Review: Is Dias signing of the year? | Why are Man Utd so shy in big games? | Liverpool, Spurs' contrasting week | Finally, Newcastle praise
There’s no such thing as January blues at Manchester City as Pep Guardiola's side win nine out of nine, helped by the wall that is Ruben Dias. Has his impact been bigger than Virgil van Dijk's at Liverpool?

Is their title tilt over before it began? And what is success for Arsenal this season? In part three we focus on Newcastle after their shock 2-0 win at Everton (33:39), masterminded by Graeme, sorry, Steve, erm... well, we figure out exactly who deserves the credit. And in part four we look back on a good week for Liverpool and a bad week for Jose Mourinho’s Spurs (43:51), plus the performers, performances and goals of the week.Watch us live, Monday to Friday, 10am until Midday on Sky Sports News or listen to the podcast as soon as we come off air.

Review: What if Man Utd actually clicked? Arteta's stats debunked, Leicester/Everton praise and overhyped Leeds?
Manchester United are in contention having barely performed this season - how good could they be if they actually clicked?

£1bn spent since Fergie: Man Utd's transfers assessed - the hits, the flops, the managers, the hierarchy
In the 2020 summer transfer window, Manchester United surpassed £1bn spent on players since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. The honours they have to show for it? An FA Cup, a League Cup, and a Europa League. So why hasn’t money spent translated into success?
