Stage set for Hazard as Liverpool face title race demons - a podcast by The Times

Natalie Sawyer and Gab Marcotti are joined by Oli Kay and special guest, Belgian football journalist Kristof Terreur.

Liverpool host Chelsea and the ghosts of their last title race with Manchester City and the damage that Blues did to them 5 years ago. How different is this Liverpool team? How much damage will Eden Hazard do to the Reds and will he be at Stamford Bridge next season?

It was a bad week in the Champions League for the Manchester clubs? Despite the phenomenal efforts of Scott McTominay, United lose to Barcelona. Did Solskjaer get it wrong? And did United get it wrong in appointing him?

And as we predicted on Monday, Pep Guardiola overthought things and tinkered in the defeat at Spurs. Time to ask why and to have that VAR debate again.

Charlie Scott and Paddy von Behr provide their advice ahead of the fantasy football weekend. For free Fantasy Premier League tips from The Sweeper, visit thetimes.co.uk/fantasyfootball
