Phil Foden a shoo-in for POTY?

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

We start off by discussing Bukayo Saka's alleged dive versus Bayern Munich, questioning whether Arsenal's 'Starboy' will learn from his error and wondering whether fans would accept players from their side bending the rules if it meant they won the game.

The Gunners welcome Unai Emery's Aston Villa to the Emirates this Sunday, with the Spaniard making his Premier League return to the stadium he once called home. The lads question whether Emery is still the victim of his short stint in north London and discuss the challenges managers face when shaking off negative perceptions.

Ian and Chris have their say on the Premier League's player of the season, with Manchester City players inevitably in the conversation. Ian previously backed Kyle Walker for this particular accolade - does our host stand firm or has he reversed on this? City host Luton this weekend with Rob Edwards' side running out of games to maintain their Premier League status...

AND the pair question whether the quality at the bottom of the Premier League is strong enough, and if 40 points is still enough to keep teams in the league.

Presenters: Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton
