Hosts Dan Bardell and George Elek are joined by bet365's Steve Freeth to preview the BIG ONE: Manchester City vs Liverpool... Does Sunday's winner go on to lift the Premier League trophy in May, will Salah rediscover his goalscoring touch at the Etihad and who plays on the left in our combined XI?
Plus, the trio assess Everton's demise, with relegation for the first time in 68 years looking increasingly likely, whether Erik ten Hag is the answer at Old Trafford, as well as, why it is fair to expect a busy summer at Villa Park and why it's 'advantage Spurs' in the race for Top 4.

The Athletic's Adam Leventhal is joined by Adam Crafton and Oli Kay to reflect on a massive weekend in the Premier League that saw Liverpool and Man City both walk away in good spirits after their pulsating 2-2 draw at the Etihad, The Athletic's Man City writer Sam Lee and our Liverpool writer James Pearce give us the take from both sides of the title race.
We're also joined by The Athletic's Tottenham correspondent Charlie Eccleshare to look at the quest for Champions League football as Spurs have moved into pole position in the space of a week following their win at Aston Villa and Arsenal's slump at home to Brighton, and that's before we even mention Manchester United's defeat at Everton - which we do!
Finally we turn our attention to the relegation battle and speak to The Athletic's Burnley writer Andy Jones who gives us the mood from Turf Moor after the Clarets' week of highs and lows as they followed up that massive win over Everton with a dismal defeat to Norwich at Carrow Road.
