In this episode of One Kick from Glory, we dive into how Mikel Arteta’s side combined grit and flair to dominate both domestically and in Europe. And at the bottom end of the table, there are concerns West Ham, Wolves and Nottingham Forrest. Who will survive the drop?

The 2025/26 Premier League season is back and the big question on everyones lips is 'will Liverpool retain the title?'.
Man City, Arsenal and potentially Chelsea will come back stronger this season and present more of a challenge for the Reds from Merseyside, but will they have enough to make it two in a row?

The dust has settled on another Premier League season. Liverpool are the champions, Manchester City have continued their spending spree from January to fix the issues in their squad and Tottenham are searching for a new manager. We look on this eventful season, sharing our thoughts and ratings for our teams. Who surprised us, and which individuals were the stand out players for the season. Listen to hear our thoughts.
It's been a season of delight and frustration for some, but the unexpected winners in the English domestic cups have provided a welcome release from the usual affair. Newcastle and Crystal Palace winning the Carabao and FA Cups respectively, alongside a dominant Liverpool in the league (unexpected in relation to last season's form) & the Arsenal Women winning their second Uefa Women's Champions League trophy have truly capped of a season for the underdog.
Matthew called it, and it has come to pass.
We share our thoughts on these 4 trophy wins.

In the weekend where Liverpool's second Premier League title was confirmed, with a comprehensive victory over Spurs, Crystal Palace have one match to make history. An FA Cup final against Manchester City is on the horizon, but can Palace pull off a shock win against the juggernaut from Manchester. Arsenal's Women pulled off a well earned victory over the mighty Lyon, to set up a showcase Uefa women's champions league final against Barcelona and could the Men's team join them? First, they have to overcome PSG. It's all to play for as the season draws to a close.

Mark joins us to talk through all the good news at Anfield. Virgil Van Dijk signed a new contract at Liverpool, following Mo Salah's renewal last week giving the fans an extra boost as the head towards the title. And what of Arsenal? Signing off an historic victory in the Bernabeu against Real Madrid. Can the fans start dreaming that Champions League glory will come to North London? Or will PSG stop the party? Either way, Arteta has a lot on his plate and will be working hard to guide Arsenal to victory. Otherwise, there will be questions to answer.

Liverpool are marching on to their second Premier League title and the good news kept on flowing at Anfield. Mo Salah signed his contract extension to stay at Liverpool, with captain Virgil Van Dijk likely to follow. Whilst over at Man City, Kevin DeBruyne announced that he will be leaving at the end of the season. It will be a big adjustment for them next year, but where will Kevin be playing his football and could he stay in the Premier League.
Lastly, Declan Rice struck twice to put Arsenal in command of the Champions League quarter final tie with Real Madrid. How will Arsenal approach the second leg and could the infamous Remontada happen?

The races for the title and for survival are almost at their conclusion. Liverpool look set for a second Premier League title, a first under new boss Arne Slot, whilst the bottom 3 look ever increasingly likely to remain that way. What a tough year for Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich town. The premier league is unforgiving if you are unable to adapt. And as for Mikel Arteta, it's looking like another maybe season for the Arsenal manager. Should he be given another chance, or is it time for The Gunners to try something new?

There are 13 games remaining in this Premier League season and there is still so much to play for. Liverpool have the advantage in the title race and the bottom 3 are all looking up in hope of survival. Could Manchester United get dragged into that relegation fight? Sounds unlikely, but if results continue concerns will ring out around Old Trafford.

It's been coming and The Arsenal finally put Man City to the sword. A 5 star performance from the gunners and they will hope this will fire them on in the race for the Premier League title. Liverpool will take some stopping though and there's no margin for error left. How will this season pan out?

In this episode, we dive deep into Liverpool’s surprising draw against Manchester United, analyzing the key moments, missed opportunities, and tactical battles that defined the clash. As Trent Alexander-Arnold struggled to play to his usual level, questions were asked about the links to Real Madrid. Just an off game or is his head already in Madrid? We discuss this and the most impressive team of the moment: Nottingham Forrest.

Russell Martin and Gary O'Neil were the first managerial casualties of the premier league season. After a string of poor performances, they were both unsurprisingly sacked by their clubs. Where did it go wrong, and where could they land next?

Liverpool were the big winners from this weekend's fixtures. A vital win against Man City and only Chelsea capitalised on the postponed Merseyside derby. Can they keep their great run going? And what next for Ruben Amorim's Man United? Definitely a week to forget for him and his inconsistent reds.

In what was a shock for some, but not for Craig, Tottenham beat Manchester City 4:0 at the Eithad stadium. A result that leaves Man City with a lot of work to do if they are to win a fifth successive title. Is it really Liverpool's year and who are the contenders poised for a title run in the years to come? It's going to be exciting finding out.

Deary me, it's not been a good time for the PGMOL. Leaked videos of ref David Coote spread over the internet and potentially expose a long held belief about the inherent bias of the premier league referees. How will PGMOL respond?
Also, it was a closely contested London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal. What lessons can be learned from this game, and will Arteta get Arsenal firing again?

It's been a tricky month for Man City, Arsenal and Kylian Mbappe. A string of poor results and performances have left many with more questions than answers. When will Kylian find his groove at Real Madrid? Do Arsenal need another mid season break to Dubai to rediscover their form and are Man City beatable now in the absence of Rodri? How pivotal is the derby clash between Chelsea and Arsenal this season?
Lastly, with the Balon D'or award going to the aforementioned Rodrigo, was Vini Jr robbed or did the best man win?
Have a listen to hear our thoughts.
