Football Weekly: Chelsea fun and Villa staring into the abyss

Barry Glendenning returns to the pod after his three-week absence and he joins AC Jimbo, Philippe Auclair and Steve Busfield for your latest fix of Football Weekly.

We begin by looking at the Premier League title race. With Manchester United's injuries mounting and Arsenal's goalkeeping problems lurching from crisis to comedy, is it now Chelsea's to lose?

At the bottom, we congratulate West Ham on their point against Spurs and wonder whether anything can stop the slide of Gérard Houllier's Aston Villa towards the Championship.

Finally, we glance towards the continent and James Horncastle tells us about Gennaro Gattuso's business venture and the four-way fight at the top of Serie A, while Sid Lowe explains why he thinks Sergio Agüero has come to the end of the road with Atlético Madrid.

Mr Zonal Marking Michael Cox is with us on Thursday for Football Weekly Extra, so post your questions for him - along with your feedback from today's show - on the blog below.
