The Athletic's Adam Leventhal is joined by Adam Crafton and Oli Kay to reflect on a massive weekend in the Premier League that saw Liverpool and Man City both walk away in good spirits after their pulsating 2-2 draw at the Etihad, The Athletic's Man City writer Sam Lee and our Liverpool writer James Pearce give us the take from both sides of the title race.
We're also joined by The Athletic's Tottenham correspondent Charlie Eccleshare to look at the quest for Champions League football as Spurs have moved into pole position in the space of a week following their win at Aston Villa and Arsenal's slump at home to Brighton, and that's before we even mention Manchester United's defeat at Everton - which we do!
Finally we turn our attention to the relegation battle and speak to The Athletic's Burnley writer Andy Jones who gives us the mood from Turf Moor after the Clarets' week of highs and lows as they followed up that massive win over Everton with a dismal defeat to Norwich at Carrow Road.

There's discussion of the scale of the task facing ten Hag, his suitability for the role, how much say in incomings and outgoings he will likely have, and how he will fit into the existing footballing hierarchy at Old Trafford.
