'My dad always wanted me to sign for Everton!'

We move into the final six weeks of the Premier League season, and Phil Kitromilides, Jay Bothroyd and Michael Bridges return for a big weekend preview:

• Bridgey tells us why he loved playing at Goodison Park, and how he and his old man were 'gutted' he never got the chance to play for the Toffees - and why Liverpool fans loved him!
• After a massive mid-week win for the Magpies, Aston Villa and Newcastle United clash in a huge fixture that could determine Champions League spots
• Spurs host Forest in a match which may or may not have a telling impact on Ange Postecoglou's tenure at the London club.
• Results allowing, Liverpool could seal the title!
• It's a COMPELLING weekend of football you cannot miss!

The guys also discuss Mo Salah's new contract at Liverpool and whether or not Alexander Isak will be leaving Newcastle this summer.

'Newcastle have had a brilliant exceptional season!'

Some mouthwatering fixtures sit ahead of us this weekend in the Premier League, and you can see them all on Optus Sport! Mark Schwarzer is joined by Phil Kitromilides and Julien Laurens to preview a few picks of the matches:

• Manchester City and Crystal Palace meet at the Etihad, with a stagnating City and rising Palace promising one of the most open contests in the history of these two clubs!
• The lads try and decide whether brilliant or exceptional is the better adjective, as Newcastle host Manchester United!
• If you had Alexander Isak and Rasmus Hojlund on offer for your club, which would you take?
• Bournemouth and Fulham meet at Vitality Stadium in a match which could mean a European run for one side.
