Max Rushden, Barry Glendenning, Simon Burnton and Lars Sivertsen run the rule over this week’s Carabao Cup action, where Pep Guardiola blamed the ball for not scoring against Wolves, Slaven Bilic’s West Ham produced a comeback of epic proportions to stun Spurs at Wembley and a new hero emerged at the Emirates after Arsenal’s 18-year-old substitute came to the rescue against Norwich.
Speaking of managers, Leicester have found theirs, but how will Claude Puel’s style of football go down at the King Power Stadium? Everton may have been knocked out by Chelsea but their performance under caretaker David Unsworth won over fans: is he really a long-term option?
In part two, the pod reflects on England edging a step closer to World Cup glory … in the Under-17 version at least, while there’s a full round-up of midweek Serie A fixtures and Scottish action. Finally, the focus shifts back to the Premier League and a comprehensive preview as Manchester United prepare to take on Tottenham, Jürgen Klopp faces the best man at his wedding, there’s a not-so-Super-Sunday in store and Crystal Palace and West Ham battle it out at the bottom.
Back on Monday!
