Football Weekly reviews midweek cup and European football, with Tottenham and Newcastle recording encouraging Carabao Cup wins before meeting each other on Saturday. The programme also examines pressure on Manchester United and Aston Villa, while Celtic’s Champions League qualifying exit after a dramatic collapse in Austria is presented as a particularly damaging result.

Sávio scored on his Tottenham debut and appeared settled quickly, while Newcastle introduced Nico González as part of a midfield rebuild. The panel discusses United’s forthcoming match against Ipswich and Villa’s home fixture against Arsenal, alongside Celtic having been 4–0 ahead on aggregate at one stage before losing their qualifying tie; it also covers Ange Postecoglou, Cristiano Ronaldo’s influence and listener questions.
