About this episode

Sportsworld's Lee James is joined by the former Arsenal, West Ham and Wolves striker Jeremie Aliadiere, the Reading and England striker Natasha Dowie, and the Independent's chief football writer Miguel Delaney to look ahead to the new Premier League season. The panel discuss how the winter World Cup in Qatar will impact on the season, how Manchester City and Liverpool will evolve with their two new number nines, and whether big spenders Spurs can put up a genuine title challenge. We'll hear from Sadio Mane on his decision to leave Anfield, from Martin Odegaard on Arsenal's hopes for the new season, and from Raphael Varane on having no regrets on swapping Madrid for Manchester.
