Summary

How on earth did Man City lose to Bodo/Glimt and what does Pep need to do to get his team going again? Arsenal are top of the Champions League and looking imperious, is this the year they win it all? Newcastle looked impressive at home to PSV but how will they fare in Paris next week as they look to clinch a top 8 spot against PSG? Have Liverpool quietly turned a corner in recent weeks? Gary, Alan and Micah also discuss the continued overall dominance of the Premier League clubs in Europe as all five Premier League clubs have a chance of finishing in the Champions League top eight and the Pod Wars are starting to ramp up!
