Robbie Mustoe and Robbie Earle recap the key storylines from match round nine of the 2022-23 Premier League season

Essential Football is back with a round-up of all the weekend's Premier League matches, featuring pundit reaction, interviews and reporter analysis from up and down the top-flight. PART ONE | There’s only one place to start and that’s Manchester City’s 6-3 Manchester derby win over rivals Manchester United. We hear from Kevin De Bruyne, Pep Guardiol and Erik ten Hag before Gary Neville and Roy Keane have their say on events at the Etihad Stadium. Peter Smith, Nick Wright and Ben Ground, who covered the game for Sky Sports’ digital platforms, dissect the game, from City’s hat-trick heroes in Erling Haaland and Phil Foden to another slow United start and Cristiano Ronaldo’s non-selection. PART TWO | Arsenal have the north London bragging rights after a 3-1 victory over rivals Spurs. Are Mikel Arteta’s side in the title race? Sam Blitz and Nick Wright have their say. We then round up the rest of Saturday’s action as Liverpool are held again this time by Brighton, Connor Gallagher returns to break Crystal Palace hearts and hand Graham Potter a first win a Chelsea boss, and there are wins fro Newcastle, Everton and West Ham. And that's your Premier League weekend wrap!

Marcus, Luke, Pete and Andy revel in more Nations League nonsense, as Kevin de Bruyne remains bored out of his mind and John McGinn’s memory foam mattress grabs a great win for Scotland. We also toast the departures of Charlie Adam and the FIFA game (Ted Lasso’s idiotic appearance not withstanding) and we wonder how Gareth Southgate can turn the barge around - starting with tonight's clash against Italy.

This past summer, I was running around Gdańsk, Poland desperately looking for a bar showing the Women’s Euro Cup match between Sweden and Portugal, all while thinking, in the words of the Talking Heads, “Well, how did I get here?” I used to be a traditional American sports fan. I would watch an ungodly amount…

It’s a huge weekend in Serie A! Dotun, Andy and Nicky Bandini chew over Roma's trip to Juventus and wonder just why Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martínez fit so perfectly together ahead of Inter's inevitably feisty clash with Lazio. Elsewhere, there’s an extraordinary capitulation in Dortmund thanks to last-minute goals from unlikely British sources.

Vicky and Darren are joined this week by The Times' Henry Winter to run through Saturday's Premier League talking points. Only one place to start, Manchester United being thrashed at Brentford and are the Glazers, the backroom staff or the players to blame? Laurie Whitwell from The Athletic joins to give his expert take on the situation and what happens next if the club don't bring in more players in the next fortnight. Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel sits down with Vicky to give an honest assessment as to why Romelu Lukaku didn't work out at Chelsea and what Raheem Sterling will bring this season. The Mail's Sami Mokbel also shares this thoughts on why Chelsea may be keen on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. We also dive into Arsenal's impressive start, Manchester City's ruthlessness and whether Dean Henderson could force his way into England reckoning. Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Suj & James kick off Correspondent Week Friday with Leicester City correspondent Aaron Lagor and there's only one place to start, where's the signings? But with no European distractions and key players like Wesley Fofana fit again Leicester could kick on but doubts remain about the futures of the likes of Youri Tielemans. For FPL managers there are plenty of interesting options; the 4.5 full-backs appeal, midfielders James Maddison (8.0), Harvey Barnes (7.0) and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (5.0) should all be considered and Jamie Vardy always starts a season well. Plus, Kasper Schmeichel could be leaving, is Brendan Rodgers under pressure and the importance of The Foxes opening two home games and the brilliant run from Gameweek 9...

It's time to discuss The Champions on Correspondent Week as Manchester City fan Jonny Pringle joins Suj & James to discuss City and their FPL assets ahead of Gameweek 1. The case against Erling Haaland is a difficult one to build and with Joao Cancelo likely to be popular many FPL managers will be trying to decide on their third City player, but could it be better to not decide at all...? Likely opening day line-up discussed, lack of full-back depth, how City will supplement Haaland with and without the ball, why that could make Kevin De Bruyne as exciting as he has ever been to both watch and own for FPL managers, it's now year 2 for Jack Grealish, but can he nail down a place ahead of Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez. Plus, why youth will continue to get a chance in the City squad, Jonny's thoughts on how Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling will perform now they have left the club and the Pod begins with hearing how Jonny (tried) to keep his emotions together during the dramatic GW38 win against Aston Villa...
