Nick and Taylor return their focus to domestic play across Europe, where two title races are coming down to the wire and where multiple top four/ top six battles for European placements are raging. The duo begins in the Premier League, where they analyze Man City's relentless resurgence back to the top of the English league at Arsenal's despair. They then discuss the circus of Chelsea and the dumpster fire at Tottenham, as both London sides remain without permanent managers and have produced a run of abysmal form. Potential managers are discussed for both sides, including the likes of Luis Enrique, Julian Nagelsmann, and Mauricio Pochettino. 

Our European football experts then turn to Serie A, where the most prolific top four/ top six battle for Champions League and Europa League qualification are shaping up. They examine the schedules, injuries, and run of form for Inter, Atalanta, Roma, Milan, Juventus, Fiorentina, and Lazio, as nearly every aforementioned side has multiple routes into European competitions next season. They discuss which sides are most likely to win their respective European tournaments and which sides are better slated to finish in the top four outright.

Then, the duo examine the final matches in the Bundesliga, where Bayern and Dortmund remain locked-in for an exciting title race that remains truly unpredictable (due to both sides being in tragic form). Additionally, they predict which sides will finish in the top four and which sides will barely miss out, settling for Europa League.

La Liga then receives addition for how boring things have shaped up to be in Spain, where the title winner and the top four candidates appear to be confirmed early.

Finally, the two predict which sides will advance to the European Finals, as the first legs of the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League Semifinals kick off next week!
