Mark and Phil are back after the Christmas break! This week they are Jacob Tanswell from the Athletic to dissect Villa's remarkable Premier League season and look into how Unai Emery has transformed the fortunes of Leon Bailey and John McGinn. 

They also discuss how table-toppers Liverpool will cope without AFCON-bound Mo Salah, whether Brentford will let Ivan Toney go to Arsenal, and how much Spurs and Ange will miss Heung-min Son. 

Phil also gives us an update on LA LIGA as Carlo Ancelotti plays the ultimate blinder with his new Real Madrid contract and Barcelona are taking advantage of those financial levers again to bring in 'the next Ronaldo Nazario' from Brazil.
