About this episode
The episode discusses Chelsea's managerial change, Manchester City's rise in the Premier League, and predictions for upcoming matches.
Matt Davies-Adams is in the chair alongside Duncan Alexander, Benji Lanyado and Jay Harris as Chelsea say goodbye to another manager and Manchester City go top. Liam Rosenior is OUT at Chelsea after overseeing their worst run of form since 1912. Calum McFarlane takes interim charge for the rest of the campaign. Can he oversee a win against Leeds in the FA Cup this Sunday? Much better news for Manchester City, who have moved top of the Premier League for the first time since the opening weekend. A 1-0 win at Burnley relegates the Clarets and sends Pep Guardiola’s men above Arsenal on goals scored. Will they still be there at the end of May? They take on Southampton in the other semi-final this weekend. Plus, the team look ahead to the rest of the weekend’s action. Can the Gunners move back ahead of City with a win against Newcastle? Will relegated Wolves drag Spurs down with them? And with Leicester marking the ten-year anniversary of winning the Premier League by being relegated to League One, we ask what other unthinkable things might be happening in the world of football in a decade’s time. Produced by Charlie Jones and Xavi Bird  …
