0:00.0	This is The Guardian.
0:12.7	Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly.
0:14.7	Premier League returns with Super Red Super Sunday or whatever we're going to call it.
0:18.3	Liverpool on a three-game losing run at home to who knows what you'll get, Manchester United. Slot has some big decisions in trying to find the right balance. While a win for United, we'll put them within two points of the champions. Czech's league table can't be right but is. Elsewhere, how long left for Ange's Forrest against Chelsea in the early Saturday kickoff? Clearly a manager needs more time to implement a new style, but that's not how it. Rackett's Maranakis works. Sean Dyche watching on eagerly. Arsenal have a great chance to extend their lead at the top of the table as they go to Arsenal reserves at Craven Cottage. Bournemouth is the battle of the two most sore-turf for managers in the division. It's unlikely, but Spurs could end the weekend top of the league. Wolves go to Sunderland in the search of their first win it's Parker versus Farker, that turf more. For those of you worried, we'd lost our mind

1:22.3	Hi, Max.
1:23.0	And hello, Ben Fisher.
1:24.0	Hi, Max.
1:24.8	Let's begin with a Premier League preview then.
1:28.5	It's always nice to have it back, even though this international break with quite a fun one.
1:32.1	Super Sunday is Liverpool, Manchester United.
1:34.7	It is very, I mean, it's always a big game, and it always feels cliche to say, but this
1:39.4	time it is a really big game, but it feels quite significant for both these teams.
1:43.6	It is obviously always a big game, but it feels quite significant for both these teams. It is obviously always a big
1:45.7	game and I thought before I delved into it that Manchester United's record against Liverpool
1:53.7	was quite good, but it isn't. Liverpool have only lost one of their last 14 Premier League games against Manchester United.
