Set-Piece Again | Chaos at the Bridge | Excellent Ekitike

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Riath Al-Samarrai and Martin Samuel to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We open with Arsenal’s 4–0 win at Elland Road, stretching their lead at the top to seven points as Arteta’s side punished Leeds united with ruthless set-piece execution. We then head to a chaotic night at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea were booed off at half-time with West Ham two goals to the good. Liam Rosenior’s side mounted an impressive second-half comeback to win 3–2, but Riath asks: do you applaud a man for cleaning up his own mess? Next, we’re joined by Adam Collins to unpack the news that England cricketer Harry Brook lied about his altercation with a bouncer in a Wellington nightclub last year, now admitting he claimed to be alone in order to protect teammates. Finally, we break down Liverpool’s 4–1 Anfield win over Newcastle, as Florian Wirtz impressed and Hugo Ekitike haunted his long-term admirers with a ruthless first-half double.

Littler Dominates | Ashes Reaction | Chelsea Close in on Rosenior

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jonathan Liew, Charlie Eccleshare and Charlie Wyett to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Luke Littler’s emphatic victory over Gian van Veen at Alexandra Palace, securing back-to-back World Darts Championship titles. Are we still underestimating just how good Littler is — and could he one day surpass Phil Taylor’s record of 14 world titles? Attention then turns to the Premier League, as Arsenal edge Bournemouth 3–2. A dominant Declan Rice performance, including a brace, helped extend their lead at the top to six points in a fixture that saw them stumble last season following William Saliba’s red card. Have Arsenal learned the lessons from last year’s title run-in? Next, we turn our attention to the Ashes as England close Day One of the fifth Test. We cross live to Sydney to speak with Adam Collins, who highlights the key partnership between Harry Brook and Joe Root. The discussion also covers Usman Khawaja’s retirement, with the Australian speaking about continuing to challenge racial stereotypes within the game. We then discuss Aston Villa’s impressive form, which has kept them within six points of Arsenal. While Charlie isn’t convinced they’re in the title race, he’s impressed by their performances following the modest work done in the summer. Finally, we’re joined by Gary Cotterill, who reports on Strasbourg’s 1-1 draw at Nice, before bringing the latest as Chelsea close in on Liam Rosenior. Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Australia Crush England | Spurs See Reds | Pressure Mounting for Arsenal

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Martin Samuel, Dominic King and Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We start with The Ashes, as Australia defeat England in the third Test in Adelaide to seal the series. Martin labels it a “crushing disappointment” for England, while Julien points out this wasn’t even Australia at full strength. Adam Collins joins the show to praise a dominant Australian performance and predicts a 5–0 whitewash. We then move to Liverpool’s dramatic 2–1 win over nine-man Spurs. Dominic questions Isak’s underwhelming spell after another injury, while Julien points to lingering defensive problems. Next, we ask where Spurs are heading, as Julien argues it’s hard to see what Thomas Frank is trying to do. Also, Manchester United’s chaos continues after a 4–4 draw with Bournemouth, prompting debate over whether Amorim has got it wrong on Kobbie Mainoo and his role in the team. Finally, we turn to the title race: is the pressure mounting on Arsenal? Top of the league but unconvincing, and with Gyökeres’ form in doubt, we ask who should lead the line when fully fit? And after a 3–0 win over West Ham, Man City look dominant in the title chase. Dom says, in a head-to-head, you’d pick Guardiola over Arteta every time. Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Salah Farewell? | Arsenal Late Win | Maresca Drama

Will Perry is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Sam Dean and Jack Pitt-Brooke to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Mo Salah, asking whether his twenty-minute appearance against Brighton marked a Liverpool farewell before his departure for AFCON. Next, we turn to Arsenal’s late home win over Wolves, with Jack asking whether their recent habit of conceding late goals reveals a vulnerability we didn’t see earlier in the season. We then move to the Ashes, with Adam Collins joining us to discuss how England’s performances have been perceived in Australia. Adam considers the tough conditions in the Adelaide heat for the third Test, and we ask whether England will make changes to the team. Finally, we look at Enzo Maresca’s dramatic comments after the win over Everton, describing it as his worst 48 hours since joining Chelsea. Jack felt the remarks came out of the blue and were notably vague, and while they didn’t appear to be aimed at the fans, we ask whether they reflected a deeper discontent with the club itself.

Foden to the Rescue | Slot’s Struggles | Is it Arsenal’s time?

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Miguel Delaney and Carl Anka to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Man City’s win over Leeds. Pep’s side left it late with a last-minute Foden winner, but are they truly convincing? Carl finds their style this season fun to watch, yet a bit too chaotic to win the title. Next, we turn to Spurs’ defeat to Fulham — their third loss of the week — and the boos told the story, as fans watched a side that has won only once at home all season. We then look at Liverpool, who have lost nine of their last twelve, and ask how realistic it is that the club makes a change with Arne Slot? Next, we move to The Ashes. With the second Test starting on Thursday, we speak to Adam Collins about how the Australian press views England’s inconsistency — and what they must do to avoid falling 2–0 behind. Finally, we turn to the Premier League title race with Chelsea vs Arsenal. Miguel is impressed by how suffocating and controlling Arsenal have been in the second halves of games. But while Chelsea aren’t as polished as Arteta’s side, can they genuinely challenge for the title? Carl believes it’s Arsenal’s time. Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Crisis-Hit Liverpool | Ashes Latest | Are Chelsea Contenders?

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Mark Ogden, Jason Burt and debutant Charlie Eccleshare to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with crisis-hit Liverpool. Their defeat to Forest at Anfield marked a sixth loss in seven matches, but is it too harsh for Mark to suggest that Arne Slot’s side is on track to become the worst defending champions in Premier League history? Attention then shifts to the Ashes, where we’re joined by Martin Samuel, reporting on an extraordinary opening two days in Perth. Following a chaotic and crushing defeat for England in the first Test — driven by a blistering century from Travis Head — Martin raises serious questions about England’s preparation and their batting order. We then turn to Manchester City, who suffered a 2–1 defeat at Newcastle, undone by a Harvey Barnes double. With a fourth league loss already this season, is Pep Guardiola’s side showing signs of vulnerability? And to what extent has Rodri’s absence contributed to their struggles? Next, we turn to F1 news, and the Las Vegas Grand Prix, where both McLaren cars were disqualified, costing Lando Norris his second-place finish and the 18 points that came with it. With only two events remaining, how will this reshape the picture? We then turn to Chelsea, who moved into second place with a 2–0 win at Burnley’s Turf Moor. Mark is surprised to see them so high in the table — but is he right to argue that they still don’t look like genuine title contenders? Finally, Adam Collins returns — in good spirits — to analyse England’s predictability in the Ashes first Test and their total collapse in the second innings. Will the challenge only intensify in ten days’ time as we head to Brisbane for a pink-ball Test? Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Tuchel’s Test | Fantastic Ford | Ashes Preview

Rob Jones is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Martin Samuel and Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin by looking at England’s unbeaten World Cup qualification. But is Jacqui right to think that, while praise is due, Tuchel’s real test will be winning the tournament itself? Attention then turns to Scotland. After their 3–2 loss to Greece, everything now comes down to Tuesday night at Hampden, where they host Denmark and hope to top the group with a win. We move on to Wales, who beat Liechtenstein to draw level on points with second-placed North Macedonia and now look to reach the play-offs by beating them on Tuesday. Next, we turn to England’s impressive win against the All Blacks. Martin highlights George Ford’s two drop goals in a 33–19 performance that indicates Steve Borthwick’s approach is bearing fruit. We’re then joined by Adam Collins to preview the Ashes. With just five days to go, Australia are without both Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, and Adam believes the key will be how quickly England hit the ground running. And finally, we’re joined by Rob Dorsett, who discusses all things England with John Cross and Jason Burt in Tirana ahead of Albania v England. Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Late Show at Stadium of Light | Chaotic Finale at Spurs | Ashes Preview

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jonathan Northcroft, Craig Hope and Jonathan Liew to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with league leaders Arsenal, who were held to an entertaining 2–2 draw at the Stadium of Light after a dramatic last-minute equaliser from Brian Brobbey. Was this a chink in the armour for Arteta’s side? Jonathan believes Arsenal earned a valuable point given their injury problems in attack. Attention then turns to Chelsea’s commanding win over Wolves at Stamford Bridge. Booed off at half-time but second in the table at full-time, Jonathan admits he’s still not sure what to make of Chelsea this season — and with only two points this season, are Wolves already staring down the barrel of Championship football next year? We move on to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Manchester United salvaged a late equaliser in a frantic 2–2 draw. Is Craig harsh to suggest it felt like a game where both teams lost? Next up, with just twelve days until The Ashes, we’re joined by cricket broadcaster Adam Collins to preview the series. While much of the focus is on the prolific form of Australia’s Steve Smith, we ask whether England are well placed to take the first Test. And Jonathan Liew finds himself compared to a certain England cricketer… And finally, a huge Super Sunday fixture between Manchester City and Liverpool may be key to Premier League title hopes.
