Summary

It’s April Fool’s Day! Which means Clo obviously had to play a (not so) little joke on Rach…

Once Rach has finally recovered, we dive into Aston Villa’s massive comeback against Liverpool. Does this win mean Villa are safe from relegation? And is a fifth-place finish for Liverpool this season still achievable?

Elsewhere, West Ham nicking a point against Chelsea - at Kingsmeadow - wasn’t on our bingo cards, but we are HERE for it! Clo and Rach give West Ham’s Shekiera Martinez her very well-earned flowers.

Plus, we size up the Lionesses’ game against Belgium this Friday!
