Ian and Chris return for your mid-week 'It's All Kicking Off!' intake.

This week, Liverpool vs Manchester United is firmly on the agenda as the lads ask themselves whether Erik ten Hag's side have any chance of getting a result.

Ian gives a passionate speech (rant) on his opposition to the Club World Cup as Manchester City prepare to fly out, before exploring whether their opponents, Crystal Palace, will ever escape from their mid-table finish cycle.

AND we're joined by Daily Mail's North East Correspondent, Craig Hope, who explains what impact Newcastle's Champions League exit could mean for their upcoming clash with Fulham.
