Jimbo has Jack Lang, Tom Williams and Jay Harris for company in the studio as the Premier League returns.

It’s official - Pep Guardiola will be at Man City until at least the summer of 2026. Can that news wake City from their slumber as they host a Tottenham team with a new badge and an excellent record against Guardiola? Sam Lee has more.

A big weekend looms for Enzo Maresca who goes back to Leicester and Ruben Amorim who takes charge of Man United for the very first time, as they head to Ipswich.

Wales are promoted to the top tier of the Nations League in dramatic fashion, plus there’s more joy for the never any joy brigade.

And we remember one man and his umbrella on this day 17 years ago.

Produced by Charlie Jones.
