Summary
It’s Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Carl Anka and Jay Harris in attendance ahead of another prestige Premier League weekend.
Arsenal host Man United with both clubs looking to avoid heading into the international break in mini-crisis. Will Havertz keep his place and how will ten Hag handle these injuries?
Liverpool v Aston Villa threatens to be the most exciting game of the weekend with a Moussa Diaby-inspired Villa against a depleted Liverpool backline. And on the other side of Merseyside, it’s an immediate scoring start for Beto at Everton.
Luton stage the first ever Premier League game at Kenilworth Road on Friday night against high-flying West Ham. We try not to patronise Hatters fan Alex Brodie of The Athletic.
And the panel enjoy the prospect of Ansu Fati to Brighton and try to wrap their heads around Cole Palmer to Chelsea.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
