Kevin de Bruyne is in the form of his life, driving Manchester City to the top of the Premier League. The Belgian has become the face of Pep Guardiola's side at the Etihad Stadium, so is he the best in England right now?

To what extent has he changed as a player under Guardiola? Is there anyone as important to their respective team as de Bruyne is to Man City? What might happen if he were to get injured?

Niall Murray was joined by Stefan Bienkowski and Graham Ruthven to talk it over. We're all just a little bit frightened of Man City right now. 29 goals in eight games. Astonishing, and much of that has been down to de Bruyne.

Liverpool face Manchester United at Anfield this weekend as they attempt to reverse what has been an atrocious run of form over the early part of the season.

The grin has been wiped from the face of Jurgen Klopp, with the German appearing a more frustrated figure by the week. So is he in trouble? Does he have the ability to turn things around at Liverpool?

Niall Murray was joined by Stefan Bienkowski and Graham Ruthven to talk things over. There was a German football question in there for Stefan, too. We need to keep him happy.

Defeat to PSG marked the end for Carlo Ancelotti at Bayern Munich, with the Italian sacked as the Bavarians' manager the very next day. It illustrated what has been a difficult start to the season at the Allianz Arena.

So what the hell is going on at Bayern Munich? How have they worked themselves into this mess? Are their poor transfers to blame? Was Ancelotti doomed from the very beginning? Who should replace Ancelotti?

Niall Murray was joined by Stefan Bienkowski (the German football enthusiast who has waited his whole life for this episode) and Graham Ruthven. Honestly, we had to calm Stefan down before recording.

Finally, the defining duel we expected between Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho is materialising. Six games into the new Premier League season and Manchester City and Manchester United sit atop the table. So is this season shaping up to be a joust between the two men?

Can anyone become a third force to break up the duopoly of the Manchester clubs? Who has the better squad - Jose or Pep? What might stop either of them from winning the Premier League title this season?

Niall Murray was joined by Stefan Bienkowski and Graham Ruthven to talk all things Guardiola and Mourinho, also discussing donuts and asking the question you all want answered - what do horses drink?

This summer marked a turning point in the transfer market. Over £1.4 billion was spent in the Premier League, with Neymar going to Paris Saint-Germain for £200 million.

How PSG are able to pay £200 million for one player, nobody is quite sure. So is it time to ditch Financial Fair Play, the regulations that are supposed to prevent reckless spending? Is this in any way sustainable?

Niall Murray was joined by Stefan Bienkowski and Graham Ruthven to talk it over. Has football once and for all lost it's damn mind?

Arsene Wenger has revealed that he turned down the chance to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson back when the Scot first planned on retiring in 2002.

So would the Frenchman have made a good Manchester United boss? Would it have prevented the decline he has suffered over the past few years? Would United have sacked him years ago?

Niall Murray was joined by Stefan Bienkowski and Graham Ruthven to talk over the hypothetical prospect of Wenger as Man Utd manager. What a strange world that would have been.

The transfer window is shut and Philippe Coutinho is still a Liverpool player. Jurgen Klopp's side can now plan for the season ahead, so are they prepared to mount a challenge for the Premier League title?

Manchester City host Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, so is this a chance for the Reds to put down a marker? Do they have the defence to sustain a challenge? Should they have sold Coutinho?

Niall Murray was joined by Stefan Bienkowski and Graham Ruthven to talk it over. Stefan talks about the Bundesliga, for a change.

Scotland face Lithuania and Malta in a World Cup qualification double-header as their hopes of making it to Russia next year start to fade.

Gordon Strachan's contract as national team manager is up at the end of the campaign, so is this his final hurrah in the job? Or is there a way in which his contract is extended once again?

If Strachan is to be on his way, who should come in to replace him? Is Michael O'Neill, the Northern Ireland boss who lives in Edinburgh, the obvious candidate? It's time to go foreign again, right?

Graham Ruthven was joined by Stefan Bienkowski and Scott McClymont to talk it over. You might be able to tell that Stefan isn't the biggest Strachan fan.

In this week's episode of 'football has gone absolutely crazy' - we discuss Barcelona's pursuit of Philippe Coutinho, the Brazilian playmaker who has been identified as Neymar's replacement at Camp Nou.

Liverpool reportedly rejected a £119 million bid for Coutinho last week, holding firm in their stance that the player isn't for sale. But are the Reds being stupid in their refusal to sell him for such an extortionate fee?

Graham Ruthven was joined by Stefan Bienkowski and Thom Watt to talk it through. Would Liverpool be better off cashing in on their most valuable asset?

The new Premier League season is up and running and this weekend marks the first heavyweight class, with Spurs hosting the defending champions Chelsea at Wembley.

Mauricio Pochettino's side finished second last season and are looking to make the next step in their development as Chelsea aim to keep their crown. So is this the Premier League's new power couple?

Niall Murray was joined by Stefan Bienkowski and Graham Ruthven. Stefan is still talking about spinning plates.
