How to listen to podcasts: everything you need to know

We start at Anfield, where Liverpool swept aside in-form Crystal Palace to close in on their long-awaited Premier League title, which could be secured on Thursday evening if Manchesyer City do not beat Chelsea. We ask what they need to do to be considered one of the greatest teams the league has ever seen.

We then move on to the rest of the Premier League action, which saw important wins in the battle for European football by Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves. We also look at the relegation battle as Norwich sunk further, while Villa gained an important point on their rivals.

In the final part, Lars gives us a brief European roundup before we preview the FA Cup quarter-final matches and speak to Marcus about his director of football training, Black Lives Matter and the upcoming League One play-offs.
