Summary
Gab Marcotti and Natalie Sawyer are joined by James Gheerbrant and Paul Hirst ahead of the Manchester derby. While United were securing a famous win in Turin, City were smashing Shakhtar but with the help of a bizarre penalty awarded to Raheem Sterling. With no foul committed, should Sterling have owned up to the referee?
And with revelations about City allegedly circumventing financial fair play, what damage is being done to the club’s reputation?
Martyn Ziegler calls in after speaking to FIFA president Gianni Infantino about proposed European Super League plans and his insistence that any players to compete in such a league would be banned from international football.
Plus after their shock defeat in Belgrade and with some challenging fixtures to come, can Liverpool get through the next few weeks, in their pursuit of domestic and European glory?

| 1:18.3 | Do they look like a team that could go all the way? |

| 1:45.6 | then they're giving up I think much fewer chances from what I've seen and I think |
| 1:50.0 | they're actually a better attacking team as well and I think that's that's born out if you look at the underlying numbers they're expected goals per game are |
