Analytics is arguably one of sport's fastest growing and most exciting fields. It's something people in sport never seem to stop talking about, but do we all agree on what it actually means? To help sift through the mud and understand what we should really be asking of our sports analysts, host Professor Sam Robertson speaks to two industry legends to figure out where sports analytics can have the most impact and what's in the future for this evolving area.

First up is expert Sarah Rudd, who until recently was the Director of Analytics for none other than Arsenal FC.  Next, Sam is joined by the prolific David Sumpter – Professor of Applied Mathematics at University of Uppsala and author of popular titles 'Soccermatics', 'Outnumbered' and 'The Ten Equations that Rule the World'.

Together, Sam, Sarah and David take a hard look at the current state of sports analytics and what might be on the horizon.
