Great for Premier League that there will be real jeopardy - Given
Published on Tuesday, 10 February 2026 at 11:24 pm

Mark Chapman welcomed Shay Given, Chris Sutton and Rory Smith to the latest edition of the Monday Night Club, where the panel dissected Manchester City’s dramatic late victory at Liverpool and weighed the ramifications for Arsenal and the wider Premier League title race. Given, the former Republic of Ireland goalkeeper, argued that the pulsating finish at Anfield keeps the competition alive and ensures genuine jeopardy for every contender. Sutton and Smith offered contrasting angles on whether the result tilts momentum toward City or keeps Arsenal firmly in the hunt, but all agreed the late twist adds tension to the run-in. With the championship picture still delicately poised, the studio debate centred on how one stoppage-time goal might reshape mind-sets across the league.
