Finally, at last! A whole... couple weeks later the Premier League returns. We go in depth on where teams will fall at the top and at the bottom of the upcoming campaign. Plus, we look at Messi's U-turn, and the state of Barcelona going into a new La Liga season.
Part 1
Normally the Community Shield, the traditional curtain raiser that kick starts a new season, happens one week before the first league game of a new campaign. It can be a chance to see new signings, maybe a new managers’ first game. Instead, in this bizarre year, it was followed by an international break for some reason?
Hello and welcome to the Total Football podcast. I am your host Declan Harte, and joining me for this our Premier League 2020/21 season preview is Andrew Conway
Andrew, why must the football calendar always be such an organisational mess?
Part 2
So let’s look at the lay of the land of the 20 teams that sit before us. We’re about to get into our predictions for the year ahead, don’t worry we have the spreadsheet at the ready. But first, what are your hopes and expectations for this new season?
Well let’s get cracking on our predictions…
Part 3
On our last episode we caught the breaking news that Lionel Messi had handed in a legal document to say that he wished to leave the club. It’s been a crazy two weeks since, but last Friday the Argentine announced in an exclusive interview with Goal.com that he would be staying at the club… for now. Is this story over, or are there more twists and turns to come?
Part 4
Well it’s a new season and thus we have some games to look ahead to. To kick it all off, Arsenal host newly re-promoted Fulham. But the big game on Saturday evening sees Leeds United’s first Premier League game since 2004 and they take on champions Liverpool. How do we see these games going?
