City keep losing; Chelsea keep winning. ...

THE TIMES
About this episode

If Pep Guardiola is the greatest manager of the modern era, its time for him to prove his worth.

Manchester City are a “crumbling dynasty” losing again in a derby where they looked nervous throughout. While a Chelsea team with four ex City players in it and a manager honed under Guardiola are now two off the top and “having a lot of fun, playing with palpable joy.”

Rubin Amorim has again showed who is in charge by dropping Marcus Rashford from the squad and has his tram playing in his patterns.

Elsewhere, time to give Nottingham Forest due credit; managerial sackings and great saves.

Paul hirst, Tom Allnutt, Alyson Rudd and James Gheerbrant join Tom Clarke to analyse a very busy weekend.
