Summary

Well, we're all systems go on the Premier League, which begins in earnest this Friday as Arsenal take on newcomers Brentford in the curtain-raiser. We're here to take a look at just how we think things are going to pan out this season - from title contenders to survival hopefuls, European dreamers to mid-table slumpers and everything else you might need to know. Sam breaks the table down into five clusters, before we discuss how we think the Top Four will shake out. And, given the new season has begun, there's just enough time for the return of Melon of the Week, where a certain card-happy pre-season referee takes the first Melon of 21/22, and a Gibberish Ranking, where Sam raises the three changes he would make to improve the Olympic Games. It's Ranks! If you want to join our FPL League ahead of the new season, the link is here.

0:38.1	wipe down the plastic chairs and let us thrive reunited in the hearts, wild affairs. So what's
0:42.9	the deal? Who's in charge and who will be top dog? Welcome to the preview show to all the
