    Sam Matterface outlined talkSPORT's coverage plans for Sunday during the first half of tonight's commentary. Georgie Bingham will be presenting Sunday Exclusive (he didn't say where from, which may indicate that she will be studio-based as usual), with Nigel Adderley, Ray Parlour and Robbie Fowler being their team at Manchester City v Chelsea, while Sam, Stan Collymore and Matt Holland will be at Wembley for the Capital One Cup Final.

    Hosting from Wembley I believe, with Ian Abrahams as reporter.

    talkSPORT has produced a documentary about the League Cup Final between Bradford and Swansea.....
    talkSPORT has produced a fascinating documentary about the Capital One Cup final between Bradford City and Swansea City on Sunday. The programme, A Tale of Two Cities, will be aired in three parts at 9.30am on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

    It will take an in-depth look at the histories of both teams over the past decade and their very different journeys to the final.

    Guests include current Swansea player Leon Britton, ex-Swansea managers Brendan Rodgers and Kenny Jackett, ex-Bradford players Stuart McCall, Dean Windass and Stan Collymore plus Paul Jewell, who used to manage the team. We will also hear all the latest from the current squads.

    The documentary will be voiced by two presenters from UTV Media (GB) local stations: Kev Johns from Swansea Sound and Kevin Foster from the Pulse in West Yorkshire.

    talkSPORT will also broadcast full and uninterrupted commentary of the match. The Sunday Exclusive, hosted by Georgie Bingham and Robbie Fowler, will kick off at 12pm. The show will feature a build up to the big match with special guests and then commentary from Sam Matterface and Stan Collymore from Wembley Stadium.

    Thanks, Georgie hosted both games of their double header on League Cup Final day from Wembley Stadium last season so this is what I was expecting. It isn't a great surprise either that Ian Abrahams is on pitchside reporting duty, some of his best work for talkSPORT has been at Cup and Play-Off Finals as he's very adept at talking to fans on Wembley Way pre-match and then collaring players on the pitch immediately after the final whistle.

    I would have liked to have seen talkSPORT's regional correspondents who regularly cover the clubs involved - in this case John Temple and Roger Hughes - being involved as well, as has been the case on their coverage of this final in recent seasons. Given that both team's local commercial radio partners are UTV Radio-owned, perhaps they might be involved as reporters on Pulse and Swansea Sound's respective commentaries.

    The broadcast hasn't been uploaded to the iPlayer but going by Twitter, Conor McNamara and Kevin Gallacher commentated on Leeds United v Blackpool. So it was another occasion when Radio 5 Live Sports Extra produced their own commentary on a Football League game rather than taking the BBC Local Radio commentary for the home club, which had been the common thing they were doing during the first half of the year.

    It did. The same thing happened in the Maritimo game and in Bruges. Not sure if Radio Newcastle has bad luck or terrible equipment.

    No idea who hosted the emergency studio coverage. Its the same guy who did it for the other 2 games as well. Never gives his name. Wasn't Raisbeck, Pryde or Emmerson who are the 'Sports presenters'

    BBC Radio Leeds don't have the rights for Leeds Utd. They would have had to use Radio Lancashire's Blackpool coverage

    According to 5Live website, there's a 606 on Tuesday at 10, the presenter(s) aren't listed, I wonder if this is just an admin error as they haven't had a midweek edition for the last 2 seasons.

    Unless it's
    a) Some sort of special edition
    b) Tony Livesey for some reason can't start till 11 and it's being used as a filler
