    'It's All Kicking Off!' returns for another Weekend Preview!In the latest episode, Ian and Chris begin by reflecting on Real Madrid's dramatic Champions League semi-final win over Bayern Munich. No trophy for Harry Kane this season - is he cursed?The lads also look ahead to a huge game in the Premier League between Manchester United and Arsenal. The gunners need to win to maintain the pressure on Manchester City at the top of the table. It feels like this could be the final hurdle of their title ambitions, but is it even a hurdle? David Moyes is leaving West Ham at the end of the season. Chris asks whether he has been disrespected by the Hammers. And in the Scottish Premiership, it's set up for one of the biggest Old Firm derbies in years. If Celtic win they'll be having a celebratory Player of the Season award ceremony later on that evening; if they lose, it'll be a much more gloomy affair. Either way, Chris is going!Presenters: Ian Ladyman and Chris SuttonProducer: Xavi Bird

    'It's All Kicking Off!' (aka your favourite football podcast) returns for its Monday edition.First up, Ian and Chris question whether Pep Guardiola was talking nonsense when claiming that the dryness of the pitch at the City Ground impacted Chris Wood's ability to put the ball in the back of the net, as his Manchester City side survived a few scares vs Nottingham Forest.We then talk all things North London Derby: how Arsenal have learnt from their errors last season, whether Spurs are up for the fight and why Ben White played with Guglielmo Vicario's gloves right before the Gunners took a decisive corner.The lads question whether Mo Salah risks tarnishing his Liverpool legacy after having a touchline spat with manager Jurgen Klopp, and ask themselves whether the Egyptian is frustrated after another nearly season on Merseyside.AND we question whether Newcastle should embrace the chance to sell their stars and follow the lead set by Aston Villa, a side regenerated by the cash raised by Jack Grealish's exit.Presenters: Ian Ladyman and Chris SuttonProducer: Henry Williams
  • 'He's reaching De Bruyne levels' Is Martin Odegaard amongst the Premier League elite?

    30:42
    'It's All Kicking Off!' returns for its Weekend Preview show. First on the agenda is Liverpool's trip to West Ham. The Reds have seen their title hopes shatter in recent weeks, losing to both Crystal Palace and - most recently - neighbours, Everton. Chris and Ian reckon Darwin Nunez' performance at Goodison Park summed up his season, letting favourable opportunities pass him by once more. Will Jurgen Klopp's side finish with on a high, with only 4 games left of his iconic tenure. The North London Derby is next up, with both Arsenal and Tottenham still fighting until the death to secure both the title and a top four place, respectively. While Liverpool have struggled to pick themselves up after slipping in the race, Arsenal have powered on and catapulted themselves back into contention. Can Spurs torpedo the Gunners' title charge once and for all? Finally, we turn our attention to Nottingham Forest v Manchester City. The noisy social media club versus the noisy neighbours… as we wait to see if Forest will be galvanised by the decisions, they feel harshly went against them.Presenters: Ian Ladyman + Chris SuttonProducer: Henry Williams
