Sunday Supplement

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Mark Ogden, John Cross and Jason Burt to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We start with Arsenal’s hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brighton, sealed by a stunning David Raya save, that kept them top of the league. But are Arsenal beginning to feel the pressure?

The focus then shifts to The Ashes, where England finally claimed a Test win in Australia—but John believes it was a hollow victory played out on a dreadful pitch.

Next up is Aston Villa’s superb run of eleven consecutive wins. A 2–1 victory at Stamford Bridge has moved them to within three points of league leaders Arsenal—but with Unai Emery’s side consistently outperforming their xG, can they keep this run going?

Finally, we turn to Liverpool’s 2–1 victory over bottom-of-the-table Wolves. With his first league goal of the season, we ask: has the real Florian Wirtz arrived in the Premier League?

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Martin Samuel, Dominic King and Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We start with The Ashes, as Australia defeat England in the third Test in Adelaide to seal the series. Martin labels it a “crushing disappointment” for England, while Julien points out this wasn’t even Australia at full strength. Adam Collins joins the show to praise a dominant Australian performance and predicts a 5–0 whitewash.

We then move to Liverpool’s dramatic 2–1 win over nine-man Spurs. Dominic questions Isak’s underwhelming spell after another injury, while Julien points to lingering defensive problems. 

Next, we ask where Spurs are heading, as Julien argues it’s hard to see what Thomas Frank is trying to do.

Also, Manchester United’s chaos continues after a 4–4 draw with Bournemouth, prompting debate over whether Amorim has got it wrong on Kobbie Mainoo and his role in the team.

Finally, we turn to the title race: is the pressure mounting on Arsenal? Top of the league but unconvincing, and with Gyökeres’ form in doubt, we ask who should lead the line when fully fit? And after a 3–0 win over West Ham, Man City look dominant in the title chase. Dom says, in a head-to-head, you’d pick Guardiola over Arteta every time.

Will Perry is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Sam Dean and Jack Pitt-Brooke to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with Mo Salah, asking whether his twenty-minute appearance against Brighton marked a Liverpool farewell before his departure for AFCON. 

Next, we turn to Arsenal’s late home win over Wolves, with Jack asking whether their recent habit of conceding late goals reveals a vulnerability we didn’t see earlier in the season.

We then move to the Ashes, with Adam Collins joining us to discuss how England’s performances have been perceived in Australia. Adam considers the tough conditions in the Adelaide heat for the third Test, and we ask whether England will make changes to the team.

Finally, we look at Enzo Maresca’s dramatic comments after the win over Everton, describing it as his worst 48 hours since joining Chelsea. Jack felt the remarks came out of the blue and were notably vague, and while they didn’t appear to be aimed at the fans, we ask whether they reflected a deeper discontent with the club itself.

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?

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Miguel Delaney and Carl Anka to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with Man City’s win over Leeds. Pep’s side left it late with a last-minute Foden winner, but are they truly convincing? Carl finds their style this season fun to watch, yet a bit too chaotic to win the title.

Next, we turn to Spurs’ defeat to Fulham — their third loss of the week — and the boos told the story, as fans watched a side that has won only once at home all season.

We then look at Liverpool, who have lost nine of their last twelve, and ask how realistic it is that the club makes a change with Arne Slot?

Next, we move to The Ashes. With the second Test starting on Thursday, we speak to Adam Collins about how the Australian press views England’s inconsistency — and what they must do to avoid falling 2–0 behind.

Finally, we turn to the Premier League title race with Chelsea vs Arsenal. Miguel is impressed by how suffocating and controlling Arsenal have been in the second halves of games. But while Chelsea aren’t as polished as Arteta’s side, can they genuinely challenge for the title?  Carl believes it’s Arsenal’s time.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Mark Ogden, Jason Burt and debutant Charlie Eccleshare to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with crisis-hit Liverpool. Their defeat to Forest at Anfield marked a sixth loss in seven matches, but is it too harsh for Mark to suggest that Arne Slot’s side is on track to become the worst defending champions in Premier League history?

Attention then shifts to the Ashes, where we’re joined by Martin Samuel, reporting on an extraordinary opening two days in Perth. Following a chaotic and crushing defeat for England in the first Test — driven by a blistering century from Travis Head — Martin raises serious questions about England’s preparation and their batting order.

We then turn to Manchester City, who suffered a 2–1 defeat at Newcastle, undone by a Harvey Barnes double. With a fourth league loss already this season, is Pep Guardiola’s side showing signs of vulnerability? And to what extent has Rodri’s absence contributed to their struggles?

Next, we turn to F1 news, and the Las Vegas Grand Prix, where both McLaren cars were disqualified, costing Lando Norris his second-place finish and the 18 points that came with it. With only two events remaining, how will this reshape the picture?

We then turn to Chelsea, who moved into second place with a 2–0 win at Burnley’s Turf Moor. Mark is surprised to see them so high in the table — but is he right to argue that they still don’t look like genuine title contenders?

Finally, Adam Collins returns — in good spirits — to analyse England’s predictability in the Ashes first Test and their total collapse in the second innings. Will the challenge only intensify in ten days’ time as we head to Brisbane for a pink-ball Test?

Rob Jones is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Martin Samuel and Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin by looking at England’s unbeaten World Cup qualification. But is Jacqui right to think that, while praise is due, Tuchel’s real test will be winning the tournament itself?

Attention then turns to Scotland. After their 3–2 loss to Greece, everything now comes down to Tuesday night at Hampden, where they host Denmark and hope to top the group with a win.

We move on to Wales, who beat Liechtenstein to draw level on points with second-placed North Macedonia and now look to reach the play-offs by beating them on Tuesday.

Next, we turn to England’s impressive win against the All Blacks. Martin highlights George Ford’s two drop goals in a 33–19 performance that indicates Steve Borthwick’s approach is bearing fruit.

We’re then joined by Adam Collins to preview the Ashes. With just five days to go, Australia are without both Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, and Adam believes the key will be how quickly England hit the ground running.

And finally, we’re joined by Rob Dorsett, who discusses all things England with John Cross and Jason Burt in Tirana ahead of Albania v England.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jonathan Northcroft, Craig Hope and Jonathan Liew to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with league leaders Arsenal, who were held to an entertaining 2–2 draw at the Stadium of Light after a dramatic last-minute equaliser from Brian Brobbey. Was this a chink in the armour for Arteta’s side? Jonathan believes Arsenal earned a valuable point given their injury problems in attack.

Attention then turns to Chelsea’s commanding win over Wolves at Stamford Bridge. Booed off at half-time but second in the table at full-time, Jonathan admits he’s still not sure what to make of Chelsea this season — and with only two points this season, are Wolves already staring down the barrel of Championship football next year?

We move on to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Manchester United salvaged a late equaliser in a frantic 2–2 draw.  Is Craig harsh to suggest it felt like a game where both teams lost?

Next up, with just twelve days until The Ashes, we’re joined by cricket broadcaster Adam Collins to preview the series. While much of the focus is on the prolific form of Australia’s Steve Smith, we ask whether England are well placed to take the first Test. And Jonathan Liew finds himself compared to a certain England cricketer…

And finally, a huge Super Sunday fixture between Manchester City and Liverpool may be key to Premier League title hopes.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Charlie Wyett, Dominic King and Carl Anka to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We start with Liverpool’s much needed victory against Aston Villa; the shocking run is over, but is this a real turning point for Liverpool? 

Attention then shifts to Arsenal’s win at Burnley. Charlie praises Gyokeres’ impressive first half, and after a ninth win and seventh consecutive clean sheet, Carl suggests stopping Arsenal is going to be very hard. 

Then we turn to an unhappy Sean Dyche, after a 2-2 draw against Man United.  Carl believes the ball hadn’t crossed the line before Casemiro’s controversially awarded opening goal.

Next up, another defeat for Wolves at Craven Cottage leaves relegation to the Championship looking increasingly likely, and Charlie asks: who would want to take Vítor Pereira's job?

We then look to Tottenham, who were booed off at home after a 1-0 defeat to Maresca’s Chelsea. With images of Djed Spence and Micky van de Ven walking straight past Thomas Frank at full-time, is the Spurs boss losing the dressing room?

And finally, we ask, who’s to blame for the revival of long-ball football?

*At the time of recording, Vítor Pereira had not yet been dismissed from his position at Wolves.
