In a loaded Friday pod, Stateside Abroad discusses all of the action from around the continent in Europa League match day three including another good showing from the Arsenal reserves before diving into the full slate of Premier League action. Burnley & Brighton's unexpected relegation battle, Che Adams' chances without Danny Ings, and the identity crisis of United are all on the agenda in the first half of the show. Later, we discuss a loaded Sunday slate which sees two of the biggest games of the season so far as Champions League hopefuls Leicester and Wolves collide just hours before title favorites Liverpool and City go head to head. We discuss the difficult lineup decisions for Jurgen Klopp, whether Gabriel Jesus is ready for a full ninety-minutes, and whether Praet, Maddison, or Under should start for Leicester.

Following on last week's draw with Chelsea, Manchester United again produced almost nothing going forward while Arsenal were only slightly more successful running at the United defense. Stateside Abroad wonders why United came out so flat after a strong showing in midweek and who is most responsible for United's shortcomings. (Hint: It's not Ole!) Plus, we discuss the continued fade of Everton and Villa (who again temporarily joined La Liga), Brighton's return to form which ultimately proved fruitless, and whether Spurs have the credentials to truly chase the title.
