The Secret to Chelsea's Resurgence: It's not who you think it is.
Chelsea's 5-0 win against West Ham has signaled that they have returned to the form we were used to seeing from them in the past, and while Cole Palmer has rightly made the headlines, there's another player that explains why they're suddenly good again.
Ali, Fergal, and George walk you through Chelsea's tactical tweaks and secret weapons that made things click lately, propelling the Blues to 7th and a real possibility of European football.
As we recorded, news actually broke that West Ham are set to part ways with David Moyes and acquire former Real Madrid and Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui, and we incidentally reflect on David Moyes' perception and legacy at London Stadium.
Ipswich are back in the Premier League thanks to back-to-back promotions, so we have a quick review of the promotion and (very funny) relegation stories from last weekend, and look ahead to the Playoffs.
Plus: The "Title Race", top team strikers' form, and a typically surprising George take on who wins the Golden Boot. And: a Championship Edition Short King of the Week!

Has Guardiola Gone Too Rogue?
Why didn't either team really go for it? Were they just not on form? Why did they play with 4 central defenders? Why is Gvardiol playing at left-back? Was his performance good, bad, or indifferent?
Why were Arsenal content with a draw? Does that open the door for Liverpool now? And did Xabi Alonso take the right decision?
And how utterly brilliant is Alexis Mac Allister, AKA Fergal's cousin? (Real story)
Ali is joined by Fergal and George to answer allllll of that.

The title race hinges on THIS for Arsenal and Liverpool
England losing to Brazil and Wirtz scoring for France inside 8 seconds in Lyon? People raging over a tiny cross on a piece of fabric? None of our business lol
Ali and Harry are back to discuss the biggest strength and weakness of their respective teams, joint-table-toppers Liverpool and Arsenal (the latter being actually top on goal difference).

Why "The Billion Pound Bottlejobs" tag is totally justified: A Comprehensive Analysis.
Liverpool's children defeated the most expensive side of all time in Chelsea in one of the more impressive Jurgen Klopp successes with the club, and it's a perfect time to have Chelsea boys Fergal and George on the pod to reflect on a new failure, how it came about, and who's to blame.

This is a UNIQUE title race. You'll never see it again.
Klopp to become the only manager to win a league against Pep twice.
Pep to become the only manager to win the Premier League 4 times consecutively.
Arteta to become the youngest Premier League-winning manager in history.
One of those three things will happen.
Harry's back [tw/@haznicoll]! The Arsenal part of the pod is in for the first time in 2024 to talk through a HUGE month for the Gunners, and Ali and Fergal preview yet another JAFP Derby for Chelsea coming in the Carabao Cup Final this weekend against an injury-overloaded Liverpool.
