    This season's 12-point haul after seven games is the same as Leicester accumulated in 2015-16 - and we all know what happened next!

    October that year signalled the beginning of a stunning 10-match unbeaten run, concluding with a 3-2 win against Everton which guaranteed the Foxes would be top of the table at Christmas.

    Even those who backed them at 5,000-1 in 2015 will surely be less speculative this time around but, with European qualification a realistic target, games against teams with similar aims can prove pivotal.

    Having won six of their last eight matches, the Foxes are buoyed by far better form than Everton, whose defeat to Southampton in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday was their third in four games.

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson: "There won't be many statistics that will bother us after last season: seven games, no goals, no points and a minus 18 goal difference. It was the worst start in Premier League history and we were strong enough to get over that.

    "The longer you don't win at home, the more the pressure will build up, but we have to go and give the performance we want to give."

    John Lennon's Imagine was number one the last time these two met in the top flight - no-one could have imagined such an impressive start to the season for Wolves.

    Their football has flowed joyously. Form suggests the run will continue.

    Palace lacked a cutting edge after fighting back at Bournemouth before throwing away a point. They need to change their style. Without a home goal so far, they have to stop the slump. Wolves play open football. If Palace catch them on the break they can get a much-needed win.

    Almost exactly a year ago, this fixture was played at Turf Moor between clubs occupying positions in Europe, with Huddersfield in sixth and Burnley in seventh.

    The pair went onto achieve their pre-season aims (and more in Burnley's case) but it has not been smooth sailing this time round.

    After a sluggish start, Burnley look to have found their way out of the fog with consecutive victories.

    But Huddersfield are still without a win. In fact, they're seven points worse off than this time last year.

    A first victory is going to have to come soon if they're to stay in the top flight for a third season.

    Is it D-Day for Mourinho?

    Gary: Of course we should've given Giggs the job straight away. No team is ever guaranteed of winning! Entertaining football and playing for the shirt comes before winning every time for me and most fans I'd imagine!

    Mic: If a manager doesn’t have the players playing his way, he adapts the style to maximize his players abilities. Jose is trying to force square pegs into his round holes and will not adapt.

    Matthew: Us match going fans have turned against Jose. We don't like his purchases, his football style, weekly changes to the squad & his man management style towards Shaw, Rashford, Valencia, Jones, Smalling, Lindlelof, Bailly, Pogba & Sanchez...United must act now.

    At Newcastle there's an obvious distance between the board and the fans. It says it all when the owner, Mike Ashley, has only met Rafa Benitez four times, he's not been backed in the transfer market and it needs to change.

    Arsenal aren't as good as their results suggest. Unai Emery hasn't solved all the problems yet, the defence still gives away easy chances.

    However, Aubameyang is firing now along with Lacazette but the issues with Aaron Ramsey's contract and other players' futures need to be solved.

    We might have McGregor v Khabib tomorrow morning but the blame battle between the United board and Mourinho is really hotting up!

    Paul: I don't understand how anyone can defend Mourinho's stodgy tactics. The actions of certain players may be underhanded but I can see why they don't want to play for Mourinho. He doesn't allow them to be at their best!

    Matt: There is a litany of errors at United. Whilst on the business side it is flourishing, a series of confusing managerial appointments, transfer policy conducted on a whim and a loss of a United style of play have led to this. Board must take some blame.

  14. Phoning it in?published at 12:39 British Summer Time 6 October 2018

    Man Utd v Newcastle (17:30 BST)

    Lacking effort. Downing tools. Not putting it in. Whatever you call it, giving anything less than 100% is seen as one of the biggest 'crimes' a footballer can commit on the field of play.

    And if several former Manchester United players are to be believed, it is an offence being committed by numerous members of the current squad.

    But is that actually the case? Has the work-rate of the United players dropped? Or are other factors to blame for their poor recent results?

    BBC Sport takes a look at the facts here...

    Jose in or Jose out?

    Cheshire: Mourinho must account for his signings which have been underwhelming to say the least however, I do agree with Gary Neville in that there are far wider issues within the boardroom which are being masked over here. Pogba should never have been bought back.

    Matt: Mourinho to stay. Very bad message to football if they sack him. The players need to do better and realise he's the Boss. Sacking him only serves to heighten player power and remove any control the Manager has.

    If he needs some good news this morning, Jose Mourinho has won all seven of his home matches against Newcastle in all competitions, seeing his sides score 18 times while conceding just once.

  19. 'He doesn't play the Man United way'published at 12:34 British Summer Time 6 October 2018

    Something has to give at Manchester United. There has been a problem with Paul Pogba and I just don’t think those players enjoy playing football for Jose Mourinho.

    If I was a Newcastle defender playing against them today, I would feel confident of frustrating their attacking talent. I have got a lot of respect for Jose Mourinho but he doesn’t play the Man United way.

  20. 'The system he has used has been very successful in his career'published at 12:33 British Summer Time 6 October 2018

    Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 live

    [Should United have appointed Ryan Giggs?] Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard have done okay in their first jobs but usually these former players have to work their way up. To parachute one of these type of players like Ryan Giggs straight into the manager's job, it could have gone terribly wrong and I think the club were scared of taking that risk.

    With Jose Mourinho you will always get trophies and success, it might not be a happy place, but he does deliver success.

    They system he has adopted through his career has been very successful, but the question has now arisen as to whether he is a dinosaur and if he is outdated? I don't think he is.
