Frank Lampard’s Chelsea and Arsenal’s Anfield acid test

From The Totally Football Show with James Richardson The Athletic

Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Jon Mackenzie are back in a week packed full of Premier League football and yet more managerial movement.

Frank Lampard is back at Chelsea as interim manager until the end of the season. He needs to introduce more spirit at Stamford Bridge and more chairs at Cobham.

Newcastle thrash West Ham 5-1 in a game so odd it could be considered a one-off. And a big weekend beckons, with leaders Arsenal hoping their excellent away record can stand the test of time at Anfield.

Plus why Leeds have been lucky, that Ferguson flick and Tottenham’s eyes on De Zerbi.

Produced by Charlie Jones.
