About this episode

The episode discusses Manchester City's recent performances and their implications for the title race and upcoming FA Cup final.

After back-to-back 3-0 victories, Manchester City have (at the very least) made sure the title race goes down to the final week of the season. David Mooney is joined by City fan Dan Burke and, from Sporting News, Dom Farrell to reflect on the performances and the results against both Brentford and Crystal Palace. There was impressive displays from Phil Foden this week, so we look at whether he could grab a place in the starting XI for the FA Cup final against Chelsea on Saturday... and with such a big game in mind, how does Pep Guardiola balance that and going away to Bournemouth the following Tuesday? Sam Rosbottom is on the show to talk through some weird, quirky and strange facts and figures about City in FA Cup finals, while the journalist and Bournemouth fan Robert Santonna returns to give his thoughts on the Cherries' push for a European spot. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
