Three beers down - on a Premier League bench!

Former Socceroo Luke Wilkshire; Scotland international, Premier League and Scottish Premier League midfielder Gavin Rae and Ashley Westwood, a former Manchester United graduate with over 400 appearances in English league football, join David Weiner for another episode of Optus Sport's GegenPod. After Liverpool's draw with West Ham, the panel look at the latest twist and turns in the Premier League title race, why Liverpool have dropped points, what will play the biggest factor in the race with Manchester City and whether or not Tottenham are a genuine part of that mix. There's an emotional, passionate reaction to the #SaveHakeem campaign, plus discussion on Marcus Rashford and Manchester United's future, Burnley's streak to escape relegation, Huddersfield's dire reality, Marek Hamsik's sudden Naples departure, Maurizio Sarri's tenure at Chelsea and a look ahead to the UEFA Champions League resuming next week. Jamie Maclaren's return home from Scotland to the A-League as well as Markus Babbel's comments about the hunger of his Western Sydney Wanderers players sparks an engaging conversation about the motivation and mentality of the modern footballer: is this a problem in Australia, or across the globe? There's also some great yarns from the trios' playing days - including the day one of our panelists thought they'd been dropped, joined their mates for a drink, then played 20 minutes in a Premier League game!
