Summary
Mark Chapman is joined by Peter Schmeichel, Shay Given, Rachel Corsie, Michael Brown and Chris Coles on a mad goal-happy night of Premier League action.
Darren Fletcher’s first game as interim boss at Manchester United ends in a 2-2 draw at Burnley, but Schmeichel says looking to past players is the right thing to do for the club, now and going forward.
There’s huge drama at St James’ Park, where Newcastle scored the latest-ever winning goal in Premier League history.
Manchester City are held by Brighton, giving Arsenal a chance to go eight points clear on Thursday night. Should City be looking at signing Marc Guehi in this window?
Pep Guardiola’s side have already entered the market, looking set to bring in Antoine Semenyo from AFC Bournemouth. He finished his Cherries career in the most stunning fashion, scoring a late winner to put Andoni Iraola’s team on the right side of a five-goal thriller.
You’ll hear from Iraola, as well as Brentford boss Keith Andrews, whose Bees team have climbed to fifth in the table after an excellent festive run.
