About this episode

Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Tom Clarke, Alyson Rudd, Gregor Robertson & Charlotte Duncker


Was Everton's win the most bizarre result this season? A team that played more like champions elect as opposed to relegation threatened.


Is Brighton's season tailing off and now in danger of missing out on European football next season?


Following Nottingham Forest's thrilling win over Southampton does that put them in pole position to stay up this season?


Are Leicester "too good to go down"? A 5-3 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage leaves the foxes in the bottom 3 and in real danger of losing their Premier League status.


Arsenal playing Newcastle at their own game. A frustrated Eddie Howe complained about the time wasting from Arsenal although the stats show that it is Newcastle who have been the worst culprits of the dark arts this season.


And finally what is going wrong at Manchester United with just 4 wins from the previous 10 games.
