Arsenal’s Anfield Heist, City’s Brighton Curse & The Championship Derby?

The Premier League title race and top-four chaos reach fever pitch in Season 5, Episode 12! Tunji and Mekus are back to breakdown a huge weekend of football. We start at Anfield, where Arsenal ground out a 1-0 victory over Liverpool their first win at Anfield in 14 years, back when Mikel Arteta was still in the midfield! We discuss Liverpool finishing with zero shots on target, the controversial penalty shout that went uncalled, and draw a wild comparison between Arsenal’s brick-wall defense and Barcelona’s glass-cannon attack.

Next, we look at Manchester City’s shock home defeat to Brighton. Did you know City haven't beaten Brighton at the Etihad since 2023? We examine City’s defensive wobbles since the PSG match, whether Brighton can hold onto a top-four spot come January, and why Tunji & Mekus are praying City go scot-free on their 115 charges if it stops Arsenal from winning back-to-back titles! Finally, we unpack Manchester United’s 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at Old Trafford. From rumors that the church conference cast out all the "Red Devils" and left zero football talent behind, to United sitting 7 points off the bottom, we ask: will next season’s Manchester Derby be played in the Championship?
