Summary
There is only one way to celebrate St Patrick’s Day here at Upfront, and that’s getting Chloe Morgan to try and say a load of things in Irish with very mixed results.
Chloe and Rachel tackle the League Cup final, which saw Sonia Bompastor pick up her fourth trophy! But why were Man United so flat? We discuss what’s behind their lack of belief. Plus, Liverpool get a huge win at the bottom to push Leicester City deeper into trouble. Do we think they would lose against the 3rd-best team in WSL2 in the play-off? And Aston Villa take points off Man City thanks to the Brian Effect.
