Summary

Dan Bardell and George Elek are joined by the Athletic's Tim Spiers for a look at the pick of the Premier League fixtures this weekend, there's the Merseyside derby on Saturday lunchtime which should feature the returning Darwin Nunez, and could see new signings debut for both teams. Chelsea made a late move for Aubameyang, will he come straight in against West Ham and make an impact? Plus there's a look at Aston Villa v Manchester City, a daunting prospect for under pressure Steven Gerrard. All that plus Man United v Arsenal, and the increasingly beleaguered Brendan Rodgers takes his Leicester side to high flying Brighton Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Athletic Dan Bardell here with you alongside George Ellick and Tim Spears

we've had a full-rounded midweek games we've had a busy transfer deadline

0:21.3

day but the Premier League just does not rest we go

0:24.0

again tomorrow with another massive weekend now gents before we look at the

0:28.2

weekends games let me start by asking you both that killer question I mean this isn't a great one who won the

0:33.6

transfer window because I think Villa have won a lot of the windows in recent years

Addrisig Gay who I don't think would have gone to everything unless he had a form of connection with the club.

1:20.9

In terms of James Garner, they've got a

player who I'm amazed Manchester United to let go given the talent that he's got.

1:26.6

I think in Neil Mopay, they've got a striker who offers something completely different

and is a very, very good pickup for the level and you know they managed to keep hold of
