    Essential Questions: Is Man City trip a must-win for Liverpool?
    Feb 20 2025
    After Liverpool's draw at Aston Villa on Wednesday, do they need maximum points at Man City live on Sky Sports on Sunday to keep title rivals Arsenal at bay and end talk of a wobble from Arne Slot's side?

    Peter Smith is joined by Sam Blitz and Richard Morgan to dissect the form of the Premier League leaders, as well as the defending champions, following City's Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid.

    The team also share insight on Chelsea's drop off, ahead of the Blues' own visit to Villa Park in a game which could be key for Champions League qualification for next season.

    The Football Museum: Exhibit 26 - Chesney Hawkes
    Feb 18 2025
    The One and Only Chesney Hawkes has entered The Football Museum, and fortunately he does have clothes on!

    The West Ham fan talks us through watching Jarrod Bowen score the club's most memorable goal from the stands in Prague, but does have a bone to pick with the Hammers captain for not keeping a promise.

    As you'd expect, the famous Europa Conference League triumph features heavily, but Chesney explains why an event hours before kick-off proved to be the greatest moment of his life!

    Essential Questions: As Man Utd travel to Tottenham, whose faithfuls will be celebrating come full-time?
    Feb 13 2025
    Ahead of a bottom-half clash with top billing this weekend as Man Utd travel to Tottenham, whose faithfuls will be celebrating come full-time and whose hopes of climbing the table banished for another week?

    If the puns are confusing you - the Essential Football castle welcomes a special guest as Jake Brown joins Ron Walker and Sam Blitz for this week's episode, fresh from winning the third series of The Traitors.

    A Man Utd fan since birth, Jake gives his thoughts on their hopes for Sunday's game as well as United's season, Ruben Amorim and where Kobbie Mainoo will end up after his False 9 experiment last time out.

    As well as discussing Ange Postecoglou's hopes, where Spurs sit after their back-to-back cup exits and how big a game this is for the Tottenham boss, there's plenty of behind-the-scenes Traitors chat, the story of Jake's journey to playing football for England's Cerebral Palsy team and much more.

    Tottenham Hotspur against Manchester United is live on Sky Sports on Sunday from 4pm.
