What the report says

BBC Sport Football’s Football Daily episode on Radio 5 Live, published on 6 September 2026, reviews a busy Premier League weekend with Rick Edwards, Luke Edwards and Clinton Morrison. The discussion centers on Arsenal’s strong start to the season after they came from behind to beat Chelsea, a result presented as an early marker in the title race and a sign of how difficult they may be to stop as champions.

The episode also covers Everton, where Ainsley Maitland-Niles scored late to cap a positive end to what is described as a difficult week for the club. Liverpool’s win at Ipswich is another focus, with Alexander Isak highlighted for scoring twice and showing encouraging signs. The hosts also note Manchester City’s continued ability to get results, even if the broader performance picture is not detailed in the snippet.

Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest’s frustration with VAR is discussed after they were denied what they believed was a winning goal against Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs are described as still searching for their first win and first goal of the campaign. The episode ends with concern over Fulham, who have now lost three matches in a row.

More generally, the podcast offers a weekly round-up of Premier League talking points, combining match reaction with early-season context around title contenders, struggling clubs and controversial decisions.
