Football Weekly Extra: Manchester City underline title intent with Spurs rout

On today's Football Weekly Extra, James Richardson is joined by the unholy trinity of Barry Glendenning, Amy Lawrence and Rafa Honigstein to look back on an spectacular midweek round of Premier League action.

We start at White Hart Lane, where Manchester City underlined their title intent with a terrifying 5-1 defeat of Spurs. With Arsenal drawing at Southampton and Chelsea failing to get round Sam Allardyce's 19th century footballing masterplan, City are back on top. Next up at the Etihad are Chelsea, which should be interesting.

Next, we look at the race for fourth place. Liverpool remain in pole position after smashing Everton 4-0 in the Merseyside derby, but perhaps Manchester United can now make a fight of it, especially now that Robin van Persie is back.

Finally, we talk transfers - yes you, Julian Draxler - and look forward to the weekend's Tyne-Wear derby and Inter's clash with Juventus.
