Liverpool-Spurs in the Carabao Cup is the fixture list doing its job—stick two proper teams in a cup and something interesting might actually happen.  •  Bayern's 5-1 demolition of Stuttgart is what happens when you sign a winger who can actually finish and remember how to play football.  •  Tonali's £100m price tag won't mean anything until he proves he can impose himself in the Premier League instead of disappearing when the pressure builds.  •  City strolling past Palace 4-1 tells you everything you need to know about where this league's power actually sits right now.  •  Real Sociedad versus Espanyol is the kind of La Liga fixture that exists mainly to fill the fixture computer and very little else.
