Plus, a look at some potential last-minute candidates sneaking into the awards conversations.

Just two weeks to go, and the CPL Shield race isn't settled — though it could be this weekend. On this week's Newsroom, Charlie O'Connor-Clarke breaks down how Forge FC could wrap up the title in matchweek 27. Plus, Mitchell Tierney offers some stats on just how good CPL teams have been at home this year, and why that's so important in the playoffs.

Finally, he and Alexandre Gangué-Ruzic offer up some players who could be sneaking their way into the awards conversations late in the season.

The CPL Newsroom presented by Volkswagen is available every week at YouTube.com/CPLSoccer, with the full show available in audio form on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
