Summary
Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Charlie Eccleshare and Jay Harris after a hugely dramatic Premier League weekend with twists and turns at both ends of the table.
Liverpool dominate chaotic Man United at Old Trafford but once again cannot beat the Red Devils. Is it wastefulness that will cost Jurgen Klopp’s side the title? And can there be any case for Erik ten Hag staying at Old Trafford next season?
Arsenal go top on goal difference after an impressive 3-0 win at Brighton, with Havertz reaping rewards again. But what happens if they go behind? And will their exploits against Bayern affect them?
Man City also ease past Palace with Kevin De Bruyne showing he’s not done while Jack Grealish might be coming back to prominence.
At the other end, there are big wins for Everton and Luton, plus Brentford bag a point in one of the games at weekend at Villa. Where will Thomas Frank be next season?
Plus the yellow card race and which goal scorer this weekend might be the most important player to their club in the Premier League?
Produced by Charlie Jones.
