Summary
Jimbo, Michael Cox, Duncan Alexander and Jay Harris cast their collective eye over a very big week of football.
Tottenham inflict a rare defeat on Arne Slot’s Liverpool as they take a 1-0 lead to Anfield in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals in a month’s time. Can they reach the final and did Ange have a point about VAR?
Newcastle get a dream 2-0 win at the Emirates in their first leg. Have Arsenal gone backwards this season and do the Magpies have any weaknesses right now?
Big week at West Ham as The Athletic’s Roshane Thomas tells us. Julen Lopetegui is replaced as head coach by Graham Potter, someone with a point to prove after his 7 month spell at Chelsea.
And it’s FA Cup 3rd round weekend. Arsenal v Man United is the standout tie. Or is it non-league Tamworth against Spurs? How many ties is Ashley Young linked to? Those questions answered and more.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
