Were Man Utd better? Are City still in the title race?

Tom White and Darragh MacAnthony assess Manchester United’s 2–2 draw with Burnley, where Darren Fletcher coached the side and implemented a tactical tweak. United fan James joins the discussion, admitting he saw limited improvement but welcomed the change in formation.

The focus then shifts to Manchester City, who dropped points for a third consecutive game after a 1–1 draw with Brighton. City fan Aston joins us to debate whether Pep Guardiola’s side are still firmly in the Premier League title race.

Next up, Tottenham’s struggles continue as Thomas Frank’s side fall to Bournemouth after a late Antoine Semenyo winner. Spurs fan Chris joins us as we ask — who’s to blame for Spurs’ ongoing issues?

And finally, Brentford cruise past Sunderland 3–0 with two more goals from Igor Thiago to move up to fifth in the Premier League. Brentford fan Simon joins us to argue why Keith Andrews deserves manager of the season.

Watch us live, Monday to Friday, 10am until Midday on Sky Sports News or listen to the podcast as soon as we come off air.
