    Can De Zerbi Save Spurs? Saka Disrespected & Salah All-Time Debate | The Overlap Fan Debate

    2026/04/03 | 1h 35 mins.
    Welcome back to another episode of the Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.

    In this episode, former Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given joins Jamie Carragher on the sofa alongside some of the biggest fan channels in the country to talk all things football.

    We begin with the title race, which is heating up as we approach a blockbuster end to the Premier League season. Can Manchester City catch Arsenal, or will the Gunners finally get the job done?

    Attention then turns to the bottom of the table, with Spurs edging closer to the drop. The club have turned to Roberto De Zerbi to try and save their season, but can he turn things around?

    We also hear from West Ham and Aston Villa, who still have everything to play for. The Hammers remain in the relegation battle, while Villa continue their push for Champions League qualification.

    Liverpool and Manchester United are next under the spotlight. Where does Mo Salah rank among the Premier League’s all-time greats, and would a call from Luis Enrique be too good to turn down at Old Trafford?

    Looking ahead, the panel discuss the FA Cup and who could lift the trophy, before turning to Scotland as fans from Hearts, Celtic and Rangers join the debate with the SPL race going down to the wire.
