The opening weekend hasn’t even finished and Ken already wants to walk back Thursday’s top four predictions. Is he getting carried away by one 90-minute Newcastle demolition job? The next couple of games will tell us a lot. 

 

We talk about the continued transfer frenzy as Chelsea aim to follow up their signing of Moises Caicedo by adding Romeo Lavia – who Liverpool have forlornly gone back to – and, it says here, Michael Olise.

 

Rich Jolly and Jack Pitt-Brooke join us to talk about the opening weekend. Do Chelsea have just the right type of squad to bring the best out of Mauricio Pochettino? Can anyone understand how Chelsea can afford what they’re doing? And how do Spurs really feel about selling Harry Kane to Bayern?
