Essential Football is back with a round-up of all the weekend's Premier League matches, featuring pundit reaction, interviews and reporter analysis from up and down the top-flight. PART ONE | Gary Neville and Roy Keane tussle over Cristiano Ronaldo while Ron Walker and Jack Wilkinson look back on a chess-like encounter between Chelsea and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. Elsewhere, Adam Bate reflects on a superb Nottm Forest win over Liverpool, while Ben Grounds is impressed by the team Eddie Howe is building as Newcastle win at Tottenham. PART TWO | After Steven Gerrard was sacked on Thursday, the real Aston Villa return with a bang to thrash Brentford 4-0 at Villa Park - leaving caretaker manager Aaron Danks understandably delighted. A similarly big weekend for Everton, with a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Goodison Park, is another observed by jet-setter Ben Grounds, while Leeds' latest defeat leaves Jesse Marsch defiant about his future. PART THREE | Les Ferdinand and Jamie Redknapp both accentuate the positives despite Arsenal dropping points at Southampton, but there is little positivity at Molineux where Wolves caretaker boss Steve Davis reacts to his side being booed off after a 4-0 hammering by Leicester.

Kelly Cates presents 'Saturday Night Football' from Stamford Bridge alongside Roy Keane and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and they witnessed Manchester United’s Casemiro score a header in injury time to snatch a draw against Chelsea. Keane feels United should be scoring more goals after they squandered several chances against the Blues but are struggling to do so as they lack a goal threat in attack. In the final part, Gary Neville joins the trio in the studio from the gantry with the focus on the ongoing ‘Cristiano Ronaldo saga’. Keane and Neville have an extended heated debate over the Portuguese’s future at the club. Neville feels it would benefit everyone involved for the forward to leave United as soon as possible with Keane disagreeing, saying the legend still has a role to play for the team this season. There is also post-match reaction from Bruno Fernandes as well as both managers, Graham Potter and Erik ten Hag, who admitted the Red Devils missed having the option of Ronaldo after he was dropped from the matchday squad.

Essential Football is back fresh on the heels of the news Steven Gerrard has been sacked as Aston Villa boss and with three big games for Ron Walker, Pete Smith, Declan Olley and Jack Wilkinson to preview in the shape of Chelsea vs Man Utd, Southampton vs Arsenal and Tottenham vs Newcastle. PART ONE | After looking back on Gerrard's dismissal, is it the end of the road for Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford with the announcement he won't feature at Stamford Bridge? What's Erik Ten Hag been doing so right in his opening 10 games and what's clicked for his opposite number, Graham Potter?
