Villa fell 4-3 against Southampton, whereas, Everton lost 1-2 against Newcastle United. Villa have slipped to seventh, whereas, Everton have dropped down to third.
Inconsistent Paul Pogba has a terrible outing for United
Manchester United have lost thrice and drawn once from four home games this season. Both United and Arsenal didn't produce anything significant but Paul Pogba's mistake cost the hosts.

When will we see him deliver?
