Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Jonathan Wilson and Philippe Auclair for Football Weekly, to look back at the weekend just gone.

Starting with Manchester City (who else?), the pod asks whether the key to stopping them might be goalkeeper-related, and just how on earth two Tottenham stars stayed on the pitch after dangerous tackles aplenty.

Next up we cover two intriguing bottom-half games, ending in 3-0 away wins for West Ham and Crystal Palace – two teams who have replaced their managers this season. Arnautovic’s celebration sparks debate, as does Lukaku’s muted acknowledgement, as Jonathan provides some history and ground rules for players considering a show of respect.

In part two, we consider wins from three heavy favourites in Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, discuss whether Burnley, who have conceded just three goals in their last nine Premier League games, have the staying power to put in a challenge for the European places and reflect on history being made by Celtic, losing for once, and Sunderland, winning for once.

Part three begins with us trying and failing to get hold of Sid Lowe and taking the discussion on Antoine Griezmann’s ‘tribute’ in-studio. We cover the rest of the major European action, reminisce over a Manchester City of Christmas past and celebrate Ryan Babel’s first ever hat-trick.
