Jimbo has Duncan Alexander, Natalie Gedra and Mark Carey for company in the studio ahead of a bumper Premier League weekend.

The Champions League midweek concludes with comfortable wins for Liverpool and Newcastle, plus a dominant but stressful victory for Chelsea. Five of the top eight teams are English heading into next week’s league phase finale. Why are Premier League clubs seemingly finding life in Europe easier?

How easy will life for leaders Arsenal be when Michael Carrick’s resurgent Man United head to the Emirates? And who should Mikel Arteta play up front?

Elsewhere, depleted Villa head to St James’s Park, it’s Glasner Rosenior at Selhurst Park and will Dr Tottenham turn up at Turf Moor?

Plus the loveliest managers, managers that cause injuries, punch-ups and pasta without sauce.

Jimbo is joined by Jack Lang, Seb Stafford-Bloor and JJ Bull for a midweek Totally Extra to discuss Tuesday night's Champions League games.

Norweigan broadaster Martin Sleipnes drops in to talk about a historic night for Bodø/Glimt who beat Man City 3-1 in the Arctic circle. It could have been more for Glimt who peppered City's goal against a tired-looking defence, as Rodri got sent off for 2 yellows.

Arsenal meanwhile continue their perfect Champions League form as they brushed aside Serie A leaders Inter 3-1 at San Siro and Spurs finally gave their home fans something to cheer about as they beat 10-man Dortmund 2-0.

Tom Williams joins to discuss PSG's last minute loss to Sporting, plus a roundup of the rest of Tuesday nights games and Brighton v Bournemouth on Monday.

Jimbo’s got European football friends Pol Ballús, James Horncastle, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Tom Williams alongside him as the Champions League re-enters the room…

We start with those midweek UCL MD7 ties - including the tight battle for a top eight finish with the likes of Tottenham v Dortmund, Marseille v Liverpool and Juventus v Benfica looking finely poised.

In Serie A, there were tributes to Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso - who passed away on Saturday but left a huge legacy in not only Florence but across the Italian sporting landscape. La Viola honoured him by beating Bologna 2-1 on Sunday to move out of the bottom three.

Over in La Liga, the gap’s been cut to just one point! That’s after Barcelona’s 11-game winning streak was ended by a 2-1 defeat at Real Sociedad. Real Madrid took advantage, beating Levante 2-0 amid a backdrop of boos, whistles and protests in the Spanish capital…

Meanwhile in the Bundesliga, Bayern became the first team in Europe’s top 5 leagues to score 100 goals in all competitions this season as they came from behind to beat Leipzig 5-1 thanks to a second half masterclass from Michael Olise. Plus, what next for Frankfurt after Dino Topmoller was sacked after their latest 3-3 draw?

And over in France - Lens are *still* top of the table thanks to a club-record eight straight Ligue 1 wins. PSG stay a point behind after their 3-0 win over Lille - which featured one of the goals of the season from Ousmane Dembele.

All that plus pinchos, personalised apps - and poor ratings!
