The World Cup is over. The flags have been put away. And after barely enough time to catch our breath… the Premier League is back.

In this episode, we preview the 2026/27 Premier League season — with champions Arsenal attempting to do it all over again, Manchester City entering a new era after Pep Guardiola, and the rest of the traditional heavyweights trying to work out how to stop them.

We look at the summer’s biggest transfers, managerial changes and World Cup stars returning to club football, before making the predictions that will almost certainly come back to embarrass us in May.

Can Arsenal retain their crown? Who will emerge from the chasing pack? Can Manchester United finally drag themselves back towards the top? And what chance do newly promoted Coventry, Ipswich and Hull have of surviving among the big boys?

Plus our title winners, top four, relegation picks, surprise packages and players to watch.

This is The Final Countdown — football history and nostalgia… with the occasional look at what might happen next.
