Summary

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Adrian Clarke into the studio ahead of the conclusion of this lengthy Premier League campaign. Only one of Everton, Leicester and Leeds will survive the drop to the Championship. The Toffees are in the driving seat but will Gary O’Neil’s Bournemouth be fired up and ready to spoil the party? And was Dean Smith’s ultra-defensive game plan for Leicester at Newcastle on Monday a masterstroke? Who will replace the outgoing Premier League teams - Coventry or Luton? Nancy Froston joins us to preview the weekend’s play-off finals, featuring comeback kings Sheffield Wednesday. Brighton seal Europa League qualification with an impressive display against Man City. Hear why Roberto De Zerbi is the real deal. No Slot for Spurs it would seem. Are they about to resurrect the summer of 2021, off the back of Harry Kane’s consolation season? And who will be the last semi-finalist in the Inter Totally Cup - Tom or Matt Davies-Adams? Produced by Charlie Jones. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: The season’s ending?
