Is Carabao Cup the world's best tournament? – Football Weekly Extra

Join the conversation on Facebook, Twitter and email.

We start by discussing Liverpool’s penalty shootout win over Arsenal after a 5-5 draw in the Carabao Cup – a competition devoid of VAR checks and high on entertainment.

Manchester United continued their mini-revival as they beat Chelsea for the second time this season and Manchester City beat Southampton for the first, and possibly not the last, time this week.

We also discuss Richard Keogh’s contract termination at Derby and the punishment handed down by Uefa to the Bulgarian FA following the racist abuse of England players a fortnight ago.

Back on Monday.

PS: our Christmas special is the last opportunity to see Football Weekly Live in London this year, at Indigo at the O2. Max, Barry, Jonathan Wilson, Elis James – more info and tickets here.

PPS: we are also returning to Leeds in December – Max, Lars Sivertsen, Jonathan Wilson plus one TBA, click here.

PPPS: if you’re on the other side of the Irish Sea, come and see us in Dublin! Max and Barry plus two more in January – first date sold out, but get your tickets for the second date, while stocks last, here.
