What are the five big decisions that Daniel Farke has made this season that has led Leeds United to the cusp of safety?

ERLING HAALAND aimed a dig at rivals Manchester United as he celebrated Leeds' famous win at Old Trafford. The Whites took a massive step towards survival with a 2-1 win, their first away victory at United since 1981. Noah Okafor bagged a first half brace to leave Daniel Farke's men in dreamland at the interval....

A monumental victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford has given Leeds United a priceless lifeline in their quest for Premier League survival.

Leeds United have won a league match at Old Trafford for the first time in 45 years, beating Manchester United 2-1 on Monday night. The result gives Daniel Farke’s side a huge boost in their …

Chelsea dare not lose, West Ham and Leeds play out a survival dress rehearsal, while Phil Foden urgently needs to make an impact Phil Foden made two starts for England over the international break as Thomas Tuchel experimented with how the Manchester City attacking midfielder could be used at the World Cup. He played in a couple of positions but was ineffective in two collectively subpar performances from the Three Lions. It means he has one assist and no goals in his past 22 appearances for club and country in what has been an underwhelming campaign for the 25-year-old. He has dropped below Rayan Cherki in Pep Guardiola’s pecking order and has not completed a full 90 minutes since January. In the Carabao Cup final, Foden was permitted a late cameo, and it feels as if this is the time when he should be making a difference in the final stages of the season. There are still trophies to be played for, even if winning the Premier League title would involve a huge turnaround against Arsenal. This means the FA Cup is the most promising prospect and Foden should be desperate to start and remind everyone of the world-class player he could be, especially against a Liverpool side who often struggle against smart No 10s. The next six weeks could be make or break for Foden’s City and international career, so he must seize every opportunity.

Jimbo has Tim Spiers, Jay Harris and Luis Miguel Echegaray for company as the first silverware of the season in England is handed out. It’s Manchester City who claim the Carabao Cup thanks to a brace from Nico O’Reilly. What happened to league leaders Arsenal? And did Mikel Arteta make a mistake by starting Kepa? It was a cup final atmosphere elsewhere in North London but it was Forest who took home a massive 3 points at Spurs in the battle to survive. Are Tottenham doomed? The only positive for Spurs is that West Ham also lost and stay below them in the relegation zone. Villa the big winners in the Champions League race this weekend. That’s because Liverpool lost at Brighton and Chelsea were taken apart by Everton. Are the Blues set to miss out on Champions League football? What will that mean for Liam Rosenior?

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Bournemouth fan Neil Grover and Luton fan Dan Ashby as the two teams face each other to complete Double Gameweek 28. There's a heavy FPL focus on this one with full coverage of the assets across both teams. Dominic Solanke, fitness permitting, looks set to be captained by the majority of FPL managers, but should those who haven't used the Triple Captain chip go all in on The Cherries talisman? With Marcos Senesi now set to miss the double who is the best Bournemouth defensive option? Marcus Tavernier? Justin Kluivert or an alternative midfielder? Do alternative options at Luton such as Alfie Doughty and Ross Barkley offer more reliability than the Bournemouth options? Can any of the Luton enablers be trusted? And can selling Erling Haaland for Carlton Morris really be considered for those not Free Hitting in GW29? Plus, discussion on The Hatters hopes for survival, why Bourbnemouth may have not looked at their brest despite ending their winless run at Burnley and the Podcast begins with discussion on Tom Lockyer whose cardiac arrest when the sides originally met is why the sides will now meet again next Wednesday.

Kelly Cates is joined by Tony Adams, Michael Dawson and Jamie Carragher and they witnessed Nottingham Forest clinch Premier League survival with their 1-0 win against Arsenal which also crowned Manchester City champions for a third successive season. Carragher felt the Gunners struggled to cope with the atmosphere and intensity at the City Ground and that was credit to Steve Cooper’s players for the fighting performance they produced. The trio also reflect on Arsenal’s stuttering end to the season and Manchester City’s relentless recent form which ultimately secured them the title. Adams feels a contributing factor to Arsenal’s recent demise is the lack of depth in the squad compared to their rivals, Manchester City. Carragher believes the Gunners blew their best chance at winning the Premier League and also pointed to a lack of quality alternatives in the squad compared with their starting eleven. Steve Cooper gives his reaction to Kelly, Tony, Michael and Jamie and found it difficult to describe his emotions at the time, but said that remaining in the Premier League allows the club to keep building and growing. Mikel Arteta congratulated Manchester City on securing the Premier League during his post-match interview, but admitted it was a really sad day for the club. Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis also speaks with Pat Davison and said that keeping faith with Steve Cooper was a very wise decision.

Ben Chilwell is currently the most bought player in FPL this week? Is there any reason not to invest? Should Reece James or a cheaper option be considered a better alternative? Is double Chelsea defence the way to go? And who of the offensive players appeals most?

Plus, there's chat on the managers Graham Potter and Sean Dyche, the disparity in January spending between the two clubs, expectations for the remainder of the season including Everton's hopes for the survival and if Chelsea can yet mount an unlikely challenge for 4th place...
