The Guardian's Women's Football Weekly Series

How to listen to podcasts: everything you need to know

On today’s pod, the panel reflects on an action-packed weekend, with Everton maintaining a compact defence to take a point from Arsenal. How problematic is this for their title challenge? In ‘the game of the weekend’, Brighton impressed with a 4-2 win over Aston Villa, with Nikita Parris scoring her first goal for Brighton. They also evaluate Liverpool defeating Spurs thanks to a contentious penalty, and a Marie Höbinger masterclass. Is it too early to call her a Liverpool legend?

The panel also celebrate Jordan Nobbs – or should we say Jordan Modric? – as she makes history, proving that experience is as vital as ever.

Plus, the panel rounds up the Championship, looks ahead to the Champions League, takes your questions and invites you to their Fantasy League this season on FantasyWSL.net. Code GUARDIANWFW.
