The Nutmeg: Premier League top four race, Fulham’s transformation and Tottenham’s fearsome forwards

Welcome to another edition ofThe Nutmeg, the Evening Standard’s weekly football talk show.

Reporters Dan Kilpatrick, Simon Collings, Jack Rosser and Malik Ouzia discuss the latest weekend Premier League action and all the biggest storylines on the London scene.

The race for a top-four finish is heating up with - Manchester City aside - as many as seven more teams battling for three Champions League qualification places... and we take a look at who will make the grade.

At the other end of the table, Fulham pulled off a famous 1-0 win over champions Liverpool to further boost their hopes of beating the drop. Scott Parker’s side look a team transformed, so where has it all gone right for the Cottagers?

And last but not least, we assess the partnership between Harry Kane and Gareth Bale - and whether that will be enough to secure Champions League football for Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham as they prepare for next weekend’s north London derby against Arsenal.
