Liverpool and Manchester City played another great game at Anfield and the big winners were Arsenal. The league leaders earned another important win against Brentford on Saturday evening. We discuss the edge of ruthlessness Mikel Arteta’s players are showing as they chase a first title in 20 years.

Dion Fanning and Gavin Cooney join us to talk over the Liverpool-City game and other Premier League weekend business. Klopp and Guardiola have defined the Premier League, their teams pushing each other to greater and greater heights, but there is ultimately only one question anyone cares about: who is better? Has Caoimhín Kelleher’s decision to stay at Liverpool been vindicated? And how do they interpret Evan Ferguson’s 19-game goalless run?

We also get Branno’s thoughts on who should be taking over from Declan Devine at Bohs.
