About this episode

Former Spurs and Forest midfielder Andy Reid joins Rick Edwards and Luke Edwards to analyse a season-defining weekend of Premier League action.

Manchester City wrestled control of the title race with a 2-1 home win over leaders Arsenal and relegation candidates Leeds and Nottingham Forest both won while Spurs conceded in the 95th minute to draw.

Manchester United, Liverpool and Aston Villa all went closer to securing a Champions League spot – will that be enough for Michael Carrick and Arne Slot to keep their jobs?

And on the subject of uncertain futures for managers… Do Newcastle need to make a decision on Eddie Howe right now?
