Outspoken with White and Jordan

Tottenham Hotspur scored a 90th minute equaliser to draw 1-1 at Liverpool... did the result and performance show they'll have enough to retain their Premier League status? Or, was it actually the worse case scenario, as interim boss Igor Tudor will now continue in his role? And, is Arne Slot's job at Liverpool totally secure?

Chelsea lost 1-0 at home to Newcastle, but even the defeat was overshadowed by the players huddling around the ball before kick off, which referee Paul Tierney got stuck inside. Boss Liam Rosenior said the huddle was the players' decision, as they look to "respect the ball", but is this just performative nonsense?

Plus, will Michael Carrick get the Manchester United job permanently after another victory? And, after 16-year-old Max Dowman became the league's youngest ever scorer after he sealed Arsenal's 2-0 win over Everton - which sent them nine points clear at the top of the table after Manchester City's 1-1 draw at West Ham - could he make Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the World Cup?
