We’re back for the new season with an extended episode of The Game Podcast from The Times.
We start by looking at the big striker signings - which club has got the best deal for their new frontman and which one will hit the ground running? (00:00)
Chelsea have lost a number of key players and they’ve not yet replaced all of them. Despite signing Raheem Sterling, is their squad weaker than last season? (23:11)
It’ll be a big season for Manchester United and Erik ten Hag. Do they have any chance of breaking back in to the top four? (33:53)
Which team is the team to watch out for this season? Who’ll surprise us in 2022/23? (42:30)
Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest are back in the top flight, some have been away longer than others. What does the season have in store for the newly-promoted clubs and which is the best bet to stay up? (55:32)
We’re a week in to the EFL season and already Burnley have impressed a lot of people. Which sides have stood out to us so far? (68:27)
We end with our predictions for the upcoming season. Which will come true? You’ll have to check back at the end of May! (75:42)
