Spurs finally win but with two big injuries and other teams winning will it be enough? West Ham look 'happy in their own skin' but their fixtures are the tougher ones. Perhaps hardest of all are Leeds fixtures, could they still be dragged back into the fight?  The FA Cup saw Chelsea show more fight after the sacking of Liam Rosenior, is that ever acceptable, or is it just a sign of the chaos at the club? Arsenal are back on top, will that level of performance take them all the way to the title? Plus an exclusive interview with Roy Hodgson - the grand old man of football still gaining results and admirers at the age of seventy nine. Tom Clarke is joined by Alyson Rudd, Tom allnutt and gregor Robertson. All in a brand new studio, check us out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetimessport Hosted on Acast.
