Jack Pitt-Brooke is your host this week with Ed simply too busy to be involved, and he is joined by Jonathan Liew and Miguel Delaney. A holy trinity for Easter.

This week they look forward to Wednesday's huge Manchester derby and start with an in-depth look at Manchester United, and why the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era has started to go wrong already. What if he is not Ole Gunnar Di Matteo but their Ole Gunnar Sherwood?

Then it's time to pick apart Manchester City, their own form, and the strange dynamic of a derby that will be without needle because of United fans' opposition to Liverpool winning the league.

Finally, the guys go via Dream Team to ask about fictionalised versions of football and ask why, even as football becomes more and more popular, they are not as widespread as they once were.

Of course there is the usual offering of tangential discussion and a nod to our sponsor, Beer52.
