The new Premier League season is fast approaching! Sam Matterface is joined by talkSPORT's Chief Football Correspondent Alex Crook and our summer signing Troy Deeney to preview the season at the top and bottom of the table. Can anyone topple champions Arsenal? They are the only team of the traditional top sic to retain their manager so can Mikel Arteta become just the fourth manager to retain the Premier League title? Will Chelsea be one of their closest contenders? Troy tells us why their punt on Xabi Alonso is something he's excited to see unfold How will City cope without Pep Guardiola, and potentially Rodri? How long will it take Liverpool to get used to Iraola? And will Spurs back up their big spending summer by finishing above 17th? Plus, we ask if the promoted trio can follow in the footsteps of last seasons promoted sides by remaining in the league, and we give you our comprehensive pre season predictions! • Instagram: @talkSPORT • Twitter: @talkSPORT • YouTube • Website Hosted on Acast.
