It’s that time of year again! The axe has fallen on West Ham’s Julien Lopetegui and Everton’s Sean Dyche, with both clubs teetering above the relegation zone. So far, one confirmed replacement (as of recording) sees former Chelsea and Brighton boss Graham Potter stepping in to take charge at the London Stadium. Will more heads roll as managers face the dreaded ‘sack row’? On the pitch, the gang dives into the EFL Cup semi-finals, previews this weekend’s FA Cup third-round clashes, and shines a spotlight on the ethics of exhibition matches in Saudi Arabia. All this and more on this episode of Just For Kicks!
