Happy New Year! We’re back in full swing, albeit 10 kilos heavier than pre-Christmas, and Newcastle’s Christmas hangover continues after Liverpool inflicted yet another defeat onto Howe’s side. Klopp’s side start the year at the top of the tree - but can they remain there and who is their biggest threat? Arsenal faltered for the second consecutive game, this time at Fulham so is now the time for questions to be asked about Arteta’s side and their chances this season? It’s t-minus 15 days until Ivan Toney is allowed to return from his ban, and it couldn’t come at a better time for Brentford who are on the back of five consecutive losses. So - should he stay or should he go? While you’re here, be sure to leave us a review and rating in your listening platform - It helps us out massively, and we thank you for all your support!

It was back to winning ways for Manchester City has they continue to hunt down the league leaders, though it took some effort after coming from behind against Everton to take all three points. With De Bruyne and Erling Haaland on the bring of returning, what does this mean for the title challengers? And Pochettino was spared yet another poor result after Madueke won and scored a penalty late on to take all three points at Stamford Bridge, but what will it mean for Crystal Palace who are slowly drifting towards those relegation spots? Ivan Toney will be available from mid-January for Brentford and they could do with his goals, but will he be with the Bees come the end of the transfer window?

Plus we look at a horrific error from Onana - no, not the one you’re thinking of, but Everton’s Amadou Onana who missed his penalty which saw his side leave the Carabao Cup. And it was a night to forget for Kieran Trippier and Newcastle as Chelsea advanced into the semi-finals. Head to NordVPN.com/FSD to grab your discounted subscription now plus 4 extra months on top!

If you watched the full 90 minutes of Liverpool vs Manchester United, we’re sorry to break it to you, but you will never get that time back.
