Ben is joined by Tom, Alex Batt of GiveMeSport and Billy Grant of Beesotted Brentford to discuss the return of the Premier League season, and what we can expect from the opening round of fixtures.
The Premier League is back!
First round of fixtures include some tasty ones – including Brentford vs Arsenal as the opener
What can we expect from these teams this season?
Billy – tell us about Brentford.
Good manager, exciting squad. First time back in the top division since 1993.
Not played Liverpool since 1989
Impressive to lose a playoff final in 2020 and immediately come up again in 2021.
Can they emulate Leeds’ success story last season and finish comfortably mid table?
What about Thomas Frank – has quite a good reputation – how good of a manager is he?
Arsenal
Incoming signings include Ben White from Brighton and Nuno Tavares from Benfica.
Will Arsenal go forwards or backwards this season? I have a sneaky feeling they could be dark horses
But if it doesn’t go well, I can’t see Arteta lasting the season
Other PL fixtures:
Tottenham vs City – City lost the community shield at the weekend and didn’t look brilliant – but were missing players
Will Kane stay or go? Spoke publicly about the ‘missing training’ story earlier this week
Season predictions from the guests – champions, top 4, relegated
