It’s Monday Night Football with Chris McHardy and his co-host, Premier League title-winner Danny Simpson.

There’s only one place to start: the absolutely disgrace that is VAR. It’s the boil on football’s rump that needs to be lanced sharpish. Are there any redeeming features of the technology?

Don’t worry, we do actually talk about the Manchester derby, which, dare we say, was bang average?

But five wins in five for Enzo Maresca is decent. Pep who?

Arsenal are in imperious form too. Are we in for another two-horse race in the EPL?

There’s also a little look at the dark arts of wasting time.

All this and much more on The Score.
