Jimbo, Carl Anka, Duncan Alexander and Matt Davies-Adams discuss a midweek short of goals and a weekend full of drama. Probably.\n\nManchester United put in their most impressive performance, possibly in years, as they ease past Spurs. And while results have been good, why does the football under Antonio Conte have to be so uninspiring? And what do Graham Potter\u2019s Chelsea have in store for United on Saturday?\n\nThis weekend it\u2019s Nottingham Forest v Liverpool, a\xa0fixture that throws up memories of Edward Sheringham, Robin Hood and could be decided by agent of chaos Darwin Nu\xf1ez.\n\nWolves have approached \u2013 and since been rejected \u2013 by QPR\u2019s Michael Beale. What was it about Steven Gerrard\u2019s former assistant that made the Molineux hierarchy alter their usual approach?\n\nGoals galore in the Women\u2019s Champions League. Charlotte Harpur joins us from Lyon as Arsenal dismantle the eight-time European champions.\n\nPlus 5-a-side in a swimming pool, Trevor Ford, and Palace in the Bundesliga.\n\nProduced by Charlie Jones.\n\nRUNNING ORDER:\xa0\n\n\u2022 PART 1: Man Utd beat Spurs \u2013 next up Chelsea (04.00)\n\u2022 PART 2a: Forest v Liverpool preview (via Brighton and West Ham) (21.00)\n\u2022 PART 2b: Elsewhere in midweek in the PL (31.00)\xa0\n\u2022 PART 2c: Wolves\u2019 pursuit of Mick Beale (35.00)\n\u2022 PART 3a: Lyon 1-5 Arsenal with Charlotte Harpur (40.00)\n\u2022 PART 3b: The rest of the Premier League weekend (46.00)\n\nSIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC TODAY FOR \xa31 A MONTH FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS\n\u2022\xa0theathletic.com/totally\nLearn more about your ad choices.
