The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Natalie Gedra into the studio with some intriguing chat about some intriguing football.
It’s the League Cup final this weekend. Liverpool managed to battle back and beat Luton in the Premier League despite their big list of absentees. Are they still the favourites against Chelsea? And will it be better than the last Klopp-Poch final?
Arsenal are beaten by the last kick of the game in the Champions League as we question Arteta’s faith in his bench and whether the competition really is the best of the best.
There’s almost a full calendar of league fixtures this weekend with the most one-sided game in English football and the first game in English football for Oliver Glasner at Crystal Palace. Raphael Honigstein tells us more.
Plus GD, xG and the most irreplaceable player in the Premier League.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
