Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Marcus Bean and Jonathan Wilson to discuss a full slate of Premier League fixtures.

On the podcast today; surprising wins for Brighton and Newcastle, to help in their battle against relegation. Tottenham were poor without Harry Kane, and similarly Leicester struggled without Jamie Vardy – are both teams too reliant on their frontmen?

Elsewhere, Manchester City squeezed past Sheffield United, Liverpool looked back to their best and Arsenal and Manchester United played out a drab 0-0.

Plus we are joined by Troy Townsend from Kick It Out to discuss what social media companies should be doing to prevent racist attacks on footballers.
