Another Derby Weekend, Title Race Hotting Up, and Regrettable Scenes in Portugal

This week on The Final Third, we start with Europe: not just the results, but the feeling of them. One midweek can tilt a season, or at least the stories we tell about it.

Back in the Premier League, we audit our top-ten predictions and confront the familiar gap between what looked likely or sensible in August and what the table now insists is real. From there, it’s into the weekend’s fixtures: City at home against a Newcastle side arriving with confidence and a puncher’s chance; Forest trying to turn their ground into a problem for Liverpool; and the North London derby, where Spurs’ dreadfulness meets Arsenal’s need to rewrite the narrative about their mental fragility.
