This week we’re focusing our attention on the metrics which win you football matches - other than goals and assists.

We’ll talk second balls, duels and explain what coaches are actually watching on those tiny screens on the touchline.

Host: Michael Bailey

With: Michael Cox, Mark Carey and Liam Tharme

Producer: Mike Stavrou
