Summary
A big weekend in the Premier League and a big week to come in the Champions League. Natalie Sawyer and Gab Marcotti are joined by Alyson Rudd and Oli Kay to discuss it all.
Arsenal’s top 4 hopes are over after drawing at home to Brighton. How big a rebuild do Unai Emery and the Arsenal hierarchy have on their hands?
The Gunners do have the second chance of a potential Europa League final on their hands. But Manchester United definitely won’t be in the Champions League next season after drawing at Huddersfield. Who needs to be held accountable? Solskjaer or the players?
We look ahead to the Champions League semi-finals. Do Liverpool have any chance of overturning a 3-0 deficit against Barcelona, especially without Salah and Firmino? And can Tottenham grab their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reach the final or will they implode as they did at Bournemouth on Saturday?
Plus George Elek from the Not The Top 20 podcast joins us to discuss the impending play-offs in the Championship. It’s Bielsa versus Lampard but can Grealish lead Villa to the promised land of the Premier League?
