Philippe Clement is in at Norwich, so the panel discuss the direction of the club and whether that appointment is a coup or a gamble, plus how hopeful the Canaries can now be this season.

In League One, with just six points separating the top 12, who is best placed to break free of the pack at the top of the table? And who makes the EFL Ultimate XI, or is it time for a rival team?

Finally, with over 100 National League fixtures kicking off three minutes late over the international break, will the 3UP initiative lead to an extra promotion spot to the football league?

Scotland qualify for 2026 World Cup

Scotland and Wales could secure World Cup spots with victory on Tuesday night - will they, and what would it mean?

Former Scottish international James McFadden joins Jonathan Northcroft, Chief Football Writer at the Sunday Times, and Eilidh Barbour to ponder what's required for Steve Clarke to lead the Tartan Army to a first World Cup for 28 years.

Scotland's task is simple: defeat Denmark at Hampden Park. Toke Theilade joins the show to give the Danish perspective, with an illness in the camp contributing to a shock draw with Belarus.

As for Wales, things are less straight-forward. Two points separating the top three sides in Group J and so all of qualification, play-offs and elimination are possible. Rob Earnshaw, who earned 59 caps in his career, helps preview their home fixture against North Macedonia.

We also hear from the player of the international break, Troy Parrott, whose 96th-minute winner over Hungary not only completed his hat-trick but secured his nation a World Cup play-off spot. Former Ireland midfielder Andy Reid explains what that drama meant to the country and the panel discuss the positive state of football in Britain and Ireland with all five nations in with a chance of World Cup spots.

Will Scotland and Wales qualify, and is British and Irish football in its best-ever place?

England wrapped up a perfect World Cup qualifying campaign with a 2-0 win against Albania. Victory in Tirana made it 8 wins from 8, with 22 goals scored and none conceded. Alistair Bruce-Ball is joined by former England defenders Stephen Warnock and Conor Coady for reaction to that match and to assess the key questions that lie ahead for Thomas Tuchel.

We hear from the England head coach, captain Harry Kane, and Dean Henderson.

There’s also reaction to an incredible comeback from the Republic of Ireland, they booked themselves a play-off spot for the World Cup with a 3-2 win in Hungary. The Irish Independent’s Dan McDonnell joins us to discuss Troy Parrott’s hattrick and the emotional scenes at the fulltime whistle.

England end perfect qualifying campaign as Republic of Ireland make the play-offs

Kelly Cates is joined by Nedum Onuoha, Rory Smith and comedian Kae Kurd to discuss the changes they would make if they were designing football from scratch.

How would they tweak the rules? What punishments would they introduce? How long should a game last? How many players per team? How many points for a win? Would they keep VAR?

Reinventing Football - what to do with handball, penalties and VAR?

John Murray, Ali Bruce-Ball & Conor McNamara talk football, travel & language after Cristiano Ronaldo sees red as Republic of Ireland beat Portugal, and England beat Serbia.
