On this episode of The Matchbook, Seth Dowdle breaks down the football itself — including the red card that completely changed the match, Jeremy Doku’s brilliant performance and Erling Haaland continuing to score at a ridiculous rate — before getting into the much stranger question hanging over Manchester City right now: What are these results actually worth while the club waits on its appeal and potential punishment?
Then, Arsenal finds another way to survive after falling behind against Leeds, while Manchester United and Tottenham produce another reminder that the traditional “Big Six” label doesn’t always guarantee particularly good football. There’s also a look at the surprising early success of the newly promoted sides and what their starts might tell us about this Premier League season.
Finally, the Champions League returns for Matchweek 2. Seth previews the biggest games across Tuesday and Wednesday, including Atletico Madrid-Manchester United, Arsenal-Lille, Villarreal-Napoli, Inter-Club Brugge, Manchester City-PSG, Roma-Real Madrid and LASK-Liverpool.
