I\u2019ll be shutting things down<\/strong> here on clockwatch quite soon, but we have a cracker in the 5.30pm (BST) kick-off Stamford Bridge with Liverpool in town. Follow along with Rob Smyth:<\/p>\n

An interesting email<\/strong> from Joshua Keeling:<\/p>\n

United fan here. Still behind Amorim, 100%. At some point you have to accept the manager is not the biggest problem. He is trying to sort out the culture of the club, get rid of problem players, and rebuild. He seems to have the resilience and charisma to do the job without it crushing him. It was always going to take more than one transfer window for his style of play to bear fruit. We knew he was committed to this formation when we appointed him, and we need to let him get the players to play it properly. Plus there have been signs of improvement this season. Yes, it\u2019s one step forward and two steps back at times, but there has been enough there to suggest he deserves more time.<\/em><\/p>\n

This win will keep the wolves from the door for a little while longer, but this result needs to be backed up against better teams than Sunderland.<\/p>\n

Thomas Frank, speaking after Tottenham\u2019s 2-1 win at Leeds, has said it is \u201cabout time\u201d match winner Mohammed Kudus scored.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pleased for Mo to get his goal and it was about time, and I\u2019m so happy for Mathys as well,\u201d said Frank. \u201cThe character he has shown as a young man from day one has really impressed me after the setback of not being in the Champions League squad. He trains well and was ready today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sesko eases pressure on Amorim as United see off Sunderland<\/h2>\n

Will Unwin<\/span><\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim will be pleased<\/strong> the only storm Manchester United had to navigate was provided by the skies. The head coach witnessed a rare comfortable victory against Sunderland to alleviate the pressure on him for a fortnight at least.<\/p>\n

Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko scored their first home Premier League goals for the club, although having joined two years apart, it indicates some of the problems Amorim has been dealing with. Apart from a brief scare on a penalty that never was, life was straightforward for United as they secured a third win and first cleansheet of the season amid downpours and gales but, like the Old Trafford roof, the hosts did their job.<\/p>\n

Saka is spot-on to seal stroll past West Ham and keeps Arsenal flying<\/h2>\n

Ed Aarons<\/span><\/p>\n

So much for bogey teams.<\/strong> In a week that Mikel Arteta\u2019s side have banished the demons of their poor recent record at Newcastle and here against Olympiakos, it was West Ham\u2019s turn to feel the force of a resurgent Arsenal as they laid down the gauntlet in the title race with a convincing victory.<\/p>\n

Other than the concerning sight of first Martin \u00d8degaard and then opening goalscorer Declan Rice having to be replaced due to injuries, this was a most satisfying afternoon for Arteta on his 300th match in charge. While 16% of Arsenal\u2019s goals under the Spaniard have come from set-pieces \u2013 a figure only surpassed by Tony Pulis and Sam Allardyce of those who have managed that many games in the Premier League \u2013 they showed they are still capable of breaking down teams who come to defend with a low block as well.<\/p>\n
