Episode 9,   Jan 05, 2018, 04:34 PM

This week on The Back Page podcast, host Shane Stapleton is joined by Robert Hynes and Pat Nolan from The Irish Mirror, Kristian Walsh from the Liverpool Echo and Ladbrokes betting expert Shane Mahon.

On the agenda is this weekend's FA Cup action, including the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton at Anfield and the meeting of Manchetser United and Derby County at Old Trafford.

We also look ahead to the rearranged Welsh National, which was postponed on December 27. With conditions set to be fairly bad at Chepstow, the panel pick out some runners who will relish the heavy ground.

PRO14 action is again up for debate, with Leinster facing Ulster and Munster hosting Connacht at Thomond Park and we also look at the betting for the BDO Darts.
