Summary
Natalie Sawyer is joined by Alan Smith, Gary Jacob and Paul Hirst after a seismic Easter weekend.
Manchester United are embarrassed and humiliated, losing 4-0 to Everton at Goodison Park. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wasn’t sure if all of his players care enough. We discuss who he might be talking about and look ahead to the Manchester derby on Wednesday. Will United respond, damaging City’s title hopes, helping Liverpool in the process?
The race for the top 4 seems to be a race nobody wants to win, as Arsenal and Tottenham also lose. The panel try to decide who will qualify for the Champions League and who needs it the most?
Elsewhere, where will Wilfried Zaha be next season? And will Brighton have enough to survive?
