Summary
Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Adrian Clarke and Lynsey Hooper to wave goodbye to the international break and say hello to the return of the Premier League.
Werner and Germany have a shocker, losing at home to North Macedonia. But England make it 3 wins out of 3 against Poland. It’s a game that left the panel feeling John Stones is not a natural defender and that Gareth Southgate’s in-game management is mediocre.
We get excited about Arsenal v Liverpool this weekend. Is it the Big Six fixture that always delivers? Leicester v Man City is a fixture that will no longer feature Sergio Aguero as he will leave in the summer. But is he in the top 5 Premier League strikers of all time?
Chelsea Women finally win against Wolfsburg in the Champions League. Do they have what it takes to go all the way? And Arsenal are in the market for a new manager.
Plus Duncan looks to avenge last year’s shock early exit as he takes on the debuting Adrian in the Inter Totally Cup.

• PART 1a: Germany 1-2 North Macedonia (02m 00s)
