Liverpool cruise into Champions League knockout stages

Liverpool top their Champions League group and Manchester City are close to qualification

Mark Chapman is joined by the former Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin and commentator Alistair Bruce-Ball as Liverpool have qualified for the Champions League knockout stages with two games to spare after a 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid.

They analyse why Liverpool have been so impressive in all four of their group matches so far and the importance of Fabinho and Diogo Jota to Jurgen Klopp鈥檚 side.

Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha and commentator Conor McNamara reflect on a comfortable 4-1 win for Manchester City over Club Brugge and discuss how this could be a boost for Man City heading into this weekend鈥檚 Manchester derby.

After Unai Emery rejected a move to Newcastle and announced he is staying at Villareal, Spanish football journalist Ernest Macia from Radio Catalunya and The Athletic鈥檚 senior writer George Caulkin join the pod to tell us why Emery has decided to stay and if Eddie Howe is now favourite for the Newcastle job.

And as Tottenham鈥檚 managing director of football Fabio Paratici has spoken for the first time since appointing Antonio Conte as Spurs manager, Italian football journalist Mina Rzouki gives us an insight into the pair鈥檚 special relationship.
