David Mooney is joined by City fans Adam Monk and Dan Burke to look ahead to the return of the Premier League and City's game against Liverpool. Will Erling Haaland be fit? What will Guardiola do in the absence of Phil Foden? Which of the defenders will the game suit? Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap gives us the Liverpool perspective on the weekend's fixture, plus Sam Roscoe takes a look at the famous faces that have been seen at the Etihad, in the light of Usain Bolt heading to the women's team win over Chelsea.

A Different Kind of Blessed
City go into the international break with a storming 6-0 FA Cup win over Burnley. David Mooney is joined by City fans Rachel Herdson and Richard Burns to reflect on that game -- and on Erling Haaland's ridiculousness. They look at the form of the other attacking players, Julian Alvarez, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden. Plus there's a focus on the defence, as Nathan Ake and Ruben Dias impress. It's also nearly 20 years since City moved to Eastlands, so Dan Burke, Dom Farrell and Adam Carter reflect on the different eras that club has gone through during those last two decades.

The Scally Walk
David Mooney is joined by City fans Joe Butterfield and Ciaran Murray to review the extraordinary week for Erling Haaland. Six goals for the Norwegian, across wins against Crystal Palace and RB Leipzig, and plenty more records broken. Are you obsessed with praying that Arsenal will drop points in this title race, too? We look at the implications of a close run-in and what you can do to avoid driving yourself mad when watching City's rivals play. There's Burnley on the horizon in the FA Cup, so we hear from Burnley fan and podcaster Kevin Robinson. He explains why things are going so right for Vincent Kompany's team and what's got them into such a commanding position in the Championship. And then there's Guardiola's press conference from midweek, too... Plenty to dissect from that in this week's episode.
