Jimbo has Duncan Alexander, Natalie Gedra and Mark Carey for company in the studio ahead of a bumper Premier League weekend. The Champions League midweek concludes with comfortable wins for Liverpool and Newcastle, plus a dominant but stressful victory for Chelsea. Five of the top eight teams are English heading into next week’s league phase finale. Why are Premier League clubs seemingly finding life in Europe easier? How easy will life for leaders Arsenal be when Michael Carrick’s resurgent Man United head to the Emirates? And who should Mikel Arteta play up front? Elsewhere, depleted Villa head to St James’s Park, it’s Glasner Rosenior at Selhurst Park and will Dr Tottenham turn up at Turf Moor? Plus the loveliest managers, managers that cause injuries, punch-ups and pasta without sauce.

Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Jon Mackenzie and Matt Davies-Adams after a Premier League weekend packed with red cards and 2-0 leads.

Jimbo, Jack Lang, Daniel Storey and Jay Harris reconvene to discuss a slightly bizarre Premier League weekend. Liverpool follow up their 7-0 win over Man United with a 1-0 surrender at Bournemouth. Which does little to convince the panel that they can overcome a three-goal deficit at Real Madrid in the Champions League this week. Leaders Arsenal cruise to a 3-0 win at Fulham with Leandro Trossard setting up all three goals. And Gabriel Jesus is back. It’s an unhappy Sunday for another Brazilian as Casemiro sees red again at Old Trafford. Why is he falling foul of officials so often when he didn’t in La Liga? And with the bottom 5 all taking points, and with 5 points separating the bottom 9, we ask who the heck is going down? Are Leicester too good? Or are Forest set to slide down the table without Johnson? Produced by Charlie Jones.
