The Betway Insider

Chelsea might be six points clear at the top of the Premier League, but this isn't how manager Antonio Conte envisaged his side would play. That's according to ESPN senior writer Gabriele Marcotti, who joins host Tom Bowles and resident tipster Alan Alger in the studio to explain why Conte suspects that his 3-4-3 formation will eventually be sussed out, and how the Italian will shape his team in the future. Marcotti also discusses Pep Guardiola’s “mysterious miscalculation” at Manchester City, plus the rights and wrongs of Jurgen Klopp dropping Loris Karius and criticising Gary Neville. The journalist and author also reveals how he came to write 'Hail, Claudio!' – his recently-published biography of Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri – plus the five legends of the game who make up his Insider 5.
