Summary

Dan Bardell and George Elek are joined by the Athletic's Tim Spiers for the first preview show of the season, and on the eve of another Premier League campaign they start by looking at the big narratives that may define the 9 months ahead. Are we set for another two-horse title race between Man City and Liverpool? Can any of the chasing pack close the gap and could that team be Antonio Conte's Tottenham? Could Newcastle barge their way in to the big six and make it seven? Plus there's a look at the relegation candidates, how we expect new boys Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest to fare, and with things seemingly not being well at Leicester could Brendan Rodgers be a surprise candidate for first manager to be sacked?
