Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Adrian Clarke into the studio ahead of the conclusion of this lengthy Premier League campaign.

Leicester v Liverpool | CotC with @AaronLagor & @FPL_LocoLord | Planet FPL 2022/23

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Leicester fan Aaron Lagor and Liverpool fan Dan Lord to discuss the latest at their clubs, the Monday night meeting at The King Power and the FPL assets of interest. Can Leicester save themselves from the drop? Do they now have to win on Monday? There's also reflection on Brendan Rodgers reign as manager and thoughts on the interim spell under Dean Smith. Liverpool are on a run of 6 consecutive wins and have found form just in time to keep themselves in contention for a top 4 finish, can they yet overhaul one of the United's above them? Plus, are we overlooking captaining Mo Salah this week? Surely Trent Alexander-Arnold can't be benched... and with Leicester better offensively than defensively and desperate for points could the likes of James Maddison and Harvey Barnes be differentials to consider?

James is joined by Aston Villa correspondent Lee Jackson to discuss the sacking of Dean Smith as manager and ask what's next for the Midlands Club?

Are Villa in free fall and heading for a battle with relegation? And who might be next? Steven Gerrard's name is being mentioned in certain circles, could he be the man who Villa appoint? And would the appointment offer any guarantees of success? Plus, the depth of the squad is discussed and why so far the men bought to replace Jack Grealish haven't gelled as expected.

A stranger they had nothing in common with

Jimbo welcomes Daniel Storey, Adrian Clarke and Charlie Eccleshare into the studio after a weekend where two Premier League managers bite the dust. City dominate the Manchester derby at Old Trafford thanks to the likes of Bernardo Silva, a dream player for Pep who plays everywhere and does everything. And Phil Foden who has to play on the left. West Ham are 3 points off top spot after rattling Liverpool at the London Stadium. Is talk of the Hammers doing a Leicester really that far-fetched? Villa and Norwich both dispense with their managers. Dan Bardell pays tribute to Dean Smith while we’re thankful Daniel Farke left Carrow Road before it got poisonous.

Shoots like a horse

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Dan Bardell and Tom Williams are on hand to react to another managerial casualty in the Premier League. Saturday’s defeat at home to Man United signals the end for Nuno at Spurs. A man without an obvious plan, failing to get the best out of Kane and Son and turning Tottenham into a team of midfielders. Will Dean Smith be next after Villa’s 4th defeat in a row, against a West Ham side running rampant on the road? On the other hand, we extol the virtues of Vieira after Palace’s win at the Etihad. And we praise Potter to the hilt. The poster boy for the next era of British coaches. Plus Tuchel’s rotation, Ramsdale’s mad vibes and why PSG fans aren’t pleased with Pochettino.

And yes, we saw Mike Dean celebrating Tranmere’s win over Forest Green Rovers. What. A. Man.
