On the podcast today: the panel catches up on all that’s happened in the Africa Cup of Nations as the tournament enters the semi-final stage. They break down the journey so far for each of the final four competing teams – Ivory Coast, DR Congo, Nigeria, and South Africa – and weigh up their chances of winning the tournament. Also, they ask the question: does a strong domestic league help a nation’s international team?

Elsewhere, Barry gets us up to speed with what’s going on in the Asian Cup as that too enters the semi-final stage. What are the chances of Son Heung-min returning to Spurs with some silverware?

Plus: the panel touches on Manchester City as they see off Brentford and the ‘Maupayverse’ in Monday night’s Premier League fixture.
