'It's All Kicking Off!' returns for its Weekend Preview edition.

This week, we start off by reflecting on the key talking points surrounding Manchester City and Chelsea, in the context of their FA Cup showdown at Wembley. Ian questions why it seems to be okay for managers to complain about fatigue, but players can’t, after City crashed out of the Champions League, while Chris voices his outrage at Chelsea's youngsters for squabbling over a somewhat meaningless penalty.

The lads look ahead to Manchester United's clash with Coventry City, where Ian reckons a goal from The Sky Blues would cause 'panic' amongst United's players. Would a win for Eric ten Hag's side be enough for the manager to keep his job? Let us know in the poll on Spotify.

Another team whose European dream came to an end this week is Arsenal, who face a couple of key games before City next feature. Wolves away is up next, but some of the Gunners faithful are starting to lose patience with one or two of their stars. Does Oleksandr Zinchenko deserve to be scapegoated, or should fans place more faith in those that have helped them get to where they are?
