The Schedulein is interesting and you do feel like if Arsenal are going second, more weeks

than not, then they might potentially be more vulnerable because Mad City had been there

and done it before.

Even if they lose to leads here, I'd be surprised if he's shown the door before the midweek

game. I think if they're lose to leads and then they're knocked out by Dortmund, I think that's

probably time up.

Has Todd Bowley hired someone on the back of two victories at the start season?

I think Southampton will go down and I think in two or three years we'll have a look at this Southampton squad that got relegated.

And I think quite a few of them will be playing Premier League football or top flight football around Europe and be very good.

Maybe there's a likeness to a couple of seasons ago from Liverpool and their top four hopes

when they would look like they were going to miss out and then they went on a great run towards

the end of the season and actually finished in third at the end.

Hello and welcome to the Athletic Football Podcast. I'm Dan Bardell and it's time for the

weekend preview. I'm joined by George Ellick, Bet365 Steve Freeth and Tim Spears as well to look

ahead to what's to come this weekend. Can Man City respond after Arsenal moved five points clear at the top?

We'll also check in on the relegation battle,

including Leeds his visit to Stamford Bridge,

with the pressure showing no signs of easing on Graham Potter,

and is Liverpool's latest resurgence real,

or can Eric Tenhaar inspire Manchester United to a first winner-Anfield

since the days of Louis Van Har.
