Summary

After a hectic Champions League midweek and ahead of a more leisurely Premier League weekend, Jimbo welcomes Charlie Eccleshare, Dom Fifield and Duncan Alexander into the pod.

Erling Haaland does it again with one of the goals of the season to down Dortmund. But should Man City fans be concerned about their first 80 minutes?

Graham Potter’s first game as Chelsea manager results in a very Brighton performance and a disappointing draw with Salzburg. Is it a pointless appointment if Potter isn’t given time?

Liverpool get back to winning ways with the return of Thiago. He’s irreplaceable but possibly unreliable in terms of his fitness. Spurs meanwhile are beaten at Sporting. Have sides worked out Conte’s Spurs this season?

Plus the Premier League weekend, Boehly’s big ideas, minidiscs, and Desert Island Discs.
