Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Benji Lanyado and Luis Miguel Echegaray onto the pod during a week of multi-competition action.

It’s a humbling night in the Carabao Cup for Arsenal and Man United, with Erik ten Hag’s holders in particular suffering another damaging defeat at home to Newcastle. Just when you thought the banter years were over.

In the Premier League, Mauricio Pochettino gets ready to return to league leaders Tottenham with Chelsea. But is Poch an elite-level manager?

It’s one year since Unai Emery’s first game in charge of Aston Villa and being Peru’s number 1 Villa fan, Luis reflects on 12 months that couldn’t have gone much better.

Plus the Copa Libertadores final, the most one-sided fixture in English football history and the most 80s fixture in the Premier League.

Produced by Charlie Jones.
