After a wild weekend of Premier League action, Rebecca and Alex have to start with Norwich City's massive win over Manchester City which took everybody by surprise, especially Pep Guardiola. We look at how Norwich's impressive tactics and group of players (despite a number of injuries) were able to outwork the reigning champions, with praise for Buendia and Cantwell especially.
Man City, on the other hand, looked shambolic at the back and could a lack of Laporte and Kompany cost them over the course of the season?
In contrast, Liverpool maintained their 100% unbeaten record at the top of the league against a Newcastle United side who started well but were ultimately undone by the magic of the front three and particularly an outstanding performance from the wizard Bobby Firmino - and we've got plenty of praise for how Jurgen Klopp gets the best out of his players.
Chelsea also impressed against Wolves with youth being the talking point of the day as Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori all netted goals. We take a closer look at Chelsea's dynamic options going forward as well as improvements in defence and how a tactical shift could help Azpilicueta and Kepa even more.
We also delve into Tottenham's improvement against Crystal Palace and how Harry Kane and Son Heung-min looked far more dynamic, David Luiz's latest moment of madness for Arsenal, Quique Sánchez Flores' return to Watford, and Everton's higgledy-piggledy form.
Plus, way too many bedroom analogies, the players picking a pocket or two, poker games, the ongoing VAR feud between Peter Walton and Robbie Savage, and a 'Fame or Shame' look at the incredible career of Samuel Eto'o.
Bonus point if you can spot the moment that Noah knocks over one of the podcast mics!
