Welcome to the Sky Sports Football podcast brought to you by Bet365, where every now biting nil-nil, every bizarre VAR, every foregone conclusion, bad pass, slam dunk, tap-in, full start, dead heat, and absolutely expected defeat is amazing.

From football to tennis and ice hockey to motorsport. Whatever the moment, it's

never ordinary at Bet 365.

Good morning. Welcome to the football show. Just nine days away now from the restart of the Premier League season. This morning, we're speaking to Aston Villa's women's sporting director,

Enioluku. We'll be off to Italy to chat to A.C. Milan's Azmead Begavich.

The Bundesliga with Alan McAnelly and a few stories from his time at Bayern Munich, as well as

having MERS on Monday. The two men who won't be going anywhere for the next couple of hours,

Andy Hinchcliffe and Matt Lettissia. Matt, just how much are you looking forward to the return? Nine days away now. Can you believe it?

Yeah, starting to get real now, mate. I mean, it's been a long three months. We know what it was

like when the season finished. He didn't get another game until August. And it's been a little bit

like that. So, yeah, the excitement started to build. And, Andy, you're working on the Villa Sheppelts United game, aren't you?

I know you're looking forward to that very much.

Yeah, I actually did, strangely, did the Villa Lester game, the last game before the pandemic

kind of shut football down.

So to be asked to do the first game back is a real privilege.

Again, getting down to Villa Park.

Okay, it's going to be strange.

It'll be strange circumstances with no fans there.

But football is back, which is wonderful news. Again, we've got nine days to go.

So fingers crossed, we get to the 17th. The football kicks off again.

Yeah, cannot wait.

Okay, well, let's get to Garron Hughes. Shall we look at the major talking points in football right now. Gary, good to see you. Powerful scenes in the Bundesliga
