Summary

IT’S ROG… and it’s the WGFOP Weekend Preview, presented by our good friends at PrizePicks.

It’s been a big week in the world of Everton, and Rog is back to talk about David Moyes’s appointment and first game in charge, before turning his attention to the Toffees’ game against turbulent Tottenham this weekend. Arsenal host Aston Villa this weekend, and Nottingham Forest host Southampton: Rog breaks down the main challengers to Liverpool in the title race. Then we turn our attention to Manchester City and Erling Haaland’s new nine-and-a-half year contract, and preview City’s clash with Ipswich on Sunday. Finally we celebrate Amad’s recent performances for Manchester United, and hear about one GFOP’s FA Cup trip of a lifetime.
