Cup Importance

In this episode, Jamie Carragher is joined by Wayne Rooney and some of the biggest fan channels in the country. With the Premier League title potentially in Liverpool’s hands this weekend, we explore how significant the achievement would be for the Reds - and what signings they might need to stay at the top in the coming seasons. The excitement continues with two major FA Cup semi-finals on the horizon. Nottingham Forest fan Greg shares his thoughts on how important the FA Cup is for their season, despite the club being in a strong position to qualify for the Champions League. Wayne Rooney weighs in, arguing that the FA Cup holds just as much importance as the Premier League and Champions League. Manchester United remain in the hunt for silverware. Can they go all the way, or will Tottenham stand in their path - and set-up an all-English final? With Wolves striker Matheus Cunha heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford, could a Europa League win help bring the Brazilian to Manchester? As the season draws to a close, Everton prepare to bid farewell to Goodison Park. Everton fan Baz joins Wayne and Jamie to reflect on their favourite memories at the ground.
