On the podcast today, the panel covers all of the midweek Premier League action, including a thrilling game at St James’ Park as Newcastle and Liverpool deliver one of the season's best games thus far. Fabien Schär’s last-minute equaliser salvaged a point after a Mo Salah brace nearly sealed it for the Reds. What does this mean for Liverpool in the title race?
Speaking of the title race, are Chelsea serious contenders for it? They climbed to second after hammering Southampton, as Marc Cucurella’s hair proved too tempting for Jack Stephens. Should we take hair-pulling more seriously in football, and should Southampton find an alternative to playing out from the back? Meanwhile, Arsenal dominate from set pieces, and Spurs continue to struggle. Is Ange Postecoglou under pressure?
Elsewhere, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City get back to winning ways against Forest, Everton shocked everyone with four goals in one game (with Ashley Young becoming the oldest Premier League goalscorer from a direct free-kick), and Leicester pile the pressure on Julen Lopetegui.
The panel also unpacks the Rainbow Laces controversy and the FA Cup third-round draw – all on today’s Guardian Football Weekly.
