Coming up on today's show, this week's quiz is... Are you ready for this, chaps? Go on! Non-English players with the most Premier League goals. Any clues? I can't give you clues. One of them's still playing in a foreign league.

Which non-English players have scored the most goals in the Premier League?

Gary Lineker 0:16
He's just winding you up here, Mike. I'll give you one clue, that's bullshit.
Micah Richards 0:20
Can we have a look at Alan's eyeline, mate? He ever so slightly veers a little bit over his computer here.
Alan Shearer 0:27
Is that what I'm thinking of? What do you think, Al? I think that's a decent shout. I think you should go with him.
Gary Lineker 0:35
He's playing games here with you, Micah. Interesting shout, Micah. That's an odd shout. No, come on. He's scored a lot of goals, he's scored a lot of penalties and he's had an unbelievable amount of assists. What's he got? I don't know, because he's not even in the top 20. LAUGHTER
Gary Lineker 1:03
Hello and welcome to The Rest Is Football with Alan Shearer, Micah Richards and me, Gary Lineker. With six weeks to go until the end of the season, we thought we'd mix things up with a short run of Premier League quizzes. Each episode will feature plenty of archive along the way for you to enjoy. I'll be quiz master for today, but we'll be rotating that role over the coming weeks. And to kick things off, this week's quiz is... Are you ready for this, chaps? Go on! Non-English players with the most Premier League goals.
Alan Shearer 1:38
Non-English players with the most Premier League goals.
Gary Lineker 1:42
Now, there's obviously a few that you'll get fairly immediately and quickly, but then it might get a little bit tricky. I'm going to give you just a few seconds to think about some of those names. This episode is powered by Fuse Energy. Before we kick off a quick pre-match warm-up from Fuse, a question on the teams and players who make things count. The question is, which Premier League team scored the most goals from set pieces in 24-25 season?
Micah Richards 2:14
I already know that one. Crystal Palace. Final answer. Game over. Done. I know it. I know it. It's in there.
Alan Shearer 2:21
Well, as I'm actually leading this quiz, I'm going to go Crystal Palace too, so that makes me the winner.
Ah!
Gary Lineker 2:29
Crystal Palace is the correct answer, followed by Aston Villa and then Arsenal. The best teams find an edge wherever they can. It should be the same with your energy.

So I suspect that the four or five will be quite easy. And then... So a list of... A list of... I've got in front of me, I've got the top 20 goal scorers. But I want, as usual with this, I want the top 10.
Alan Shearer 3:25
So it's a top Premier League goals, non-English Premier League goal scorer. Is that right? Yes. Yes.
Micah Richards 3:31
Phone's going away. Phone is going away. Good. Excellent. I don't want no.
Gary Lineker 3:37
I'll go first then, am I? Go on out. Salah. Mo Salah, obviously. He's the leading non-English goal scorer. Who's the leading English goal scorer?
Alan Shearer 3:50
How many do you know? Is he, I don't know, is he around about 200 or just under?
Gary Lineker 3:57
193 goals. I mean, what a player he's been. Obviously, he's coming to the end, isn't he? Well, presuming Premier League football, I'd be surprised if he moved to another Premier League club at the end of the season. He's nice as well.

What strategies do Alan and Micah use in the quiz?

Gary Lineker 4:08
The last couple of games, he scored a couple as well, but he's been one of the greats, hasn't he?
Alan Shearer 4:14
Absolutely, yeah. One of the greats. what he's done for Liverpool, the number, the importance of his goals and how regular he's been. He's been phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal, yeah.
Gary Lineker 4:26
And you used to be his taxi driver, Michael.
Micah Richards 4:29

Gary Lineker 4:29
You couldn't possibly envisage the career that he would have and the magical moments he's had.
Micah Richards 4:34
Liverpool God he scored some great goals as well hasn't he not only a lot of them you know what I know it sounds ridiculous I still think he can score a lot of goals in the Premier League because if you look at the chances that he's had and he didn't have the fallout with slot I still think he can still because he's always in the right position I think when you look at his position now obviously plays right at the three up front and
