Are Man City title favourites if they sign Semenyo? Is Unai Emery the PL's best manager?

Are Man City title favourites if they sign Semenyo? Is Unai Emery the PL's best manager?

Author: Sky Sports December 29, 2025 Duration: 34:37
Tom White and Jamie O’Hara react to reports that Antoine Semenyo’s representatives are in Manchester to finalise a deal, with Bournemouth’s £65m release clause in focus. Would a January move make Manchester City title favourites? City fan Aston believes it would be a huge signing.

The focus then shifts to Aston Villa’s stunning form. Eleven straight wins leave Unai Emery’s side just three points behind Arsenal ahead of their trip to the Emirates, with Jamie hailing Emery as the league’s second-best manager behind Pep Guardiola.

Next, we look at Arsenal’s win over Brighton to return to the top of the Premier League and ask whether, after another incredible save, David Raya is the best goalkeeper in the league.

We then turn to Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s impressive form and ask whether it puts him in contention for an England call-up ahead of the World Cup.

We finish with Florian Wirtz—and, joined by Liverpool fan Sarah, ask whether he has finally stepped up in Mohamed Salah’s absence.
