Laurie Whitwell of The Athletic joins Vicky Gomersall and The Mirror’s Darren Lewis to reflect on the biggest talking points from the weekend’s sporting action.   We start with Manchester United’s goalless draw at Crystal Palace and the decision to start Marcus Rashford on the bench. Manager Erik ten Hag insisted it’s “just rotation”, but what do our panel think?  They also discuss André Onana’s incredible double save to deny Palace a certain goal.  Elsewhere, Darwin Nunez’s brilliant strike helped Liverpool move to the top of the table with a win against Bournemouth, but are they genuine title contenders?  Plus, we hear an extended interview with Pep Guardiola – the Manchester City boss discusses the intensity of the football calendar, ahead of their match against Arsenal.
