Matchday 25 seems like where we are more of the same, but with some twists. We do a deep dive on Chelsea hitting a speed bump while Southampton has lost its mojo. Everton is partying like it’s 1999 while West Ham regains the title of London’s finest. Leicester and Man United take care of business for title of second best while Man City bosses Arsenal. Finally, we have a “gentlemen’s” discussion about the one change we could make to VAR.

Matchday 24 seems like we have hit an inflection point where we are deja vu all over again. Almost a super league within a league. Man City looks unbeatable even without Aguero and KDB. Man United is perceived to be underperforming even though they are in 2nd place. Will Leicester have the staying power after beating up on the once-mighty Liverpool? And Moyes has got West Ham as the I-think-I-can locomotive and tops in London. Ah, Chelsea just stole the dream away. We do a deep dive on the hopes, failings and any potential resurrections.

A curious Matchday 19 week… Players looked overtaxed and coaches haggard, while make-up games cluttered the midweek schedule.
