Sunderland's Arsenal stunner, Manchester City smash Liverpool: Men in Blazers 11/10/2025

Rog is back to answer your questions and forecast the weekend’s Premier League action in this week’s Big Weekend Preview. First stop, Manchester, where City welcome Liverpool. Erling Haaland is chasing the 100-goal milestone while Liverpool arrive steadier with Andy Robertson back and Conor Bradley flying after midweek heroics. Arsenal’s clean sheet machine visit Sunderland with a chance to equal a top-flight defensive record unless Granit Xhaka ruins the party. And Spurs vs Manchester United is a fixture living on the thin line between freefall, crisis, and “they’re back.” Rog closes with Crystal Palace vs Brighton "derby" and which players he thinks could be player coaches.

On the latest episode of Running the Game, Rog sits down with Crystal Palace co-owner and chairman Steve Parish to trace the path from the 2010 rescue to FA Cup winners.
