Will Slot’s cup gamble pay off against Villa? Will Spurs v Chelsea be crazy again?

Jimbo's got Charlie Eccleshare, Jay Harris and Tom Williams alongside him in the Totally studio for Carabao Cup and Premier League MD10 fun and games.

We begin with the midweek League Cup action - headlined by Liverpool losing to Crystal Palace for the third time this season, Djed Spence struggling with his boots - and Liam Delap getting Chelsea's customary red card!

Then it's all eyes on the feast of weekend action that awaits - including Manchester City v Bournemouth, Liverpool v Aston Villa and Tottenham v Chelsea. Will Arne Slot be vindicated in his decision to leave all the big boys out all together in the defeat by the Eagles in midweek? Will it be goal machines Haaland or Semenyo who take the headlines at the Etihad? And can events in North London live up to the recent bonkers meetings between the two enemies as Spurs host the Blues?!

All that plus shocks on the map, Celtic's shoutouts to their exes - and questions about Xmas-es origin story...

Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva.
