| 0:07.0 | I am Akin Willera. |
| 0:09.0 | It's advantage to Arsenal in the title race after Manchester City slip up at Everton. |
| 0:14.9 | The gunners are now five points clear with three left to play. |
| 0:19.4 | So have City thrown it all away. |
| 0:23.8 | All right, in with us for this one. We've got our Manchester City correspondent, Sam Lee. |
| 0:28.4 | And we've given a more break from talking about everything Spurs. We've got Jay Harris and Jack Pitbrook in at the studio as well. |
| 0:35.1 | So an absolute thriller at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. There were |

| 1:29.1 | I basically just disagree with the idea that you can call a title race any, you know, any time |
| 1:33.1 | before it's actually done. And City have kept slipping up this season. That's been a big feature of |
| 1:39.5 | their season. But so of Arsenal. So you can have both sides of the fence. It is possible the city still win it. |
| 1:45.9 | But I'm absolutely not showing away from the fact that they messed up massively on Monday night. |
