About this episode

The episode discusses the recent FA Cup final and the ongoing Premier League relegation battle, featuring insights from various guests.

Is a Man City-Chelsea FA Cup final boring? Should the attitude of Chelsea’s players be questioned as they won at Wembley after Liam Rosenior’s mid-week sacking? Interim boss Callum McFarlane answers that question as former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison and the Telegraph’s Northern football writer Luke Edwards join Rick Edwards to analyse and debate the key talking points from the weekend. Does this prepare Southampton well for the Championship play-offs and did Leeds show enough?

Plus, Arsenal get back to winning ways, and Alexander Isak scores for Liverpool, but were they lucky to beat Crystal Palace? Timecodes: 01:56 How can Chelsea play so differently within a single week?
