On tonight’s Of the Ball Jason McAteer is talking to us about the big news of the weekend’s football - Liverpool going top of the Premier League. We’ll be talking to Jason about the sense of excitement around the club and the city, and just how different the Liverpool of April 2014 is to the Liverpool of the still very recent Hicks and Gillet years.

The Grand National is just days away now so that means there are thousands of you out there in need of a few tips and a bit o guidance to make your pick from the massive 40 horse field. We’ll have Donn McLean on the line later on to take a look ahead to Aintree.

Former Chelsea and Everton star Pat Nevin is speaking to us after half 7, looking at Chelsea’s borderline collapse in recent weeks and the disaster that has become Spurs and Tim Sherwood.

In GAA, we look back at a weekend of League action in hurling ad football and we’re speaking with the man who might be the saviour of Laois hurling , Seamus ‘Cheddar’ Plunkett.
