The magic number for Liverpool and Leicester, plus VAR – Football Weekly


Join the conversation on Facebook, Twitter and email.

We start off with Liverpool’s comeback win over Spurs as Jürgen Klopp’s side make it nine wins from the opening 10. Speaking of nine, we look back at Leicester’s record-breaking win at Southampton before discussing the incident-fuelled draw between Arsenal and Crystal Palace at the Emirates.

In part two, we round up the rest of the Premier League. Sadly, VAR was at the heart of much of the discussion after controversial calls benefited Brighton and Manchester City against Everton and Aston Villa, respectively. Fitba corner then focuses on the off-field scenes that surrounded Celtic’s Europa League win over Lazio.

Finally in part three, we speak to Sid Lowe in Spain about Granada’s ascent to the top of La Liga, get an Italy round-up from Nicky Bandini and look at MLS as Zlatan Ibrahimovic took centre-stage following LA Galaxy’s play-off defeat to neighbours Los Angeles FC.

Back on Thursday!
