This week delivers one of the biggest football debates of the season alongside crucial Fantasy Premier League decisions as the title race tightens. Jermaine Jenas and Jermaine Pennant react to Arsenal’s costly dropped points against Wolves and Brentford, questioning whether this latest wobble has handed the Premier League title momentum back to Manchester City. With City potentially just two points behind and Arsenal still to travel to the Etihad, the pressure is firmly on. On the Fantasy Premier League side, the lads review Gameweek 26 scores, wildcard strategies and the growing trend of selling Erling Haaland to redistribute funds across midfield. Cole Palmer captaincy, Arsenal defensive picks and rogue striker options like Strand Larsen are all analysed. With Spurs fighting relegation under a new manager and Arsenal entering crunch time, the title race and FPL decisions are more intertwined than ever.
