In this episode, former Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given joins Jamie Carragher on the sofa alongside some of the biggest fan channels in the country to talk all things football.

We begin with the title race, which is heating up as we approach a blockbuster end to the Premier League season. Can Manchester City catch Arsenal, or will the Gunners finally get the job done?

Attention then turns to the bottom of the table, with Spurs edging closer to the drop. The club have turned to Roberto De Zerbi to try and save their season, but can he turn things around?

We also hear from West Ham and Aston Villa, who still have everything to play for. The Hammers remain in the relegation battle, while Villa continue their push for Champions League qualification.

Liverpool and Manchester United are next under the spotlight. Where does Mo Salah rank among the Premier League’s all-time greats, and would a call from Luis Enrique be too good to turn down at Old Trafford?

Looking ahead, the panel discuss the FA Cup and who could lift the trophy, before turning to Scotland as fans from Hearts, Celtic and Rangers join the debate with the SPL race going down to the wire.

We start with the 1–1 draw between Chelsea and Arsenal. What does it mean for the title race and what did we learn about both sides? We also look at Declan Rice and where he ranks among the world’s best midfielders.

That result opens the door for Manchester City, who continue to hunt Arsenal down. Can Pep’s side catch them, and will their famous second half of the season surge prove decisive again?

We also check in with Aston Villa and Sunderland after their impressive starts and ask just how far both teams can go this season. Meanwhile, Newcastle and Fulham have had mixed results, can either find consistency and push up the table?

Despite beating West Ham, questions continue to follow Liverpool and Arne Slot. After a heavy summer spend, why are the same problems still showing and is the investment paying off?

Manchester United also get discussed after a big win at Selhurst Park. Is Ruben Amorim finally finding rhythm after a shaky start, and can United now put a run of results together?
