Alexi Lalas and David Mosse start in the UEFA Champions League, where Ricardo Pepi made instant impact — scoring and assisting off the bench as PSV dismantled Napoli 6–2. Would you start him over Folarin Balogun? Bayer Leverkusen suffered a 7–2 defeat against PSG without Malik Tillman, and Arsenal cruised 4–0 past Atlético Madrid in a tough outing without Johnny Cardoso. On Wednesday, Weston McKennie battled hard but couldn’t stop Real Madrid’s dominance ahead of the first El Clásico of the season. And finally, Tim Weah & top of the table Marseille fell to Sporting Lisbon. Back stateside, the 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs kick off with a loaded best-of-three first round.

Vicky Gomersall is joined by the The Mirror's Darren Lewis and Chief Football Writer of The Independent Miguel Delaney. We start by looking at Ruben Amorim’s appointment at Manchester United. Comparisons with Erik Ten Hag, Amorim’s charismatic media presence and the great work done at Sporting Lisbon. Next to the Premier League title race; after back-to-back losses in all competitions, have Manchester City’s injury list caught up with them? Are Arsenal now too far behind after their defeat away at Newcastle? And after beating Brighton to move to top of the league, Miguel thinks Liverpool are looking almost complete but considers a possible drop-off later in the season. Elsewhere, we consider the scrutiny on Julen Lopetegui as West Ham lose to Nottingham Forest. And Juliette Ferrington sits down with Ruud van Nistelrooy, who makes his desire to stay at Manchester United clear. Also, is Cole Palmer the best player in the Premier League at the moment? Darren talks of Palmer’s impressive vision and ball-striking ability but would still choose Erling Haaland over Palmer. Finally, Natalie Gedra interviews Enzo Maresca, who talks of honesty with his players and learning player management from Marcello Lippi and Carlo Ancelotti.

Following Monday's announcement of the parting of the ways between Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag, James welcomes Manchester United fan Gary Robinson to discuss the The Dutchman's tenure and what lies ahead for The Red Devils. There's coverage of where it will went wrong for Ten Hag and whether he will be remembered well having won trophies in his two full seasons and what can be expected next for United, with it looking highly likely that Sporting Lisbon's Ruben Amorim will take the job. What can be expected tactically from the Portuguese manager. And there's question asked of the playing squad, who many will feel have underperformed for a manager again; a target of winning the Premier League in 2028, and what the current changes mean in the immediate for Fantasy Football Managers.

Jimbo’s joined by his continental crew - Pol Ballús, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Seb Stafford-Bloor - to look back on a seismic week of European action - and all the fallout from Monday night’s Ballon d’Or ceremony which has left Real Madrid rather unhappy… We dive into the big news coming out of Old Trafford - that Manchester United are working on a deal to appoint Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim as their new head coach. Portuguese journalist David Novo brings us the latest. There was pandemonium at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday night as La Liga leaders Barcelona thrashed their fierce rivals in El Clasico to move six points clear at the top of the table. It was also a week to forget for Atléti, beaten 1-0 at Betis which means they’re 10 points off the pace despite their record summer spending. There was also chaos in Serie A, with the Derby d'Italia finishing 4-4 between Juventus and Inter. Napoli took advantage to extend their lead at the top to 4 points after their narrow 1-0 win over Lecce. Bayern Munich responded to their midweek mauling by Barcelona by dishing out a 5-0 defeat to Bochum, while Dortmund were condemned to their third straight away Bundesliga defeat at the hands of Augsburg AND Leverkusen got Leverkusened - conceding a 90th minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw with Werder Bremen. And in Ligue 1, PSG are now the only unbeaten side in the division as they comfortably disposed of Marseille 3-0, while Monaco and Lens both tasted defeat for the first time this season.
