Stars Abroad: Kudus provides first Premier League assist as Spurs fall to Villa

Manchester United faces challenges this season, with fans protesting against alleged ticketing issues and discontent with the Glazer family and minor shareholders. United's team performance has been mediocre, scoring only four points in their first four games against Hull, Ipswich, and Everton. The team failed to benefit from Phil Foden's sending off against City, with only Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford displaying their skills.

Bryan Mbeumo, once a standout player, has regressed. United's defensive struggles are particularly concerning, as their defense has raised concerns among supporters. Liverpool, on the other hand, has faced its own set of problems. After impressive wins over Ipswich and Atletico Madrid, their home match against Fulham showcased multiple failings, including a lack of freshness from their players, poor defending, and subpar performances from key players like Kostas Tsimikas and Andy Robertson.

Liverpool's manager, Andoni Iraola, attributes the team's struggles to fatigue and lackluster performances. Leeds, meanwhile, has had a successful season, finishing third in the table after an unbeaten run. Manager Daniel Farke's tactical changes, including switching to a back three/wing back system, have bolstered the team's defense and attacking prowess.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been in great form, while newly signed goalkeeper James Trafford is settling in well.
