Summary
Adam Leventhal and co return to preview the weekend of Premier League fixtures.
Headlining the weekend is Arsenal's trip to Newcastle, their first away game at a top-six team so far this season. Can Newcastle withstand the Gunners even without new signings Harvey Barnes and Sandro Tonali to call upon? Jacob Whitehead, the Athletic's Newcastle correspondent, is on hand to tell us.
Then it's a return to Tottenham for Mauricio Pochettino for the first time with a new club. Can his Chelsea team break out of their slump to shock the league leaders?
And finally, we discuss the race to the bottom, and whether Luton is the most likely to escape relegation this season.
Adam Leventhal hosts Nick Miller, Jacob Whitehead and Luke Bosher

| 0:03.2 | Hi there and welcome to the Athletic Football Podcast. |
| 0:06.0 | This is the weekend preview and it is Match Day 11 in the Premier League. |
| 0:10.8 | The So welcome along. Many thanks to Tim Spears for standing in on last week's show. I listened to that during my break whilst I was off. And two |
| 0:38.7 | things I just wanted to quickly point out. One was congratulations to Rubin Pinder. Three-0 prediction |
| 0:45.4 | on the Manchester Derby. He was bang on. The second thing I just wanted to just flag, it was suggested |
| 0:52.1 | by Tim that I spent my entire break watching episodes of |
| 0:56.3 | the repair shop. And I feel like we need to have a bit of a repair shop amnesty. We need to |
| 1:02.3 | stop talking about it. And I also need to confess to the fact that it isn't something that I watch. |
| 1:07.4 | So I just wanted to just try and just try and leave it, leave it alone. Let me introduce |
| 1:13.8 | my guests on this week's show. It is a warm welcome back to the big smoke to Jacob Whitehead, |
| 1:21.9 | who's been up in Newcastle, but you're now back in London and first time on the show. How are you? |
| 1:26.8 | I'm good. I'm good. I sort of feel a bit like a travelling footblow. He's been sent on loan for six months back to make their debut for kind of a full side. Yeah. So yeah, big day for me. Big day. Well, you've done some great work up in the northeast and now you can come back and, you know, set the capital alight with your work. It's fantastic. We'll reveal how little of kind of a wider |
| 1:44.9 | Premier League I've actually managed to follow since covering Newcastle. So there's a few things which |
| 1:49.8 | I am still lost on. So we'll hope. Yes. We will be talking about Newcastle. Luke Bosha is back |
| 1:57.1 | in, definitely back in Hipster Corner. This is an audio experience for everyone watching, |
| 2:03.5 | but boy oh boy, you have a snazzy sweater on. It's green, it's yellow, it's got basketball |
| 2:08.2 | written on it, and you look a million bucks, Boch. How are you? I'm very well, Adam. I don't |
| 2:13.4 | think I could ask for a warmer introduction. Delight to be sitting alongside Jacob, who makes me feel like a relative podcast veteran |
| 2:21.0 | of the athletic studio. |
| 2:23.2 | But excited. |
| 2:24.4 | Speaking of podcast veterans, it's Nick Miller. |
