Summary

Vicky Gomersall is joined by Sky Sports News reporter Gary Cotterill and The Sunday Times Chief Football Writer Jonathan Northcroft to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin by looking at the Premier League title race, with Liverpool in touching distance to secure the title. How important will Virgil Van Dijk’s new contract be? Gary believes Van Dijk is the greatest centre back since Vincent Kompany, but do Liverpool need to spend big in summer?

Next, Daniel Khan sits down with Ruud Van Nistlerooy to talk about Leicester’s difficult position, the standards being set and plans for the future.

Elsewhere, we discuss the race for the Champions League spots, looking at Aston Villa’s 4-1 win at home over Newcastle and Olly Watkin’s post-match interview, claiming he was “fuming” to be left on the bench against PSG. Gary and Jonathan both think Forest are the team to miss out on the Champions League for next season.

Also, Joe Thomlinson interviews Jurrien Timber about the win over Real Madrid and a personal battle won against Vinicius Jr, and the elite level defence Arsenal have created this season.

We then discuss Tottenham, after they’ve reached the Europa League semi-finals. Gary thinks Ange is a man who looks like he’s feeling the pressure and believes a lot of Tottenham fans think he’ll be gone win or lose in the semi-finals.

We end with two more interviews; Jamie Carragher sits down with Arne Slot to talk about Salah and Van Dijk’s contract renewals, Trent being back on the pitch, and the title coming to a close. And James Cole chats with Mikel Arteta about defeating Madrid, and carrying form in to the league.

1:11.1	first game against Dipswich. I wrote then that, you know, this guy has it, you know, he looks
1:16.8	like he's got it, but at that point you were thinking of a season where they might be able to challenge,
1:22.1	they might be able to reach this kind of points total, but you imagine Man City would be there,
