Melissa Rudd , Paul MacInnes , John Ashdown and Lars Sivertsen discuss Liverpool flopping out of the FA Cup at Wolves, Chelsea edging Spurs in the Carabao, Manchester City winning 9-0 and all the latest transfer rumours

We look back the last couple of days of football, starting with Wolves beating Liverpool 2-1 and knocking the Premier League leaders out of the FA Cup with a wonderful long-range strike from Rúben Neves.

In part two we talk Carabao Cup, which produced two wildly different semi-final first legs this week: one a tight and tense affair at Wembley which unfurled more VAR debate than you can shake an assistant referee’s flag at, the other a score so enormous (9-0, that’s nine) that the losing manager, Burton Albion’s Nigel Clough, said after the game: “They were shouting: ‘We want 10.’ And we stopped them, that’s a positive for us.”

Finally we preview the upcoming weekend’s action with more of a focus on the Football League than usual – a trove of tasty fixtures to look forward to.

Back on Monday!
