About this episode

Whisper it: Leicester City are on the verge of another title. If they play as well as they did last night in their next 31 games, it’s theirs for the taking!


Marcus, Andy and Jim are here with reaction to Leicester’s dismantling of Leeds Utd, who looked a bit more nervous and tentative than in recent games. We also look over Fulham’s first win of the season against fellow relegation strugglers West Brom, while Chelsea’s fourth-choice goalkeeper Petr Cech is keeping it all business. We also look ahead to tonight as, away from the Champions League, AFC Wimbledon return to Plough Lane after their 29-year wait - glorious!
