In 2023's final 'It's All Kicking Off!' instalment, Ian and Chris discuss whether Aston Villa's penultimate game of the calendar year has proven that they still have a way to go before they're true contenders in the league.

The lads discuss what's next for a thread-bare Newcastle side, struggling to adapt to the volume of games they've played so far this season. They also consider whether Eddie Howe will be afforded time by the ambitious Saudi owners.

We question whether Arsenal and Liverpool will be looking nervously over their shoulder as Manchester City show glimpses of a side ready to hit their stride.

AND stay tuned to hear Ian and Chris' highlights of the year as we wave goodbye to 2023.
