Episode notes

Teddy Draper is joined by Mark Ogden from ESPN and Andy Dunn of The Mirror to look ahead to the back pages of tomorrow’s papers and they start with Ange Postecoglou’s latest string of press conferences, as he criticises Timo Werner. After Pep Guardiola reveals in a chat with Luca Toni that he’s struggling to sleep and eat, is it realistic that he will stay at Manchester City for two more years? Then we look at England’s World Cup qualifying draw and question whether Thomas Tuchel would call up Ben White, but should it be the defender getting in touch to say he wants to be back in the squad? Then to Manchester United, and Troy Deeney says the club has created a mess with giving Marcus Rashford such a big contract. Finally a few words on Mario Lemina losing the captaincy for Wolves and the sad news of Phil Vickery revealing he has brain damage.
