Manchester City, eh? They’ve got themselves back on the straight and narrow with three wins on the bounce, including a big one last night against Aston Villa. Marcus, Luke and Andy are here to react to that and some important news about the Premier League's Danny Glover.Elsewhere, after Jamie Vardy's candid, Red Bull-fuelled tirade on social media, Luke tells Marcus and Andy why Ruud van Nistelrooy needs to bear a fair share of the responsibility for Leicester City's dire season. Plus, the Serie A title race might go down to a play-off! And presumably Antonio Conte is fuming about it...We’re going on tour!

The pressure was on for Nuno's men. They'd lost their last two games. They were down in seventh. Nuno himself (probably) had a crafty cig outside the stadium before kick-off. And yet they picked up a HUGE win at Spurs to return to third in the Premier League!Marcus and Vish react to a big night in Nottingham Forest's unlikely hunt for Europe and Tottenham Hotspur's equally unlikely hunt for 17th place. The lads mark a special anniversary and there's also some love for Leeds and Burnley, who were officially promoted back to the Premier League today! Burnley also won a Serie A title and aroused Fabio Capello, but keep listening for more on that...We’re going on tour!

It was the full range of emotions in the Premier League this weekend: Leicester City fans reflected on their relegation, while Vish was able to savour Man United’s survival.He joins Marcus and Jim to marvel at a crushing Aston Villa display which keeps the race for the Champions League spots very interesting, while Fulham politely let Chelsea stay involved too.Plus, Trent Alexander-Arnold did a classic shirt whip-off but we’re sad there wasn’t a Real Madrid tattoo in sight.And can Phil Neville make America great again?

We're not actually JUST talking about Man United for today's opening question. It turns out Marcus, Jim and Andy thinks there's big rebuilds all over the place in the Prem, not least over in East London. A cheeky Andy Carroll loan deal, anyone?Another listener asks if Real Madrid's woeful exit and PSG's impressive progress in the Champions League suggests that Kylian Mbappé is the problem and the lads discuss which countries they'd most like to visit to watch football!
