Pulisic gave Chelsea a spark in flat draw at Brentford (ESPN)

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was the MVP, but USMNT star Christian Pulisic offered a spark off the bench as manager Graham Potter rotated.

Nothing came of it, however, and as Brentford continued to make the running, the 21-year-old was substituted just after the hour mark as Potter sought to reshuffle his attack.

Brentford 0-0 Chelsea: Entertaining draw brings Graham Potter's ... (Eurosport.com AU)

Mason Mount of Chelsea during the Premier League match between Brentford FC and Chelsea FC at Brentford Community Stadium on October 19, 2022 in Brentford, ...

Potter gamble doesn't pay off - It is way too early to lead to a pile on for Graham Potter, especially given how well he has started in charge, but his starting line-up with five changes did seem to give Brentford the momentum early in the match. He has kept five clean sheets from eight games played this season and his command of his box, along with sub-standard finishing perhaps, was pivotal in Brentford failing to hit the target. Chelsea also had chances with last-ditch defending, especially from Ethan Pinnock, denying them on a number of occasions.

Chukwuemeka potential excites Chelsea following £20m transfer ... (Goal.com)

Carney Chukwuemeka boasts “exciting” potential, says Graham Potter, with Chelsea happy to be giving a 19-year-old prospect Premier League minutes.

That was just the thinking. They affected the game. Living up to that hefty price tag will not be easy, having taken in just 15 senior appearances for Villa, but the talented teenage midfielder is seeing game time for Chelsea and working under a manager that sees him becoming a superstar of the future.

Cristiano Ronaldo Manchester United walkout sends Todd Boehly ... (Football.London)

Chelsea news: Cristiano Ronaldo storming off during an objectively positive night for Erik ten Haag proves why Todd Boehly should steer well clear.

It is not the first disciplinary issue with the 37-year-old this season, and it is unlikely to be the last given his new status as a substitute. "I can say that it is a combination of football and human values." Ronaldo's antics prove the circus that follows the superstar around. Ten Hag was forced to confront the issue in his post-match press conference. Ronaldo's selfish tendencies have been mostly justified by his match-winning displays on the biggest of occasions throughout an astonishing career. United have now beaten Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs at home, all teams for whom they will be competing for a Champions League qualification spot.

Ronaldo didn't appear happy as an unused sub in Manchester United's win over Tottenham.

While his wages were an issue with moving during the summer window, there's a chance that during the winter window Ronaldo and Manchester United can part ways before the rift grows. He also won't be training with the senior squad, according to reports. Manchester United defeated Tottenham 2-0 Wednesday to keep their push for a top-four place going, but instead of being asked just about the performance of players on the pitch, manager Erik ten Hag had to field questions about striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo is unlikely to start for Manchester United against Chelsea on Saturday and he is still dominating the buildup.

He was reluctant to let the player leave in the summer — fearing his squad would be left short of a prolific goal-scorer. “Cristiano will not be part of the Manchester United squad for this Saturday’s game against Chelsea,” United said in a statement Thursday. It was a magnificent performance from all the 11 players.” I want to keep the focus on this team. Ronaldo will also train away from the first team until after that match, United said.
