Hello and welcome to the Late Kick Off Football Podcast episode 195! The title race tightens, the set-piece charts get a workout, and somewhere in a technical area Igor Tudor is absolutely losing it.
We start with our Moments of the Week (04:00): Brighton are officially back, apparently – two wins on the spin for the first time since November after seeing off Nottingham Forest. At Craven Cottage, Alex Iwobi side-foots Fulham past Spurs and sends Tudor into what can only be described as an early-era existential crisis. And at Anfield, Liverpool stick five past West Ham in a seven-goal thriller that was, paradoxically, not much fun at all – Arne Slot’s side now have nine goals from dead balls in 2026. Set-piece FC? You said it, Arne, not us.
Then to the heavyweight stuff. Arsenal edge Chelsea 2-1 in a feisty London derby (08:00): Saliba does the corner thing, Timber does the corner thing again, Pedro Neto sees red, and David Raya preserves a five-point cushion at the summit. Over at Old Trafford, Manchester United come from behind to beat Crystal Palace (22:30) – Lacroix scores, Lacroix walks, Bruno conducts, and Benjamin Sesko applies the header as the Red Devils continue their upward hum. And Manchester City grind out a very un-City 1-0 at Elland Road (28:30), Semenyo striking before the break to keep the pressure squarely on Mikel Arteta’s leaders.
Elsewhere, in ‘one thing we learned (34:00)’ Burnley almost join the very exclusive “3-0 down and win 4-3” club… but don’t. Newcastle’s schedule catches up with them as Everton win at St James's, prompting mutterings of shoogly pegs. Wolves climb above Derby’s record-low watermark with victory over Villa, and yes, we do check the xG.
And finally, the matchday’s unmistakable bin juice: Bournemouth 1-1 Sunderland at 12:30 on a Saturday (42:00). You had to be there. We didn’t.
