Summary
Another day, another managerial sacking in the Premier League. Jimbo is on hand with Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare, Liam Tharme and more.
After a goalless draw with Wolves, Nottingham Forest dismiss Sean Dyche in the early hours of Thursday morning. As they look for their 4th coach of the campaign, Daniel Storey tries to piece together the remains of their season.
Man City and Villa keep up the pressure on leaders Arsenal while Liverpool become the first visiting team to win at the Stadium of Light in 2025/26.
But game of the night goes to Palace Burnley where the Clarets stage a remarkable comeback to secure their first victory since October. Reuben Pinder ruminates on what next for Glasner and the Eagles.
Plus it’s FA Cup 4th round weekend. Will it be a calamity for Wigan at Arsenal, an upset in the first ever meeting between Burton and West Ham or history repeating at Macclesfield?
Produced by Charlie Jones
