Sydney FC looked one of the A-League Men’s leading candidates for silverware in the off-season and, after a wobble, may just have re-established their credentials with a thumping 4-1 win over Adelaide on Saturday. Manager Ufuk Talay returns with Joe Lolley leading the Golden Boot, starlet Hayden Matthews just sold for a bumper fee, and Asian Champions League Two ambitions simmering in the background.

Internationally, one of football’s biggest names in Neymar has this week ended his time in Saudi Arabia and returned to the safe harbour of boyhood club, Santos. Esteemed Spanish football journalist Guillem Balagué (BBC, LaLigaTV) joins the show for the first time to dissect the vexed legacy he’s carved out since leaving the club in 2013, and what could remain in store.
Also on the agenda: Arsenal and Nottingham Forest enjoy statement wins & loads more…

The ongoing trading of top spot on the A-League Men’s table between Adelaide United and Auckland FC has proven a fascinating tussle this season, and promises to continue after last week’s thrilling 2-2 draw.

No side in the Premier League is facing as many off-field questions as Leicester - but thankfully, Sunday’s 2-1 win at Tottenham has pulled them out of the relegation zone. The Athletic’s Rob Tanner joins Rob and Derek Dyson for a word on the Foxes under Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Western United are flying in the A-League Men's competition, fourth in the standings and just three points off top spot. John Aloisi has the Green and Black purring, with dynamic forward pair Noah Botic and Hiroshi Ibusuku central to their success. Western's Director of Football, former Socceroo Steve Horvat, returns for a progress report from Melbourne's west, including an update on their stadium's development...

Seven defeats from ten - intersected by defeat of Liverpool in the League Cup, and the chance of progression in the Europa League - has made for mixed fortunes. Is life as grim for Ange as the voices howling for his neck suggest, or are brighter times ahead should their injury toll correct itself?
Also on the agenda: LA infrastructure following the disastrous wildfires…

Auckland FC have made an immense start to life in the A-League, leading the competition through its early rounds and connecting with its new fanbase like few other clubs in its history. Club Football Director Terry McFlynn has been a crucial part of the project since its inception, and returns to the show for the first time since crossing the ditch.
Meanwhile, just as Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea side looked to be building a title challenge, the congested festive fixture list has seen them drop points unexpectedly to Ipswich and Palace. The Athletic’s Liam Twomey joins Joey Lynch and Derek Dyson to forecast the second half of the campaign, in which they’re still alive in three competitions.
Also on the agenda: Western United’s youth policy bearing fruit, Leah Blayney leaves the Young Matildas, and Ange Postecoglou’s continual struggle at Tottenham.
