The Athletic Hello, I'm Dan Bardell and welcome to the weekend preview on the Athletic Football

Podcast sponsored by Bet 365. 365. On Fridays we're here to preview the best of the weekend's Premier League action and I've got

my co-host George Ellick and Bet 365 Steve Freeth alongside me here to help in George's case.

I'm not sure the reason why Steve is here.

He doesn't help me at all through this podcast.

How are you both?

I don't see you come back to that I think. Well yes, that I'm looking forward to the weekend and Chelsea's going a few goals hopefully.

Yes, I fear you might enjoy the Saturday tea time kick off a little bit more than I do Steve. George you

Erica? Yeah I'm okay I get a rare opportunity to actually go and watch my

football team play football on a Saturday. It feels like the more I work in

football the less chances I get to actually go and watch my team so

you're off to Oxford against Wickham Saturday 3 p.m. The glamatay I actually

earlier this week yeah big week I got offered a ticket

to go to Old Trafford to some Manchester United

Newcastle and I had to turn it down and fill in the knowledge

that if I'd accepted that and deserted my own side.

I'd have been probably one of the biggest hypocrites

in football.

So yeah, I've chosen the Kasam overall Trafford.

You've made the right decision.

I think if you'd have come on here and said the opposite I think we'd have booted you off the call off the podcast

I don't think that would have been acceptable at all the Premier League is back, but obviously there's been a fair bit of international football over the last 10 days or so.
