On Halloween, you won't collect any sweets unless you knock on some doors. And if you're Manchester United, you won't score any goals unless you create some chances.

It was another frustrating day for Louis van Gaal's side on Saturday as they struggled to fashion anything and, thus, failed to score. Fortunately for them, their defence held up their end of the bargain and kept a clean sheet.

But clean sheets don't get supporters' blood flowing (and if they do I imagine the fan in question owns at least one half and half scarf). Hence the United fans chants, nay pleas, of "We're Man United, we want to attack."

Vardy, Ighalo and Mahrez probably don't earn between them in one week what Wayne Rooney pockets, yet all three are outshining the Manchester United forward at the moment.

It was another bad day at the office for the England captain yesterday as United drew 0-0 at Crystal Palace - a result that did little to appease the away fans or the critics (including Paul Scholes) who have claimed United are boring., external

Louis van Gaal obviously refutes such suggestions but it is a pretty damning statistic when your main striker doesn't touch the ball in the opposition box...

After Chelsea's poor start to the season, we're asking how you ended your slump?

Jamie Vardy isn't the only surprising name at the top of the Premier League top-scorers list. Watford's Odion Ighalo and Vardy's Leicester team-mate Riyad Mahrez are joint second with seven goals each. Both bagged a brace yesterday.

Vardy was recently playing non-league football, Ighalo was on loan at Granada not that long ago, while Mahrez was grafting away for Le Havre's second team.

Just goes to show that you don't have to spend a fortune to recruit a superstar.

Jose Mourinho has dominated our discussion all morning and is on the back pages of most of the papers.

So we want to know: Should Chelsea keep him as their manager?

Vote now at the top of the page. The vote closes at 12:30 GMT and terms and conditions can be found here.

Premier League leading goalscorer Jamie Vardy. As statements go, it is as unlikely as 'fair play-award winner Lee Cattermole' or 'long-serving Leeds manager Steve Evans'. Yet, Vardy cannot stop scoring.

The striker bagged for the eighth league game on the bounce yesterday as Leicester won 3-2 at West Brom. Only Ruud van Nistelrooy (formerly of Manchester United) has a run longer than this (10 games).

In case you needed reminding, the 28-year-old was playing non-league football five years ago. There's hope for all of us yet. OK, maybe not all of us. My professional football dream died with tie dye T-shirts and the film career of Vanilla Ice.

Here's one for Manchester City fans with memories stretching back beyond their mega-money days. Happy birthday lads. That kit, though. Oh brother.

With the champions choking, two teams are leading the charge to usurp them: Manchester City and Arsenal. Both won yesterday, although in very differing circumstances.

Table-toppers City did it the hard way, taking an age to break down a stubborn Norwich and then nearly throwing the win away (literally - looking at you Joe Hart) before snatching a last-gasp win.

Arsenal were given a bit of fortune (when Laurent Koscielny's goal was allowed to stand) but ultimately deserved their 3-0 win at Swansea.

Only goal difference separates the two at the top of the table.

While Jose Mourinho's demeanour was gloomier than a Lars von Trier marathon at Droopy's house, Jurgen Klopp bounced out of Stamford Bridge with a grin wider than the Mersey.

His Liverpool team were fantastic and provided the first real indication that the poorly-played symphony of Brendan Rodgers is being transformed into the heavy metal of his German successor.

When he arrived, Klopp announced that he wanted to turn "doubters into believers" at Liverpool. Yesterday's game at Stamford Bridge was his water into wine moment.

Right, where were we? Oh yes, Chelsea...

It all started so well for the Blues yesterday. Ramires's early header gave everyone connected to the Blues a huge lift. But Liverpool edged their way back, took control and scored the goals that gave them a convincing win. It left Jose to deliver another spiky post-match press conference...

"I have nothing to say" was his sole response when asked about the game, although he did state that he would remain in his job before adding: "The fans aren't stupid. They know how much myself and the players are trying."

A brief respite from pouring over Chelsea's continuing woes to point out that the reason we are here today is for two more Premier League matches.

First up, at 13:30 GMT is Everton v Sunderland before the south-coast derby between Southampton and Bournemouth at 16:00.

Much more on these games later.

With Jurgen Klopp and Sam Allardyce making good early impressions in their new jobs (and Jose Mourinho potentially about to vacate his), we're keen to hear from you with your examples of changes the team you play in has made to end a slump. 

Did your boys make some radical changes to stir things up? Change the kit? Stick the keeper up front? Bring in a witch doctor?

Send your tales to us either via Twitter (using the hashtag #getinspired) or text (81111 - UK only).

Mourinho also dominates the back page of the Star.

Although, they do also bring us a juicy bit of transfer news in the shape of a tussle between the Manchester clubs United and City for £30m Anderlecht teenager Youri Tielemans. I bought him once on Football Manager. Said he was homesick after a month. I hate him.

Avram Grant is a man who knows what it's like to get the dreaded call from Roman Abramovich, having been sacked after eight months in charge in May 2008. So what should Jose Mourinho be expecting?

"Normally Roman gives the manager space," Grant told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek. "He's not day-by-day wanting to know what's happening. He's not a guy who will pick up the phone every five minutes and ask what you are doing. Even when the situation is not so good he will want to show everything is calm. 

"Jose is a great manager - he was before and he still is now. He's a good manager, so then comes the mental side. He needs to speak with the players and know what the problem is. Then close the gap between the potential and the quality. Jose needs to continue and solve the problems. 

"He has done well in the past and deserves more time."

The Mail point out what we already knew; that it is now down to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to decide on Jose Mourinho's fate.

The Independent suggest that Jose has until the end of November to turn around Chelsea's fortunes. That gives him five games; three in the Premier League and two in the Champions League. It might not get this far but that fixture away at Tottenham on 29 November is already looking like a big un.

The Express go with Jose's assertion that he will stick around and battle on at the Bridge. 

They also suggest that Man City have stepped up their pursuit of Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola. And they're top of the league. Greedy.

As you'd expect, today's papers are circling like a bunch of ravenous vultures around Jose Mourinho as he crawls through the desert. Here is a selection...

Roman's axe may not have been swung (yet) but, with it being Halloween and all, there were plenty of knives out for Mourinho in the aftermath of Saturday's defeat, including Rory McIlroy's #taxiforjose hashtag, which was re-tweeted more than 2,000 times, gaining traction as far afield as Melbourne and Jakarta...

What a difference a few months can make. Back in May, after delivering the title, Jose Mourinho was untouchable. But Chelsea's game against Liverpool had been billed as the game Mourinho must not lose if he wanted to keep his job. Lose it he did. And so, if the papers are to be believed, Roman Abramovich should be sat in his office hammering away at his axe with a sharpening stone.

He's not gone yet, but is a P45 due? Our chief football writer Phil McNulty has attempted to answer that very question.
