Max Rushden is back from his Australian jaunt as Barry Glendenning, Amy Lawrence and Jacob Steinberg join him for a Football Weekly Extra after midweek fixtures saw Pep Guardiola’s side stroll to a 4-0 win at Swansea, Liverpool’s fab four fail to score against a stubborn West Brom and another Wayne Rooney goal help Big Sam’s Everton revival to continue.

The panel assess just how good this history-making Manchester City team really is after their 15th straight Premier League win. How much work do the other title-chasing teams have to do to even get close to the side already heralded as champions elect? West Ham frustrate Arsenal, but could a lack of goals be their undoing under David Moyes?

We also go nostalgic as Amy Lawrence reveals all about the documentary 89, which tells the story of Arsenal’s incredible title win at Anfield. Find out just how difficult Michael Thomas was to track down for an interview and how George Graham’s secretary’s newspaper cuttings helped him to discover players who turned into North London legends at Highbury.
