On the podcast today; the Premier League returns and narrative fans couldn’t ask for a better game for Manchester City Liverpool (away), with the Reds so often the side City just pipped to the title. Even Enzo Maresca’s pre-match press conference might be worth watching, while it should be fascinating to see how the atmosphere at Anfield affects the City players.
Elsewhere, Southampton manager Tonda Ekhart received a suspended six-week suspended ban for Spygate – is that the right call? An enormous game at Old Trafford has struggling Manchester United take on bottom-placed Spurs. Can unbeaten Leeds do what Brighton did against Arsenal? And what reaction will Oliver Glasner get on his return to Palace with Nottingham Forest?
Nicky will tell us if Italy had a good international break and Paul Watson will tell us interesting stuff that’s passed us by while we read redacted legal reports. Oh, and there’s your questions answered.
