Summary
Man United’s Champions League destiny hangs in the balance after defeat at home to PSG. Did Solskjaer make one of the strangest managerial decisions ever? And looking at the negatives for PSG, is Kylian Mbappe regressing?
David Moyes’ high-flying West Ham host United next. Benji Lanyado wonders if fans being back in the London Stadium could be a bad thing.
Speaking of the Moyesiah, has he left his imprint on Arteta, whose Arsenal side face table-toppers Tottenham in the North London derby.
We relive the bitter Chelsea Leeds rivalry through the decades. And Alvaro Romeo discusses how long Zinedine Zidane has as Real Madrid manager after they’re shocked by Shakhtar again.
Plus when’s the worst time to watch football? And we discuss the most watched club game ever on British television.
