Summary

Was Saturday the day Liverpool’s title hopes took the cruellest of turns? Jasper Taylor is joined by Gerard Brand, Ben Ransom and Keith Downie to dissect the weekend’s action in the Premier League, leading of course with Virgil van Dijk’s ACL injury and what that might mean for the champions (04:06). The panel analyse Ruben Dias’ impact at Manchester City (21:50), how Mikel Arteta has made Arsenal a more solid outfit (31:11), while Keith talks all things Newcastle in the new Regional Review: takeovers, Allan Saint-Maximin and why their points tally doesn’t match the feeling (36:02). Plus, after six-goal thrillers at Chelsea and Spurs, we ask: why can’t teams defend anymore?! (51:04).
