Man City Eyes Maresca as Pep’s Successor | How much is Mainoo worth?

Tom White and Jay Bothroyd discuss Arsenal’s updated injury list, as Mikel Arteta speaks to the media ahead of the Everton game on the sixth anniversary of his appointment. 

We then assess Enzo Maresca’s situation at Chelsea amid reports that he is high on Manchester City’s list of potential successors to Pep Guardiola. We’re joined by Manchester City fan Matthew, who agrees with Jay that there are better alternatives, with Vincent Kompany and Luis Enrique top of the list.

Next up, we ask if Liverpool and Arne Slot have been helped by the way the Salah situation was smoothed over against Brighton. With a huge game against Tottenham on the horizon, Jay feels Slot has managed it expertly.

Finally, we look at Kobbie Mainoo’s lack of game time under Ruben Amorim and ask what would now represent a fair price for the Manchester United midfielder. United fan Hannah joins us and believes his reduced minutes this season have lowered his value from what could have been the £100m mark eighteen months ago.

Watch us live, Monday to Friday, 10am until Midday on Sky Sports News or listen to the podcast as soon as we come off air.
