About this episode

Simon Jordan, Graeme Souness, Troy Deeney and Henry Winter get together for the final Three Up Front of 2024.

They discuss why Mo Salah has gone to the press about his future, what might be going through his mind as he decides what to do and how Liverpool will respond.

Manchester City’s disastrous form prompts the question: is this the biggest test of Pep Guardiola’s managerial career? They also debate which City players are in decline and ask why did Guardiola sign that new deal?

They also take stock of Manchester United’s first match under Ruben Amorim and give their thoughts on which players he will stick with and which will be on their bike and they revisit Simon, Troy and Graeme’s pre-season predictions. Who picked Nottingham Forest for the drop…?
