Summary

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Jay Harris into the studio with the Premier League back in full swing. Liverpool maintain their 12 point lead with a Merseyside derby victory, despite the failure of the officials to send off Everton’s James Tarkowski. Do tough guys get an easier time from referees? Bukayo Saka scores on his return for Arsenal but they lose Gabriel and potentially more defenders to injury. How will they cope when Real Madrid visit the Emirates next week? One of the Premier League’s fastest players Anthony Elanga scores the winner for Forest against Man United and it looks like a very exciting end of the season for Villa. This weekend brings us the Manchester derby, a chance for Leicester to break more records and a chance for Thomas Frank to show Chelsea what they could have won. Plus Merino, Tescos and the Thursday-Sunday routine for gladiators. We're asking you to fill out a quick survey about you and your podcast habits by going to theathletic.com/athletic/survey25.
