We don't rest on International weekend, so are back with our latest views on the key Premier League talking points, specifically previewing the weekend's matches.
We focus on Manchester United against Liverpool, asking how United can end their bad form and how Liverpool could really hammer their old foes.

Ben Coley hosts the latest edition of our Weekend Best Bets podcast, as our team provide their racing, football and darts selections for Friday and Saturday.

It's been a week to forget for Aidan, Billy and Tom as they discuss all things Sky Sports Fantasy Football. We're all delighted (yes, absolutely delighted, honest) that it is another international break but it gives us time to have a look at our teams and work out any changes to be made. The team look back on last week's results and some of the standout performers who continue to shine as the weeks progress. The likes of Tammy Abraham, John McGinn and Ricardo Pereira are discussed as we look to find those bargain buys to go forward with. Of course, the football will eventually return though and there's some tough runs ahead - particularly for Crystal Palace that will want to make you take out every single Palace player in your squad. Fear not though! We're here to guide you through every step of the way...

The Sporting Life football team of Tom Carnduff, Paul Higham and George Pitts discuss all the latest Premier League action. The trio look back on the last round of fixtures which saw Liverpool move eight points clear at the top as Manchester City fell to a surprise defeat to Wolves. Manchester United continue to struggle and the pressure is mounting on Tottenham. Who has been the biggest surprise so far? What about the biggest disappointment? We also make our predictions as England's top-flight takes a couple of weeks off due to the international break.

Dom Newton-Collinge, Tom Carnduff and Sky Sports presenter David Prutton sit down to talk all things Sky Bet Championship. We look at the form of West Brom, Nottingham Forest and Preston North End with the trio all sitting high in the standings. With key incidents in Millwall v Leeds, Forest v Brentford and Fulham v Charlton at the weekend, would VAR be a welcome addition in England's second tier? At the other end, the Cowley's are starting to get results at Huddersfield while performances at Stoke haven't matched their points return. What next for Jonathan Woodgate and Middlesbrough? We look at all that and more as Dom also confesses his love for football as a whole.
