A rollercoaster week for Leeds, City lawyer up, Liverpool search for a spark in the Derby and Arsenal host Brentford

James is joined by Duncan Alexander, Jay Harris and Tom Williams in the Athletic studios, plus Amitai Winehouse drops in to talk Leeds and Caoimhe O'Neill of the Walk On podcast talks Liverpool.

Leeds search for a manager goes on as they put on an impressive display for their caretaker management team at Old Trafford.

Man City re-appoint Lord Pannick QC to fight their off field battles, whilst Emery's Villa face them on the field.

Arsenal have a tricky tie against in-form Brentford with one eye on their big title clash ahead on Wednesday.

Caoimhe O'Neill tries to put her finger on what's gone wrong at Anfield this season and whether their season can be revived in the Derby with Real Madrid awaiting in the Champions League.

And with the first million pound signing made on this day in 1979, Duncan explains what some things would cost in 2023 if inflation had risen at the same rate as Premier League footballers.
