Guest host Jacqui Oatley is joined by Barry Glendenning, Simon Burnton and Nick Ames to dissect the weekend’s football action, starting with the game of the weekend – of the season, perhaps – at the Emirates as Manchester United made the most of their chances to put Arsenal to the sword.

Manchester City won without truly convincing, again, while Tottenham failed to convince anyone of anything. Chelsea and Liverpool picked up good wins as the latter pops into the top four for the first time in a while, the sole winner in the bottom half, Stoke, did so at the expense of Swansea, who slip to the foot of the table.

In part two we look at the Football League, and in particular at the departure of Leonid Slutsky from Hull, as well as Fitba Corner and a managerial saga which drags on into its sixth week.

Finally, we round up action in Europe, starting in Spain with Sid Lowe, going on to get excited about the extraordinary 95th-minute equaliser from previously pointless Benevento of Serie A, and despair at the lack of a title race in Germany. In Any Other Business, we check in at Sunderland. Yikes.

We’re back on Thursday with Elis James sitting in Max’s chair.
