against Manchester City.

Welcome to another day of football news, match reaction and build-up.

Plenty to get through today after what was an intriguing weekend in the Premier League after the return of top-flight domestic football following the international break.

After Arsenal fell to their first defeat of the season on Saturday following another red card, Sunday saw defending champions Manchester City respond with a controversial win at bottom club Wolves, while Arne Slot's Liverpool came through a tough test at home to a strong Chelsea side.

The tests keep on coming for Liverpool, who face a trip to RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday before travelling to a wounded Gunners side on Sunday in the Premier League.

Can an Arsenal outfit shorn of suspended defender William Saliba atone for their loss at Bournemouth by cutting the four-point gap to the leaders?

BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty will be on hand later this morning to hopefully answer some of those questions for you.

We will also build up to the final Premier League game of the weekend, with Nottingham Forest hosting Crystal Palace tonight.
