Summary
Adam Leventhal welcomes Jay Harris, Jon Mackenzie, and Omar Garrick to the studio to preview the weekend's fixtures.
Chelsea vs Manchester City headlines the weekend's action as Pochettino's side look to claim another big scalp after taking down Spurs on Monday.
Tottenham will look to regroup despite losing four key players to injury or suspension as they take a trip to Wolves.
Elsewhere, Brighton are five games without a Premier League win; we ask Tifo tactics expert Jon Mackenzie whether other managers have figured them out, or if it's just a blip, as they prepare to take on Sheffield United.
Finally, as Manchester United lurch from one crisis to another, surely they have enough to beat Luton at home?
All that and more!
