THE TIMES
About this episode

It’s a three-horse title race, the first in years, so who did the result at the weekend benefit the most?

Tom Allnutt, Alyson Rudd and Gregor Robertson join Tom Clarke to predict who will win the league. Was a point at Anfield good for City, was Liverpool’s momentum stalled and will Arsenal handle the pressure of going top?

Who has the tougher run in and who is each team’s most important player?

Spurs love playing the top teams, but Villa seemed to lack belief. Either way, does the race for fourth even matter, if you qualify for the champions league and your team’s not ready?

Plus, a rattle through the weekends other results.
