Have Premier League academies sold their soul?

This week has been dominated by huge teenage Premier League debuts with Rio Ngumoha’s winner for Liverpool and Max Dowman appearing for Arsenal at just 15. 

Dowman’s former coach at the Arsenal academy, Temisan Williams, joins us in the studio alongside The Telegraph’s Chief Football Writer, Sam Wallace.

What made Dowman stand out? How much does it cost clubs to produce academy players? And after reports Man United could sell homegrown Kobbie Mainoo, leaving no Mancunians in the squad, is the trend of cashing in on homegrown talent stripping clubs of their identity?

Comedian and Grimsby fan Lloyd Griffith rubs Mark's nose in it after the fourth tier side knocked Man United out of the Carabao Cup.

Plus, Gabby and Mark react to Keegan Bradley not selecting himself for the Ryder Cup, and Celtic and Rangers' Champions League exits.
