Premier League All Access: talkSPORT's Football Podcast

Sam, Crooky are Troy debrief another eventful weekend of Premier League action where Man City remain top and with their 100% record in tact, Arsenal sit behind them but are far from convincing and could Brighton gatecrash the title race after they demolished Crystal Palace and scored the goal of the season in doing so!

We also ask if Man United's draw away at Leeds was a step in the right direction after a turbulent week at the club, Crooky is concerned that they can only seem to turn up for 'big' games.

Troy and Sam both ask why the Premier League has gotten so soft after we saw four red cards across the weekend and there's some heroes and villains too!

What a week it's been in the Champions League!

Sam, Crooky and Troy reflect on all the midweek action including Man United's defeat to Atletico Madrid and that bombshell interview from Lisandro Martinez who took aim at the clubs hierarchy and how they are running the club.

Troy questions what Martinez has done on the pitch to warrant such an interview and suggests he should improve his performances before he speaks out next time.

As for their clash this weekend, Leeds are favourites but Crooky thinks the chaos of midweek might somehow inspire Man United to get a win over their rivals.

Elsewhere, we ask if Bradley Barcola is set to shine in the Premier League after he bagged a hat trick midweek, Crooky rules Chelsea out of the title race, and Troy questions if Thomas Frank is really the man to save Fulham when they inevitably sack Arbeloa.

The first checkpoint of the Premier League season has arrived and it's Man City who lead the way after five games!

Sam Matterface, Alex Crook and Troy Deeney unpack another eventful weekend as Man City remain the only team in the division with a 100% record following their win over Sunderland and Arsenal's defeat away to Brighton.

Troy tells us why is still not fully convinced by Maresca's City and why Arsenal should still be favourites for the title despite their performance on the south coast.

There's lots of love for Brighton who have continued their fantastic start, we ask just how far they can go this season.

At the opposite end of the table it's grim reading for Spurs fans, 5 games, 0 wins, they sit rock bottom after a summer of heavy spending.
