Ange arrives at Forest, England click and the Manchester derby

Jimbo's joined by Adrian Clarke, Benji Lanyado and Duncan Alexander as we gear up for a tasty weekend of enticing fixtures as the Premier League returns after the international break.

We begin with the news that broke (very) late on Monday night/ early Tuesday morning with Nuno Espirito Santo relieved of his duties at Nottingham Forest - replaced by Ange Postecoglou before lunchtime. Matt Davies from the Forest Focus podcast drops by to give his take on the dramatic week at the City Ground. So how will they fare against Arsenal on Saturday?!

There's a recap of all the midweek international action - including England turning on the style in their 5-0 win out in Serbia. Plus, Norway took a huge stride towards the 2026 World Cup as they put just the ELEVEN goals past Moldova on Tuesday evening! Tor-Kristian Karlsen brings us a flavour of the excitement building back in Oslo and beyond.

And of course, we've got all the build-up to the Premier League weekend - and the small matter of a Manchester derby to look forward to at the Etihad. Meanwhile, can Scott Parker avoid a 9-0 defeat on his return to Anfield? Can Jack Grealish get another two assists against his old side Villa?! And will West Ham prove that shock win at Forest last time out wasn't a fluke when they host rivals Tottenham?
