| 0:32.6 | Welcome in to latest edition of ESPN FC. We're on the road. We're outside Wembley Stadium ahead of Manchester City against Chelsea in the FA Cup final. We'll talk about that later. Craig Robbo and Nadom, though, are here as we watched Ashton Villa against Liverpool together. What an exciting first half of football. It was dire, opening 45 minutes, but it would be Villa who would take a 1-0 lead going into the break. Morgan Rogers opening the scoring. Liverpool would equalise early on in the second half and Dyke making it 1-1. But once Villa made it 2-1, it was only Villa who was on the attack. Liverpool looks so vulnerable in defence. A lovely goal from John McGinn with top things off, |

| 2:03.3 | summer and we were here for the Community Shield when they got beat by Crystal Palace, |
| 2:07.8 | but it was all new players and you thought, well, they're bedding in and it's going to take |
| 2:11.2 | time to that back four to walk together, it's going to take time for Florian Vils, it's |
| 2:15.4 | going to take time for Hugo Ekateke and Alexander Azac, |
| 2:18.6 | but they're going to be the team to beat. |
| 2:21.5 | And he's taking a team that were, |
| 2:24.7 | a club that spent a lot of money in the summer, |
