Vicky Gomersall is joined by The Mirror’s Darren Lewis and Sky Sports News reporter Paul Gilmore to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Liverpool, praising Arne Slot, as he becomes the fifth Premier League manager to win the league in their first season; is it one of the best debut campaigns we’ve seen? Next to Crystal Palace’s triumph at Wembley.  Darren calls Palace’s performance outstanding, as they won the club’s third FA Cup semi final and get one step closer to silverware. Elsewhere, Johnny Phillips sits down with Ange Postecoglou and chats about staying united during a difficult season for Tottenham, coping with pressures, and the hope of a Europa League win. Finally, Patrick Davison meets Alisson to talk about change after the Klopp era, and a first season playing under Arne Slot.  We discuss whether Alisson is currently the best keeper in the world.   Running Order: 1min Slot’s Debut Campaign 22min Palace’s Triumph at Wembley 35mins Ange Exclusive 43mins Alisson Interview

Vicky Gomersall is joined by Sky Sports News reporter Gary Cotterill and The Sunday Times Chief Football Writer Jonathan Northcroft to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin by looking at the Premier League title race, with Liverpool in touching distance to secure the title.  How important will Virgil Van Dijk’s new contract be?  Gary believes Van Dijk is the greatest centre back since Vincent Kompany, but do Liverpool need to spend big in summer? Next, Daniel Khan sits down with Ruud Van Nistlerooy to talk about Leicester’s difficult position, the standards being set and plans for the future. Elsewhere, we discuss the race for the Champions League spots, looking at Aston Villa’s 4-1 win at home over Newcastle and Olly Watkin’s post-match interview, claiming he was “fuming” to be left on the bench against PSG.   Gary and Jonathan both think Forest are the team to miss out on the Champions League for next season. Also, Joe Thomlinson interviews Jurrien Timber about the win over Real Madrid and a personal battle won against Vinicius Jr, and the elite level defence Arsenal have created this season. We then discuss Tottenham, after they’ve reached the Europa League semi-finals.  Gary thinks Ange is a man who looks like he’s feeling the pressure and believes a lot of Tottenham fans think he’ll be gone win or lose in the semi-finals.   We end with two more interviews; Jamie Carragher sits down with Arne Slot to talk about Salah and Van Dijk’s contract renewals, Trent being back on the pitch, and the title coming to a close.  And James Cole chats with Mikel Arteta about defeating Madrid, and carrying form in to the league.   Running Order: 1min End of the title race 11min Ruud Van Nistlerooy Interview 15min Race for the Champions League spots 28min Timber interview  34mins Spurs Semi Finals 44mins Carragher and Slot 54mins Arteta interview

The panel discuss the 33 year old’s upcoming move away from the Etihad, where his future might lie and who might replace him at City.   From a player leaving one club to another who is staying, we unpick Mohamed Salah’s new contract and what it could mean for both the forward and for Liverpool   We also analyse Arsenal’s draw against Brentford and ask if they’ve already got one eye on their Champions League tie against Real Madrid on Wednesday.    Plus, we react to some breaking news, as goalkeeper Andre Onana is dropped from Manchester United’s squad for their trip to Newcastle, and we look at the race for European places this season.

We begin pitch-side at Wembley, with eyes on the Carabao Cup final.  A less than perfect buildup week for Liverpool after Champions-league loss and a buoyant Bruno Guimaraes describes the fixture as Newcastle’s “World Cup Final.” Next, Natalie Gedra sits down with Jacob Murphy and Alexander Isak, who talk about their chemistry, what it means to play in a final, and their favourite goal scored together. Elsewhere, Juliette Ferrington chats with Cody Gakpo about recovering from the intensity of the midweek Champions League clash with PSG and Liverpool’s resilience this season. And Keith Downie meets ex-Newcastle player Rob Lee on Wembley Way, who reminisces scoring against Chelsea at Wembley, and is confident his old team can lift a trophy for the first time in seventy years. We also talk of Arsenal’s opportunity to work away at the deficit against Liverpool, and the importance of building momentum ahead of the Champions League tie against Real Madrid.
