Man United’s chaotic win over Chelsea | Potter Under Pressure | Liverpool Merseyside Win
Sunday SupplementShow Notes
Dharmesh Sheth is joined by ESPN’s Mark Ogden, The Mail’s Craig Hope and The Mirror’s John Cross to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.
We begin with Man United’s chaotic home win against Chelsea. Craig believes United will always have enough quality to keep bad managers in good jobs. But will this win be a turning point in their season?
Next we look at Graham Potter, who’s feeling the pressure as West Ham were booed off, after a loss at home to Crystal Palace. Mark believes Potter tries to play an attractive style of football, but is there any way back for him from here?
We also look at the difficult situation at Wolves, and whilst Vitor Pereira is struggling, Craig argues that Wolves have the right man in the role, and losing Cunha and Ait-Nouri was always going to be tough.
Elsewhere, we look at Arsenal v Man City; John thinks Liverpool are setting such a relentless standard, that already in the season we have must-win games for the teams looking to challenge.
We then move to Liverpool’s Merseyside derby win. Mark highlights Liverpool’s fire power but there’s also a running theme of throwing away leads this season.
Finally, The Athletic’s Charlotte Harpur comes on to the pod to talk of the sad news of Liverpool FC Women’s manager Matt Beard’s passing. Charlotte talks of Matt’s legacy both on and off the pitch, including consecutive WSL wins and Matt's empathetic character.

Hannah Wilkes is joined by Martin Samuel, Jacqui Oatley and John Cross to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We start with Manchester City’s 3–2 victory over Ipswich. With seven consecutive Premier League wins to kick off the season — just how impressive has this start been, and how dominant have City looked so far? Next to Chelsea, who secured a 2–0 win over Everton and kept their first clean sheet in nine months. Is this a turning point for Xabi Alonso’s side? We also look at Liverpool’s 2–1 win over Brentford, as goals from Muñoz and Isak overturned a half-time deficit to secure victory against Keith Andrews’ nine-men. And finally, another home defeat for Newcastle, who were booed off at both half-time and full-time. Matthias Jaissle described it as a much-needed reality check. We’re joined by Craig Hope, who saw this coming, but questions why Dan Burn was Newcastle’s best option up front in the closing stages. - •You can watch the sporting action live on Sky Sports.

Hannah Wilkes is joined by James Olley, Jack Pitt-Brooke and Riath Al-Samarrai to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We look ahead to Liverpool’s clash with Manchester City, as City prepare for their first match since being found responsible for breaches of Premier League financial rules between 2009–10 and 2017–18. The club has lodged an appeal against the findings. We then turn to Manchester United and Tottenham, assessing the current situation at both clubs after Solanke struck a stoppage-time equaliser to earn ten-man Spurs a point at Old Trafford. Our attention then turns to Chelsea, following their emphatic 5-1 win over Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge. Did Henderson’s brace prove he offers more than just experience to the side?
After an extraordinary week in the Premier League, how are the Sunday newspapers reflecting on the Manchester City story? Hannah Wilkes is joined by Dominic King, Jonathan Liew and Julien Laurens as we also look back at a memorable win for England in Croatia.
We begin discussing Manchester City, after reports claimed that the majority of the 115 charges against the club - for breaking Financial Fair Play rules - were found to have been proven. Man City deny all wrongdoing. We then move to England’s 3-2 defeat to world champions Spain. Jack describes it as an entertaining game, highlighting Marc Guehi’s error while also praising the strong spells of play from Thomas Tuchel’s side. Our attention then turns to Ireland, who are set to face Israel in the Nations League. Miguel discusses whether it is hypocritical for Ireland to play Israel given that they have previously played against Qatar and Afghanistan.
Hannah Wilkes is joined by Dominic King, Martin Samuel and John Cross to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We kick off with Arsenal’s defeat at Brighton, breaking down how Fabian Hürzeler’s side dominated the game through an impressive out-of-possession structure and aggressive man-to-man press, culminating in a 3-0 victory with 40% possession. We then turn to Tottenham, who scored their first two Premier League goals but lost 3-2 to Aston Villa, leaving them in the bottom three. Despite some encouraging football, Roberto De Zerbi admitted he was “disappointed, sad and frustrated” and revealed he didn’t speak to his players after the game. But is De Zerbi’s reputation beginning to come under scrutiny? Finally, we turn to another divisive VAR decision as Everton’s Barry saw a header ruled out while leading Ipswich 1-0. Despite no complaints from the Ipswich players, VAR judged Brennan Johnson to have been interfering with play. Dominic King and John Cross disagree over whether the goal should have stood — but was VAR right to intervene? - •You can watch the sporting action live on Sky Sports.
