We begin with Chelsea’s last-minute win over Liverpool at the Bridge. Whilst Laurens praises Maresca’s victory and show of emotion, he criticises Liverpool’s lack of control, with a third loss in eight days. Jason believes Liverpool’s winning start to the season was unsustainable and considers it a missed opportunity that they didn’t buy Marc Guehi in the summer.
Next we look to Man United’s home win over Sunderland; whilst Julien focuses on Amorim’s side’s lack of consistency, was this clean sheet and good performance a sign of things to come?
We then have The Athletic’s Megan Feringa on the pod to talk WSL; how far can Manchester United go this season? And with Arsenal dropping seven points already in the WSL, after bringing in Olivia Smith, why is it they can’t get over the line in the league in the same way the likes of Chelsea are able to?
We also look at Arsenal’s win against West Ham, taking them to the top of the Premier League and Julien believes the Gunners’ control gave Nuno’s side no chance of winning the game.
Finally, a gritty win for Tottenham against Leeds showed Thomas Frank’s ability to bring a different side to Spurs; Jason believes Frank can get them back in to the top four this season.

20mins – United Back to Winning Ways
38mins – Megan Feringa on WSL
46mins – Arsenal Rise to the Top
