Manchester United ended their five year trophy drought by beating Newcastle United in the League Cup final.We discuss if this is the symbolic start of something good for Erik Ten Hag and his team, and if the League Cup is a minor or major trophy…In Scotland, Celtic win another League Cup and we ponder if the dominance of Ange Postecoglou’s side will keep on going. Forever. Tottenham find themselves in the top four after beating a defensively and offensively lacklustre Chelsea 2-0.

But will every game be so hard for The Gunners for the rest of this season?Manchester City yet again dominate a side and fail to win. But how to explain it? Damned if we know.Newcastle United had possibly the worst start to a game for any side this season in their 2-0 defeat to Liverpool, and it’s left them in the goalkeeping lurch for the League Cup final. And will Liverpool sneak past the Magpies into top four contention? One team who almost certainly won’t be challenging for the Champions League places this season is Chelsea. After losing to bottom side Southampton, will the Chelsea board really, actually stick with Graham Potter?Plus, we look at La Liga and how Barcelona have levered themselves into first place with an impressive, and surely unsustainable; defensive record.This episode of the Tifo football podcast is presented by Michael Bailey and produced by Steve Hankey.***• Take advantage of MANSCAPED®’s best valued bundle and save 20% Off and Free Shipping with the code EPL23 at Manscaped.com Hosted on Acast.
