Enzo Maresca confirms Estevao will return for Chelsea against Aston Villa on Saturday, whilst also declaring his ‘love' for Cole Palmer when asked if he would swap the forward for Villa's Morgan Rogers. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:12 Worst 48 hours? I've spoken about this. Nothing to add. No meetings. I've spoken about this before Newcastle. 1:02 Very good Christmas party. Lovely to spend time with friends and family. 1:18 Estevao is back. Liam Delap is also available. 1:49 Christmas? Players had two days after Newcastle. We are off tomorrow, training Friday and then game on Saturday. 2:06 Pep weighing players? That's his choice. All managers think in different ways. It's not about trusting the players. 2:48 In the stands for the Villa game? I'm suspended. In almost 100 games, I've been suspended three times. The coaching staff is there. 3:31 Villa's amazing run? They are doing fantastically. Brilliant job Unai, 10 wins in a row. 4:00 Swap Morgan Rogers for Cole Palmer? No. I love Cole. 4:39 Semenyo? I'm focused on Aston Villa. 5:10 Wide player?

We are in four competitions, in good positions. We are in a very good place. 6:42 Wish list? Continue to grow and improve. Also less injuries. 7:08 Palmer ready for 90 minutes? Yes, I think he's ready. 7:36 Chelsea and Villa in title race? It's December. We are competing but we have to wait until February and March. 8:17 Palmer and Rogers are fantastic players. They will be important in the game but the other players need to step up too. 8:52 Estevao how good can he be? He's already one of the best young players in the world. He needs to continue to improve. 9:32 James now the captain that I wanted. He's growing in terms of leadership. He's fit and being the leader we need. 10:10 James is one of the main players in our squad. He's the captain. When fit he's one of the best players we have. 10:45 Christmas Day? My mum is here. When she's here no one is allowed in the kitchen. Family time. It's a nice time for everyone. We will have fish for dinner. @HaytersTV – Football Up Close.

Vamos a hablar de “LA BELLA Y LA BESTIA”. Incluimos esta película dentro del espacio de +CINExFAVOR porque hoy, casi 35 años desde su estreno, reconocemos que se convirtió en un clásico instantáneo, por todo lo que innovó el cine de animación. Hablaremos tanto de la película de animación de 1991, como del musical teatral de 1994 y de la película de “acción real” de 2017. Por supuesto repasaremos la trayectoria de Alan Menken y Howard Ashman que revolucionaron el mundo de la todopoderosa Disney, que encontró en el género del musical, un filón que abriría la puerta a títulos como “ALADIN”, “EL REY LEÓN” o “FROZEN”. Para hablar de todo ello hoy contamos con Javier Jiménez de Sevilla, Miguel Casares de Santander y Paco Dolz de Valencia, además de con el imprescindible mago en la sombra, Unai Aizpurua, que está editando el programa en vivo con imágenes y videos de lo que vamos hablando. Gracias como siempre Unai por estar ahí.

From his gravity-defying masterclass against PSG to his ice-cool distribution under pressure, Unai Simón is officially tearing up the modern goalkeeping playbook. In this episode, we break down how the Athletic Bilbao icon returned from wrist surgery to post eye-popping numbers in the 2025/26 campaign, preventing over seven "certain" goals in just 11 matches. Join us as we explore the "hockey assists," the 6'3″ frame of a human brick wall, and why this one-club man is the undisputed heartbeat of Spain's national team. Unai Simón, Athletic Bilbao, La Liga, Spain National Team, goalkeeper analysis.

Entrevista Unai Larreategi, alcalde de Soraluze, sobre los Presupuestos 2026

The Bilbao DJ marks 15 years of Cartulis with two hours of punchy house, recorded live at FOLD. When you think of London label and party Cartulis, you dark, muscular electro and tough tech house spring to mind. But the name is more revealing than it first appears: in founder Unai Trotti's native Bilbao dialect, cartulis translates to "nerd." Like any labour of love, the project is driven by a deep, obsessive dedication, centred around sound, mood and community. Recorded at Cartulis' 15th anniversary party this autumn, RA.1017 captures why Trotti is such a compelling DJ. Playing only vinyl, he has a deft ability to balance functional club pressure with more leftfield selections, and as he outlines in his Q&A below, it comes from a belief in creative limitation, committing to a finite set of records and trusting instinct over abundance. Across the two hours, there are plenty of big, physical tracks built for the dance floor, but also some genuinely strange, confrontational stretches. Around the 15-minute mark, church bells ring out as a gothic female vocal looms overhead—David Lynch, if he needed an electro soundtrack. It's the kind of material you only hear at parties where dancers feel truly at ease, unafraid of the weird. That's Cartulis. @unaitrotti @cartulisday Read more at ra.co/podcast/1036

All the boys are on for this one… and it was a horrible afternoon. We got into:

Tabs is joined by Kuziva to reflect on Arsenal's 2–0 win over Brentford at the Emirates. Merino's early header capped a flowing 10 man, 14‑pass move, while Saka's stoppage‑time strike sealed the points and collective relief. The duo share highlights and lowlights, from Ben White's overlapping assist to Raya's crucial save, and discuss how Brentford's brave approach kept nerves jangling despite limited threat. They analyse Martinelli's quieter night, squad rotation decisions, and the growing case for Merino as Arsenal's leading centre‑forward. The episode closes with a look ahead to the weekend trip to Villa Park and a reunion with Unai Emery, and his over performing Aston Villa side.

Unai López, tras el debut del Rayo en Conference: "Volver a Europa es una felicidad para todos"

Este martes está previsto que el Gobierno apruebe en el Consejo de Ministros la tramitación urgente del nuevo registro horario impulsado por el Ministerio de Trabajo, que quiere sacarlo adelante a través de un real decreto para que no sea necesario que pase por las Cortes para su aprobación. En Las Mañanas de RNE hemos querido hablar sobre ello con el secretario general de CC. OO., Unai Sordo."Es un tema que no hemos negociado lo suficiente", ha comenzado apuntando el dirigente de Comisiones Obreras. Además, ha detallado que en España cada semana "se hacen alrededor de dos millones y medio de horas extra que ni están pagadas ni cotizadas", lo que relaciona con los sistemas de control horario de las empresas, que "no están adaptados a los tiempos". Sordo ha explicado que "la mejora puede ayudar a la reducción efectiva del tiempo de trabajo, al menos del no pagado y no reconocido".El secretario general del sindicato ha asegurado que, para que el nuevo registro horario no derive en una vigilancia abusiva, lo que permitirá es "facilitar mucho un trabajo más efectivo de la inspección", que debe "dotarse con más recursos y con más cualificación". Si el proyecto de ley de reducción de la jornada laboral no saliera adelante, Unai Sordo ha aclarado que, desde Comisiones Obreras, lo que harán será "abrir el foco", porque ha recalcado que no solo es importante la reducción del tiempo de trabajo, sino también la de los contratos a tiempo parcial, los despidos… y es por ello por lo que plantearán "un proyecto laboral amplio para lo que quede de legislatura". No obstante, ha avanzado que, si el Consejo de Ministros tumba la propuesta, "exigiremos un nuevo proyecto de ley e iremos a un proceso, sin duda, de movilización".Escuchar audio

El pleno extraordinario en el Congreso sobre la corrupción ha comenzado con la intervención del presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, quien ha trasladado su pésame a la vicepresidenta segunda, Yolanda Díaz, por el reciente fallecimiento de su padre, el histórico sindicalista de Comisiones Obreras, Suso Díaz. En el 24 Horas de RNE hablamos sobre la figura de este gallego con el secretario general de Comisiones Obreras, Unai Sordo.Sobre Suso Díaz, Sordo ha destacado lo siguiente de su trayectoria: "Una persona muy afable, con mucho conocimiento, una gran persona, un sindicalista y un gran luchador por las libertades".Respecto a lo ocurrido esta mañana en la sesión del Congreso, el líder de CC.OO ha insistido en que hay que "limpiar cualquier foco de corrupción y, sobre todo, pelear por la mejora de las condiciones de vida de las mayorías sociales, no de aquellas en las que circulen las circunstancias más difíciles, como Suso nos enseñó a pelear. Y no, no tenemos derecho las nuevas generaciones a flaquear."Escuchar audio

Hello Rank Squad!With the conclusion at the weekend of the domestic campaigns still running, we thought it was a good time to look back on the season just gone and hand out some awards for the best (and worst) of what we've seen across the board. We start by talking about our favourite stories of this season, where we both plump for underdogs turning their seasons around, before we head into the main event. Across the Premier League and the rest of continental football, Dean and Jack work through Players, Managers and Clubs of the Season; before finishing off with the Letdowns of this campaign, and the Best Signings for good measure. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

Bournemouth registered their HIGHEST amount of possession at a home Premier League game this season on Saturday, having the ball 69% of the time. Unai Emery's game-plan meant that his side didn't need much of the ball, and with Iraola's men consistently coming up against a disciplined and well-oiled unit, Aston Villa out-Bournemouthed Bournemouth. It felt like a very un-Villa like performance, but it would have been everything their Basque boss wanted - resolute at the back, not giving our wingers anything, and when you've got someone like Ollie Watkins on hand to sniff out a goal, they then had something to hold on to. From that point, it was always an uphill battle! Sam Davis, Ben Phillips and Neil Dawson discuss the game! Thanks to ComAve for Ben's opportunity.

Hello Rank Squad!It's time for this week's first Champions League Takeaway - looking back at Tuesday's Quarter Final second legs, where both PSG and Barcelona emerged with qualification intact, but with their reputations bruised and having been handed on-the-night losses by Aston Villa and Borussia Dortmund, who were both excellent. In the absence of Dean, who is flying back to San Diego, Jack is joined by football podcast royalty in Mike Zimmermann - to talk through both of the games and discuss the ramifications in more detail. We start with Aston Villa's impressive 3-2 win over PSG, where the Parisien favourites were given an almighty scare in the second half by Unai Emery's charges, who managed to break free of PSG's impressive counter-attacking hold after the break, going hell for leather and finding themselves some Gigi Donnarumma magic away from taking Luis Enrique's men to extra time. Then in Part Two, we head to the Westfalenstadion, where Dortmund had very little to lose, but managed to expose the Barcelona high line enough to give the Yellow Wall plenty to shout about. Serhou Guirassy's hat-trick had Barça very worried for a time, and although the Catalans progressed, they were subjected to defeat in a single game for the first time in 2025.  It's Ranks!

Hello Rank Squad!It's time for this week's second Champions League Takeaway - looking back at Wednesday's Quarter Final first legs, where PSG roared back from 1-0 down to beat Aston Villa 3-1 and Barcelona romped to yet another astounding win, routinely dismantling a discombobulated Dortmund 4-0. We start with PSG and wonder if anybody could have held up against the power of their attacking might last night - looking at the emergence of Desire Doué as a bona-fide starter and wonderkid, as well as the devastating directness of Kvicha Kvaratskhelia - before going a bit deeper into a discussion of how Luis Enrique has moulded this club to one in his own image - where the team comes first, but individual brilliance is actively encouraged as well. Then in Part Two it's time to head to Catalunya, to take a deep dive into how Barcelona pretty much killed this tie stone dead in the first leg, breaking a host of records in the process. All three of the front line of Raphinha (controversially), Lamine Yamal, and Robert Lewandowski were on the scoresheet - with Lewy making it 29 goals in 28 games against Dortmund since leaving them in 2014.

Hello Rank Squad! Dean's back in London, so it's less of a Transatlantic Job this week, but that doesn't mean there's not still plenty to discuss. Today, we're looking at the Champions League Quarter Finalists, but in a slightly different way - examining who the most important player is for each of the eight teams remaining in the competition, from the perspectives of how they've played so far, as well as who is most likely to step up going forward. We take the eight teams in turn ahead of their QF matchups, thinking about star performers across the course of the competition, but also about which player their opposition would remove from these games if they were given a choice to do so - giving us some interesting names and discussions around how we rank players in systems. We finish by trying to pick a top three each, but we found that was a harder task than either of us envisaged to begin with! It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

Hello Rank Squad! It's the second of two Champions League Takeaway episodes on the feed this week, with four more games to dissect - headlined by another 120 minutes of madness, this time from Madrid, where Real needed penalties to get the better of Atleti in a game the hosts will feel aggrieved not to have won (we've heard that one before...)We break down the chaos of the penalty shootout, including Julian Alvarez's disallowed spot kick for a double-touch, examining the rules and what exactly happened; before looking back at the game as a whole and examining some of the individual performances that caught our eye, for good and for bad.Then in Part Two, we take a look at a heavily rotated Arsenal's 2-2 draw with PSV - it didn't matter, progression was all but guaranteed; Aston Villa's 3-0 win over Club Brugge where Marco Asensio in particular shone once again - what a signing he has been for Unai Emery's men; and a vastly improved display from Borussia Dortmund as they came from a goal behind to beat Lille in France and progress to another quarter final. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?
