We’ve survived another international break, and sweet, nourishing Barclays is back on the scene. Time, then, for a Premier League manager rankings update.

Gareth Southgate might go to Man Utd, so here’s a look at the top 10 front-runners to be next England manager whenever the time comes.
One day, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City reign shall end and they’ll need a new manager. Who’s that going to be then? Chances are, one of these guys.
At the time of the last F365 Euro 2024 England ladder in November, Kobbie Mainoo had played 10 minutes of Premier League football…
The late equaliser helps, but even without Jude Bellingham’s latest hero act there would have been plenty for England to take from the Belgium game.
Manchester City and their alleged misdeeds are back on the agenda and ‘expulsion’ has been mooted. It would be more fun to bring Daniel Sturridge back.
Brendan Rodgers and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are Premier League-winning managers in our brave new world where Man City are stripped of their post-2008 titles.
Perhaps surprisingly, England have a losing all-time record against only four countries. But their record against Brazil is absolutely honking.
England faded after a bright start to lose 1-0 to Brazil. The existing areas of England concern beforehand… are still the areas of England concern.
We’re really not being contrary here – this ranking was done before anyone even noticed Nike’s ‘playful’ flag. The Euro 2024 England kit is an instant classic….
Kobbie Mainoo is the latest in a long, line of uncapped England players named in March pre-tournament squads. What’s gone before is, at best, a mixed bag.
It now seems quite possible that no more Premier League managers will lose their jobs this season, with even Vincent Kompany managing a rare win.
Is it awful to rank the relegation battlers in order of how much we’d like them to go down? Yes, but it’s Everton, isn’t it?
The top three are still the top three, but there are some significant movers below that in our rigorously scientific Premier League Mood Rankings.
Liverpool will embarrassingly fail to win four trophies this season, but at least their tilt at history did not come unstuck against Wigan or Nathan Jones.
Generally, the nearer a team is to the top of this the more fun they are to watch. Liverpool leading from Man City makes sense.
Liverpool and Manchester City are now the only Premier League teams yet to lose from a winning position this season. Forest are closing in on Brentford.
Spurs’ non-performance against an excellent Fulham was both entirely baffling and somehow thoroughly predictable from a tirelessly unserious football club.
Spurs scored at least once in 39 consecutive games spanning four different managers, but even that prolific run comes a distant second to one Arsenal team.
Italy have almost earned their fifth spot in next season’s Champions League with England’s greater numbers now breathing down Germany’s neck.
Hard to know what to say about that Liverpool win given the cartoonishly bad Sparta Prague defending. But it’s another game ticked off.
West Ham played with thrilling attacking verve to demolish Freiburg 5-0 in the Europa League. It all begs a question: why can’t they do this more often?
CBS Jamie Carragher is essentially unrecognisable from Sky Sports Jamie Carragher but this is what happens when you encourage viral banter.
Is there really any further need for any of us to be subjected to any more Tim Sherwood? Maybe ask Cole Palmer after that excruciating exchange.
Erling Haaland was PFA Player of the Year last season but he is not Manchester City’s most important player in their title challenge.
Picking the 10 best clubs to support was actually harder than the 10 worst. Turns out most fans are miserable most of the time.
Have Arsenal just helped deliver the one regular day of Barclays of Antonio Conte’s (entirely fictitious, meme-based) dreams? We’re saying absolutely yes.
Everton’s performance at Manchester United was incredibly stupid with two penalties conceded to Alejandro Garnacho and a near total lack of attacking wit.
A couple more injury scares stop it short of being a perfect night, but Liverpool have pretty much both feet in the UEL quarters after a 5-1 win in Prague.
We’ve done Arsenal, we’ve done Manchester City, so up next it’s five reasons why Liverpool won’t win the league, with all the injuries an obvious one.
