Salah Bombshell | Ashes Update | Villa stun Arsenal

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jonathan Liew, Dan Kilpatrick and James Olley to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with Mo Salah’s explosive interview, in which he hints at a breakdown in his relationship with Arne Slot and suggests he feels unwanted at the club after being benched again.

Next, we turn to the Ashes, where England have finally shown some fight — but the question remains: why has it taken so long? Jonathan believes it’s a huge missed opportunity and compares England’s approach to “Ange-ball.”

We then turn to the WSL, where we’re joined by Megan Feringa to ask what’s gone wrong for Arsenal’s Champions League winners. Megan believes the presence of so many high-profile players has led to an overreliance on individual brilliance rather than unity and a cohesive style of play.

Next, we move on to the World Cup draw. While James criticises the politicisation of the event — highlighted by Donald Trump receiving a peace prize — we focus on England’s fixtures and travel itinerary.

We then look at Arsenal’s defeat at Villa Park. James highlights the state of the squad, noting they used a sixth different centre-back pairing at the end of a gruelling run of fixtures. Are they starting to look vulnerable?

Finally, it’s a tale of two Manchester sides. Manchester City’s dominant win over Sunderland has cut the title race gap to just two points, with Pep’s men looking like they still have gears to spare in the new year. Meanwhile, after Manchester United dropped another two points at home to West Ham in midweek, you have to ask: are the lower European spots the best Amorim’s team can realistically hope for this season?
