Aston Villa manager and former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard came desperately close to denying Manchester City the title, only for Pep Guardiola's side to mount a dramatic comeback, scoring three goals in less than six minutes with there being less than 15 minutes to play. Ouch baby! 

Paris St-Germain's Idrissa Gueye refused to play in a match to avoid wearing a rainbow symbol in support of LGBTQ+ rights. Kouyate posted a picture of himself alongside Gueye on Instagram, with a caption calling Gueye "a real man". Sadly, this couldn't be further from the case. 

Steven Gerrard has made it clear that Aston Villa will ‘give everything’ against Manchester City after he was asked if he could possibly give Liverpool a favour in the Premier League title race. Will Gerrard be able to do it or will he have a mangerial slip?

(So sorry for the terrible pun).

Everton were in 15th place when they sacked Rafa; under Lampard, they are in the drop zone. Lampard's appointment has yielded less points per game than Rafa. Everton resorted to the dark arts and only had 18% possession and still lost by two goals. Is it time for Everton to go down?

Manchester City completed the signing of Jack Grealish for a British-record fee of £100 million, surpassing the £89.3 million spent by Manchester United to sign Paul Pogba from Juventus in 2016.

Before Brentford came to Stamford Bridge, only Manchester City had left victorious during the 2021/22 Premier League season, and they had conceded ten times at home in 13 matches. That record was laid to rest as Brentford scored four second half goals to record a memorable win against the Champions of Europe. The Legend and Special Guest Paul discuss if Chelsea are cracking under the pressure of everything that is happening behind the scenes at the club.

Steven Gerrard has coldly responded to Arsenal's Bukayo Saka after he pleaded with referees to give him more protection following the win at Aston Villa. Gerrard said, and we quote, "I’m sitting here now with screws in my hips. I’ve had about 16 operations. I’m struggling to go to the gym at the moment. That’s all on the back of earning a living in English football. Saka will learn and he’ll learn quick.” The Legend and Special Guest Paul discuss. 

On the latest episode of EPLpod, The Legend talks about God's team getting dumped out of the Champions League as Special Guest Paul talks about Liverpool beating Arsenal to a pulp.  Patreon will be closing soon; send us canned goods instead please!
