Solskjaer passes Spurs test as Chelsea charge forward in title race - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

Connie McLaughlin is joined by former Tottenham defender Stephen Kelly and EFL and EA presenter Nubaid Haroon to react to a dramatic day of Premier League football.

Manchester United bounced back from their 5-0 thrashing at home to Liverpool last week with a 3-0 win at Spurs, their first win in five Premier League matches. We hear from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on what that result means for United after a week of intense speculation around his job.

Does that result paper over the cracks of last weekend's humiliation? And what does the future hold for Nuno Espirito Santo at Tottenham after suffering his fifth league defeat this season?

Chelsea have gone three points clear at the top of the table after they beat Newcastle, whilst Crystal Palace shocked Manchester City with a 2-0 win at the Etihad and Liverpool were held at home to Brighton.

The guys discuss how Chelsea are finding ways to win without Romelu Lukaku as City continue to struggle without a striker.

We hear Jurgen Klopp's thoughts on Liverpool's poor body language and performance in the second half and discuss the team's issues in midfield.

Aaron Paul watched Aleksandar Mitrovic score a hat-trick as Fulham beat West Brom 3-0 to go four points clear of their opponents in second place in the Championship. We hear from Marco Silva on how Mitrovic just needs some love and motivation from his manager to find his peak form and Aaron rounds up all the other headlines from the EFL.

And the draw for the League Cup quarter-finals has been made so Nubaid and Stephen pick their ties to look out for.
