Tottenham picked up a good point last night, but that’s really only half the story. They were under the cosh for most of the game and only escaped a drubbing thanks to Vicario between the sticks. Danny Kelly assesses the situation for us. 

And do you remember when Southampton beat Wrexham on the opening day of the season? They’ve only won a single Championship game since then. Is Will Still in trouble? George Rees-Julian is here.

With Marcus Rashford flying for Barcelona, we speak to The Athletic’s Dermot Corrigan to explain his early impact in Spain.

Norwich were preparing for a promotion push in the summer and may well be in a relegation battle now. Si Watts is on hand to talk us through their rapid decline.

We have all the details from a historic night of Champions League action, a great victory for collective protest in the face of endless expansion, and a potentially ominous development for one struggling Premier League side ahead of a crucial European fixture.

As ever, we’ll also be pointing you in the direction of which games we’ll be watching tonight, and plenty more that you may prefer.

After West Ham were brutally reacquainted with reality by Brentford, we ask Benji Lanyado if this is the nadir for the Hammers.

As Rangers finally end their managerial search with Danny Röhl, we get Joe Crann’s perspective on what kind of manager the Gers are getting.

We have news of an historic title win in Europe, details of perhaps the greatest Sunday League side of all time, and an update on one increasingly impressive manager in one of Europe’s major leagues who just signed a contract extension.

And of course, with the Champions League back, we’ll point you in the direction of tonight’s best fixtures plus a brief look at the Championship.

Harry Kane seemed to be playing in every position at once during Der Kalssiker; what was that all about, Seb Stafford Bloor?

It’s Der Klassiker in Germany this weekend and we’ve just got the slightest inkling that there might be a shock on the cards because Borussia Dortmund seem to be good again. Seb Stafford Bloor is here to tell us more.

Liverpool face Manchester United this Sunday and we’re talking formations with Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap. Is the 4-2-3-1 a problem? Is it actually a 4-2-3-1? Is this even anything to do with tactics? 

It’s a big weekend for Ange Postecoglu as well, Nottingham Forest face Chelsea and his job is on the line. What are his chances of survival, Matt Davis Adams?

Plus, we take a look at the foot of the Championship and check in on Sheffield United with Jimmy Smith of the Blades Ramble.

England have been excellent in qualifying, but they’re only going to be second favourites at best next summer, aren’t they? Spain have played four, won four, scored 15 and conceded none, and they’ve done it all with scores of key players missing. Dermot Corrigan gives us the lowdown.

And is Graham Potter set to take over at Sweden? We’re chatting to Patrick Syk of Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet about his prospects.

All they have to do is not mess up in Latvia tonight…So how good are they? Will they be second favourites next summer behind Spain? Adrian Clarke is here to discuss. 

And what sort of week has it been for Wales? One of courage under fire, or of missed opportunities. Tom Williams is here.

Jack Wilshere is the new manager of Luton Town, so how do we think that’s going to go? He’s had a good apprenticeship, he’s worked with young players, he’s done his coaching, he’s got a fine assistant in Chris Powell. Adrian Clarke gives his thoughts. 

Scotland have done it again; by which I mean played appallingly and still won. JJ Bull returns to give his verdict. 

And we’ve got all the news and views from the other big stories in football including Rangers being rejected by Steven Gerrard and Nottingham Forest being quite mad.

Thomas Tuchel took a swing at England’s fans last night for not creating a good atmosphere at Wembley. Has he got a point? We speak to England regular James Welham. 

And how on earth did Scotland beat Greece? JJ Bull is here to, well, be just as confused as everyone else.

And we’ve got another round of Heavy Metal Football Statistics. And you’ll never believe who the dirtiest team in the Premier League is…
