Episode notes

Rob Jones is joined by The Mirror's Darren Lewis and Sky Sports Chief Reporter Kaveh Solhekol to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We start with Manchester City, and with only one win in ten, Kaveh talks of Pep Guardiola being at tipping point.  Juliette Ferrington sits down with the Manchester City boss, who says his players have had greater success than any team and would have won again this season had it not been for the relentless schedule of fixtures.

Next to Liverpool, who came from behind with ten men to gain a point against Fulham.  Was Robertson’s sending off incident a clear goal-scoring opportunity?  Darren believes so, Kaveh disagrees, but both place Slot’s team clear title favourites.

Also, with no goal in open play for five and half hours for Arsenal, Kaveh criticises Arteta for taking Odegaard off; will their failure to consistently score goals be their Achilles heel?

Elsewhere, we discuss Gareth Southgate’s pending knighthood and issues with the Saudi World Cup.

Finally, Natalie Gedra sits down with Kevin De Bruyne, who talks of City’s current struggle, an ageing side and being resilient to criticism.
