Team News: West Ham have granted Ukrainian winger Andriy Yarmolenko compassionate leave so that he misses the Wolves visit.

Will Conte last the season? Should we hire Rangnick? More Carabao Cup and Everton vs Man City preview

In the latest Football Essential podcast, host Ron Walker is joined by the Sky Sports Features Editor Adam Bate and digital football journalist Declan Olley ahead of the first domestic cup final of the season – and there’s a lot going on in the Premier League too.

FIRST PART | What did Antonio Conte mean with his comments about his future, and where did it all go wrong? Was Ralf Rangnick right to criticize Man Utd players when praising Anthony Elanga, and is he doing a better job than credited to?

PART TWO | Is there any hope for Everton against Manchester City on Saturday, following the Premier League leaders’ loss to Spurs last week? Plus, we discuss why City’s criticism of their lack of a No.9 may miss the mark, and how worried Frank Lampard should be about the Toffees’ relegation fight.

PART THREE | The Carabao Cup final – for whom is this game more important? Has the depth of the Liverpool team exceeded that of Chelsea, and not only thanks to Luis Diaz? What about Romelu Lukaku – and can Kai Havertz steal his place?
