Guess what?

Grayer still skies over Villa and Manchester City because both teams dropping points in midweek, which means it's Arsenal who kick off in a few hours against Liverpool as we record this on a Thursday morning.

They could go eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.

As Jose Mourinho once said, eight points, that is a lot.

That is a lot.

In other news, Barcelona through to the Supercopa final.

Resounding win.

Inter win at Parma as well.

Jonathan David, see, he wasn't that bad.

Funnily scored again, yeah.

Yeah.

But let's start at Manchester City because they were playing Brighton.

They're playing Brighton at home.

Obviously, the focus is going to be on the two centre-backs, Ruben Diaz and Joschka Vardal came off injured.

Vardal won't be back for some time now.

Are we just going to blame Kuzanov and Little Max who just came back from Watford?

I want to reinforce this.

This was a game where Brighton had a couple of very good chances.

City had, I think, their XG was well over two.

City did have their chances in this game.
