Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Sam Dean, Charlotte Duncker and Riath Al-Samarrai to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We kick things off with City’s 3-0 win over Brentford at the Etihad, closing Arsenal’s lead to just two points with only three games left in the title race. With so little separating the sides, could goal difference end up being decisive — and is Pep enjoying the chase, after his “Come on you Hammers” post-match antics? Next, we head to Anfield where Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by Chelsea. From half-time grumbles to boos after Rio Ngumoha was substituted — and a hostile atmosphere at full time — pressure is already beginning to build on Arne Slot. Will he be given the time this summer to turn things around, or are the signs already there that Liverpool have regressed as the side becomes less Klopp and more Slot? We’re then joined by Megan Feringa to break down Manchester City’s WSL title triumph and ask - where will Bunny Shaw be playing next season? And we’re also joined by Luke Shanley to run through the home straight of a gripping Scottish Premiership title race, with Celtic, Hearts and Rangers all still in the hunt. Finally, to Arsenal — and while Sam is impressed by Arteta’s dancing, has the positive atmosphere around the Emirates helped fuel their upturn in form? - •You can watch the sporting action live on Sky Sports.

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.
