Summary

Jimbo's got Natalie Gedra, Duncan Alexander and Charlie Eccleshare alongside him for a look back on all the midweek action (so far) - and look ahead to MD6 in the Premier League.

We begin with all the League Cup drama - including Ekitike's misguided undressing, Diego Gomez's banger after banger - and Joao Palhinha's overhead kick. There's also reaction to Forest's 2-2 draw with Real Betis in the Europa League on Wednesday night.

Then it's all eyes on the Premier League weekend - with the battle of the unbeaten sides at Selhurst Park, Arsenal trying to break their recent St James' hoodoo, Villa hoping to end their worrying start to the season - and Chelsea desperate to recapture some of that Cole Palmer magic after his remarkable first half showing in this fixture last year.

All that plus stellar pitches, bucolic walks, tough interviews - and an unfortunate cameraman.

Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva.
