Team Confidence

Back-to-back wins for Manchester City appears to have brought the confidence back ahead of a tricky tie with Arsenal. David Mooney is joined by City fan Chris Higginbottom and, from The City Ramble podcast, Amos Murphy, as we reflect on wins over Manchester United and Napoli. After Phil Foden's performance across the two games, we focus on his return to form - plus we take a look at some other times that players have kissed the City badge in celebration. Erling Haaland is in the spotlight, too, with a selection of fine finishes this week... it seems like he's feeling inevitable in front of goal again? Then, with Arsenal next up, we speak to Gunners fan Michael Keshani about their start to the season. And Matt Shaw from the podcast And He Takes That Chance joins us to explain how Huddersfield have been getting on recently, ahead of City's trip there in the League Cup. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Host Ian Irving is joined by The Athletic's Jay Harris and Tony Evans following Liverpool's 3-1 defeat to Brentford on Monday evening... The panel reflect on Liverpool's complicated season so far, whether Van Dijk is suffering from a World Cup hangover, how Cody Gakpo can help ease the burden on Darwin Nunez, as well as, why Klopp will need to find some more of that 'Monopoly money' to spend in the January transfer window & the secrets behind Brentford's record against the 'Big 6'. Plus, how uncertainty over the club's future off-the-pitch is affecting the team's confidence and if Klopp is starting to resemble Arsene Wenger towards the end of his time in charge of Arsenal?
