James Richardson is joined by James Dart, Barry Glendenning and John Ashdown on your Easter Monday edition of Football Weekly.

We begin by looking back on the weekend’s action, as Chelsea returned to the top of the Premier League against a tired-looking Manchester United. Will the Red Devils’ game with Bayern Munich in the Champions League also end in defeat?

In the fight for fourth, Manchester City obliterated hopeless Burnley, while Tottenham Hotspur came unstuck at Sunderland, and Liverpool blew two points away to Birmingham City (did you see the look Steven Gerrard shot at Rafael Benítez when Fernando Torres was substituted? Ouch). Can the Reds save their season against Benfica in the Europa League on Thursday? Probably not.

In the relegation fight, West Ham United ended their run of six consecutive defeats with a point at Everton. Who’s got more stomach for the scrap – the Hammers (yes, we’re looking at you, Mido) or Hull City?

Finally, Sid Lowe looks ahead to Barcelona’s big week, which involves the visit of Arsenal and then, in all likelihood, the title-deciding derby with Real Madrid, while there are also honourable mentions in the pod for Stevenage Borough, Scunthorpe, and our Italian friend, the Calciopoli scandal, which has reared its head once again.

We’re back as usual on Thursday, but in the meantime, share your Easter spirit on the blog below. We’re also on Facebook, Twitter, and iTunes, and there’s more occasional hilarity with our tea-timely email, The Fiver.
