Newcastle beat Man United & Leicester sack Rodgers
Another eventful day in the Premier League!
With only two Premier League games on Sunday it could easily have been a nice quiet start to Easter week… but that was not to be as the battle at the top and bottom of the league table got even more spicy as Newcastle moved above Manchester United to third after a two nil win and Brendan Rodgers was sacked by Leicester City.
So there was a lot to go through for Ben Haines, Derby County centre back, Curtis Davies, former Spurs defender, Stephen Kelly and senior writer at ESPN, Mark Ogden on Sunday night. So they start at St James’ Park – where they look at what went wrong for United and where Newcastle excelled on home soil. They hear from both Eddie Howe and Erik ten Hag.
Then focus turns to Leicester as Brendan Rodgers departs the club after four years at the helm – Ben, Curtis, Stephen and Mark try to pinpoint where it all went wrong and get a fans perspective too.
As the top four fight heats up, the bottom of the table is getting tight too after West Ham got a crucial three points at home to bottom of the table Southampton. The panel assess just how important that win was for the Hammers and what Southampton can do to move off the bottom of the table. David Moyes and Ruben Selles also make cameo appearances too.
And if that wasn’t enough, attention turns to a massive game on Monday night as Everton play host to Tottenham – with both clubs in desperate need for a win… but who will come out on top?
**Disclaimer** This episode was recorded before the news that Graham Potter was sacked by Chelsea.
