Marco Silva has been linked with the Chelsea job following Liam Rosenior’s sacking on Wednesday

Fulham boss thought to be a leading contender to take helm at Stamford Bridge

Fulham boss Marco Silva has played down speculation linking him with the Chelsea job.

It's time for The Truth! Sam and Dougie are back together to take a look at the big debate that's beginning to rage on social media, that of who is going to be awarded Manager of the Season this year in the Premier League? The boys walk through each of the candidates, ranking them on where they would have placed them in the rankings if they were given the power to decide - especially in a year where neither title contender feels necessarily like they might naturally sweep the award. We discuss Arsenal's Mikel Arteta and Manchester City's Pep Guardiola, as well as Aston Villa's Unai Emery, Brentford's Keith Andrews, Sunderland's Regis Le Bris, Everton's David Moyes and Fulham's Marco Silva; and try to find some order in the chaos. So, is there one correct answer? Do you judge this on individual brilliance, punching above your weight or expectation, or just a team winning silverware? As ever, The Truth is somewhere in the middle...

The Blues are eyeing an "incredible" Premier League manager, following Liam Rosenior's departure.

Chelsea have confirmed they have sacked Liam Rosenior as manager. The English boss replaced Enzo Maresca in January, joining the club on a five-and-a-half-year contract. However, he lasted less than four months in charge of the London club. Chelsea released the following statement: “Liam has always conducted himself with the highest integrity and professionalism following […]

My giddy aunt, Fulham are in the FA Cup quarter final! In dramatic circumstances, Marco Silva reached deep in his pockets and found his Man United voucher just in time for Victor Lindelöf's penalty.

There’s pressure on managers throughout the Premier League this week, with disgruntled glances being shot in the directions of Unai Emery, Manuel Pellegrini and Marco Silva- though Jose Mourinho enjoyed a winning start, even if we shouldn’t make it all about him. It’s not all gloom in the Premier League though, with Liverpool, Man City and Sheffield United continuing to strut their stuff… Stuffs? No, stuff. Elsewhere, Pete is recruiting for what sounds like a worrying project, there’s yet more juice from Rafa Benitez’s time at Newcastle and there are Steves as far as the eye can see.

Man United brought an end to Liverpool’s perfect start, all among a sea of digs from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and a Sky Sports studio panel that were set up to put the boot well and truly in. Elsewhere, Jack Grealish shone for Aston Villa and Marco Silva’s Everton seemed to listen to Everton’s Marco Silva for once as they secured a comfortable win over West Ham. If that’s all a bit serious, never fear, we’re still idiots so naturally there’s plenty of discussion of sausage pipes, footballers’ surprising full names and frankly unworkable VAR alternatives.

Of course, there’s only one place we’re starting on this week’s episode of Jules & Andy: Brighton’s cracking win against Spurs. Jules, our delighted Brighton representative, recounts her recent meeting with manager Graham Potter and discusses how much the team have improved under his tenure. There’s even time for a Wimbledon update from Andy, since they won as well! Halcyon days indeed. Elsewhere, we take a look at struggles further down the south coast at Southampton who have gone three league games without a win. There’s some praise for their weekend opponents Chelsea- Willian in particular- and we also try to unpick Marco Silva’s troubles at Everton.

New manager bounce, you say? Oh no, Watford, there will be none of that. Man City got back to their ruthless best this weekend, while Liverpool saw off the plucky underdogs of Chelsea and Spurs lost at Leicester because Son Heung-min sloppily strayed a few atoms offside. Down in London, Man United continue to suffer the fate of whatever Faustian bargain they must have made, while Arsenal won a fraught and at times ridiculous game with Aston Villa, because Arsenal gonna Arsenal.
