Stel, Rhodri Giggs, Andy and Coach Kojo review the weekend's Premier League results with Kevin De Bruyne  taking centre stage after dismantling a hapless Arsenal.

The lads discuss Everton's draw at Old Trafford with Duncan Ferguson's treatment of Moise Kean overshadowing David De Gea's poor decision leading to the Toffee's goal.

John Fleck's brace in Sheffield United's victory over Aston Villa pleased Stel as it got him 15 FPL points, while Chelsea's loss at home to Bournemouth was put down to missed opportunities.

Andy shares his thoughts on Tottenham's impressive win at Molyneux and Mo Salah's return to form.

In our European review, Kojo is less than convinced that the Bundesliga title will go anywhere else but back to Bavaria with Bayern.

All this plus EUROTRASH!

On the second part of our interview with Mark Wilson, we discuss Mark's time at Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson's methods on teaching youngsters humility, the current crop of United's academy players who've broken into the first team and the club's incredible record of having at least one player from the academy on a match day squad for 4,000 consecutive games.

Stel and Rhodri Giggs are joined by Kagey and Yiannakis for a Prem and European roundup.

We begin with the Manchester derby and United's win over City that probably ends their rival's title hopes.

Liverpool and Leicester's convincing wins are next on the list, followed by the "Big Dunc" factor at Everton.

Son's contender for goal of the season is shot down, as are Watford's chances of staying up.

Southampton are Kagey's tip to join Watford in the Championship and Yian praises Andy Carroll as Newcastle win again!

We wrap up the show with a quick Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga review, and there's also the small matter of EUROTRASH!

Former Leicester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Wigan, Birmingham, Newcastle Jets and England striker Emile Heskey joins Stel and Rhodri Giggs to have a bit of a chat about his career in the game.

We delve into Emile's time at Leicester City, breaking into the first team via the academy and working under Martin O'Neill's tutelage.

Emile tells us about his experiences at Anfield, playing alongside the likes of Robbie Fowler, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, winning a treble in 2001 and his favourite goal for the club.

Rhodri quizzes Emile about England's "Golden Generation" and the alleged lack of unity in the squad.

Emile's autobiography "Even Heskey Scored", published by Pitch Publishing is available on Amazon and other good book stores

Leon Knight returns with a long awaited #KV, talking about many football related topics, namely;

- Everton's precarious situation

- The "Black Friday" headline from Corriere Dello Sport

- Megan Rapinoe & women's football

- Ruiz vs AJ

and more!

Stel, Rhodri Giggs and Little Andy return to review the midweek Premier League results.

We begin at Anfield where Origi's fine performance in Liverpool's 5-2 win over Everton earns the Belgian international high praise.

Everton's dismal display in the Merseyside derby spells the end for Marco Silva who was sacked this afternoon; another topic of discussion for the panel.

There's more misery for Arsenal after they suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Brighton. Rhodri and Andy have their say on Ljungberg's start as interim boss.

Man Utd's win over a slack Spurs side is on the docket, as is Crystal Palace's surprise league position following victory over Bournemouth.

It wouldn't be a Prem review without a VAR incident which is what we got in Newcastle's shock win at Bramall Lane.
