About this episode
Another big weekend of Premier League action sees Sam Allardyce return to the Premier League as his Leeds side face the small task of Manchester City at the Etihad, who are looking to strengthen their grip on the Premier League title. Allardyce's return has sparked a lot of conversation on whether he can keep Leeds up, with Neil Warnock and Stuart Pearce having their say. Elsewhere, Chelsea Manager Frank Lampard spoke on the sorry situation at the club as his side face Bournemouth, with Gary O' Neil refusing to believe his side are favourites against the Blues. Also, Spencer Oliver discusses Joshua Buatsi's fight against Pawel Stepien.
