Chris Darwen, founder of Total Football Analysis, and Chris Mumford (@clmum), Publisher of Premier League Guide, talk about the things worth talking about in the Premier League. They have their transatlantic banter from Alicante, Spain and Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA. 

Chris+Chris chat about the revival of Man City, Lampard in the hot seat and Arsenal's 3 steps forward and one step back. We also share what we will be looking for in the Man United - Liverpool match.

We will be doing a unique show this week. Amazing that we have parity in the premier league. Only seven points separate 1st and 10th place with games-in-hand everywhere. We walk through the contenders and pretenders along with the surprises and disappointments. We talk through weekend previews including Leicester-Southampton and Liverpool-ManUnited.

During Matchday 14, we had some blowouts in the top of the table and some draws at the bottom end with a lone upset of Burnley over Wolves. According to the pundits, Ole went from tactical simpleton to genius as ManUnited manhandled Leeds. Chelsea righted the ship against West Ham after some disappointing losses. Liverpool was on fire with Crystal Palace the unfortunate victim. ManCity is quietly going about its business of winning while Tottenham posted two losses after the curse of being the anointed as League contenders last week. We will have a quick chat on the upcoming Boxing Day matches.
