Welcome back to the Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.
Jamie Carragher is joined by Paul Scholes and some of the biggest fan channels across England to dive into all the biggest talking points in football.
We kick things off with the fallout from the Manchester Derby, where Manchester United pulled off a smash-and-grab against a crisis-hit Manchester City. With City looking out of sorts, how does Pep Guardiola turn things around?
From there, we ask the key question: what’s on every club’s Christmas wish list?
Do Liverpool need to strengthen at left-back? Can Chelsea keep up the pressure?
Nottingham Forest are flying high under Nuno Espírito Santo, but can they maintain their momentum? And is Vítor Pereira really the right man to lead Wolves forward?
We also hear from HLTCO, who gives us the lowdown on Crystal Palace and what they need to get their season back on track.
