| 0:02.8 | Hello, I'm Dan Bardell and welcome to the weekend preview on the Athletic Football Podcast, sponsored by Bet365. |
| 0:26.0 | Slightly different this week as we're in the midst of the first Premier League break of the new season, |
| 0:30.7 | which just means there's plenty of international football to talk about as well. |
| 0:35.0 | And as usual, I've got my co-host, George Ellick, and Steve Freight of |
