About this episode
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola admits he's 'surprised' that his side continue to compete for multiple trophies year on year after going back to the top of the Premier League with a 4-0 win at Fulham, whilst Martin Keown has praised the Man City boss for the work he's done, and believes there's plenty more to come from him. Ahead of Arsenal's trip to Man United later, Arsenal invincible Martin Keown recalls that incident with Ruud van Nistelrooy at Old Trafford in 2003. An emotional Luton Town boss Rob Edwards reflects on their 3-1 defeat to West Ham which all-but confirms their relegation back to the Championship, whilst Burnley boss Vincent Kompany says their work to get back to the top flight starts tomorrow after they were relegated with defeat at Spurs. Double Ashes winner Steve Harmison reacts to the news that Jimmy Anderson will retire from Test Cricket after England's first Test against the West Indies in July.
