Arsenal Back On Top; Pep's Fixture Rant ...

Talksport
About this episode
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has praised his side's hunger and desire after they moved back to the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 win away at Wolves, but stressed they are now only focusing on beating Chelsea in their next game. The Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola launches an passionate rant about their FA Cup semi-final being played on Saturday instead of Sunday, labelling the decision 'unacceptable', whilst the former Chelsea defender Scott Minto believed their lack of cutting edge summed up their season in the 1-0 defeat at Wembley. Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has questioned the lack of leadership in his team and admitted their season has now gone after being thrashed 4-1 at home to Burnley to leave them 10 points off safety with 5 games to go. And Coventry owner Doug King previews their FA Cup Semi-Final against Man United, which is live on talkSPORT.
