On today’s pod: Arsenal run riot in the north London derby, with Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyökeres scoring twice in a comprehensive win over a Spurs side in disarray. With injuries mounting and confidence draining, the panel asks: are Tottenham Hotspur the worst team in the Premier League?

Elsewhere, Manchester City keep the pressure on with a 2-1 win over Newcastle as Nico O’Reilly shines. Is he on the plane? Liverpool snatched a dramatic late victory at Nottingham Forest in a game packed with VAR controversy and handball debate. Burnley grabbed a last-gasp point at Chelsea, Palace left it late again for Oliver Glasner, and Tammy Abraham rescues Aston Villa. There’s also a big result for Brighton, and the panel reminisce over James Milner’s breakthrough at Leeds as he breaks the all-time Premier League appearance record.

Plus: racist abuse directed at multiple players prompts strong responses from Kick It Out and Meta, more twists in the Scottish title race as Hearts open up a lead, a hilarious own goal in the A-League Men’s New Zealand derby, and much more on today’s Guardian Football Weekly.
