The bookies have Leeds as favourites. Honestly, we can't argue.

They're seventh, they've lost once all season, and they're physical, high-energy and fast out of the blocks. Every single thing that's been our Achilles heel, they're good at. We're 13th and winless in five. And we didn't beat them once last season.

📉 Where we both are, and why the bookies are backing Leeds

😬 Last season against them: beaten at Old Trafford, held at Elland Road

❓ Does Martinez even play after what he said about the board?

⚡ Ones to watch: Calvert-Lewin, James Justin and Aaronson

👕 Our predicted XIs

🔮 Our predictions. One of us is backing a win. The other isn't

⚽ The rest of the weekend: Brentford v Liverpool, City v Ipswich, Everton v Chelsea, Forest v Arsenal

Behind after 47 seconds. Down to ten men. Beaten 2-0 in Madrid. And then Lisandro Martinez walked into a post-match interview and said he expects more from the technical director.

Was he right to say it? Or has he just made everything harder for Carrick?

🔮 Our predictions, marked. One of us got the result right and isn't happy about it

👕 The team Carrick picked, Heaven at left back, and why we change our back four more than anyone

⚽ 47 seconds: how that goal went in, and who should have done better

🟥 Yoro's red card. Disgrace, or deserved?

✅❌ Positives and negatives, because there were some

💥 Martinez goes public, and what it means for Carrick, the board and the dressing room

🔴 BANISHED is back

Thirteenth in the Premier League. Fourth in the Champions League. Same squad, completely different picture.

Now we go to Madrid, to a Simeone side who've won four in a row, with half a team and no confidence. One of us is still predicting a win. The other one has written down a defeat and isn't happy about it.

🏟️ Why the Metropolitano is the last place you want to go right now

🚨 Team news: Šeško out, Cunha back at his old club, and that back line

📊 We rate this Atlético side out of 10

⚡ One to watch: the man Simeone calls his best player, with nought in three

👕 Our predicted XIs, and we don't agree

🔮 Scorelines and scorers

💥 Challenge Chaz: five players who've played for United AND Atlético

Manchester City have reportedly been found guilty on 114 of the 115 Premier League charges. We didn't have a podcast planned this week. Then our noisy neighbours forced our hand.

We asked our City mates to come on and give their side. Every single one of them said no. Funny, that.

This isn't the lawyers' take or the journalists' take. This is two United fans saying what every rival fan in the country is actually thinking.

😤 What the 114 charges actually are, in four minutes

🤐 Why 35 of them are just for refusing to cooperate for four years

⚖️ Everton got 10 points for ONE breach. What does 114 deserve?

🏆 2012, 2014, 2018. Do we want those titles handed over in a boardroom?

💰 £200m in compensation, or the title back? Pick one

😳 Is any punishment actually enough after eight years of delay?

Important: this is reported, not officially confirmed. The Premier League will not comment on a confidential process, the written ruling has not been published, and City are expected to appeal. Everything we say here is our opinion as fans.

CITY FANS: the offer stands. Come on the pod and tell us why we're wrong. Until then, get in the comments.

And everyone else. Forest, Everton, Burnley, Norwich, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs. How much has this cost your club? Make your case below.

Five games, one win and the worst Premier League start in 12 years. Spen and Chaz review the 1-1 draw at Fulham, then go into the international break grading everyone responsible for this mess: the players, Carrick and his staff, and the people above them.

🍅 Fulham 1-1 United: a Martínez own goal, a deflected Cunha rescue act in the 89th minute, and a performance Gary Neville called one of the worst he'd ever seen

🏃 Is it fitness? Why this team looks slower and less hungry than the one that finished last season

⏱️ Why wait 70 minutes? The subs, the missing Šeško, and why Shea Lacey stayed on the bench

🎙️ Carrick's press conference: positive signs, or not reading the room?

📉 Graded: our marks for the start, the players, the coaching staff and the hierarchy

❓ Is Carrick the man to take us forward?

2-0 up inside ten minutes. Out of the cup by full time. Spen and Chaz react live to one of the most embarrassing nights at Old Trafford in years.

This was our first ever live stream, recorded straight after the final whistle with the damage still fresh.

😤 A 50-year first — United had won 143 of the previous 145 games in which they led 2-0 at Old Trafford. Tonight they lost one.

⚽ Shea Lacey with a stunning goal on his first senior start, Mason Mount adding a second inside ten minutes

💀 Kostoulas, Gross and De Cuyper turn it around as United fall apart

🧤 Karl Darlow handed a debut in goal

🔴 Bruno thrown on as an emergency sub, Rashford missing a one-on-one to level it

😠 Boos ringing round Old Trafford at full time

❓ Second season running out at the first hurdle. What now for Carrick?

Let us know what you think: is this the lowest point of the Carrick era so far?

United lose the derby to ten men, and there's a lot to unpack. Spen and Chaz break down the Manchester derby defeat, the Foden red card, that Haaland goal, plus a look back at the Champions League return and previews of Brighton and Fulham.

🏆 Sabah review — the Champions League return at Old Trafford, four good goals, and squad players getting minutes

⚪ Brighton preview — Carabao Cup third round, team news, and our score predictions
