    Predicting Every Team's Finish in the 2026/27 Premier League

    Ted and Patrick rank the entire Premier League table from 1 to 20 ahead of the new season. They cover the relegation battle (Hull City, Sunderland, Coventry, Ipswich), a wide open mid-table (Fulham, Newcastle, Leeds, Everton, Crystal Palace, Forest, Brentford, Bournemouth), the Aston Villa vs Manchester United argument for 8th, Tottenham's defensive upgrade, Brighton's bounce-back case, and a genuine three-way title debate between Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea, with Manchester City on the outside looking in. They also break down how this summer's late transfer window action could still reshuffle these Premier League table predictions before kickoff.

    Fixing Liverpool's Back Line and Tottenham's Attack

    Neel and Patrick rebuild Liverpool's defence and Tottenham's attack, hunting for value signings that go beyond the obvious names. They dig into Liverpool's centre-back options behind an ageing Van Dijk, including Castello Lukeba, Ousmane Diomande and free agent wildcard Oumar Solet, before working through the full-back market on both flanks. Then it's over to Spurs, where the focus shifts to fixing the attack around Savinho and Nicolas Jackson, plus a handful of cheaper wide alternatives if the big names don't move.

    Why Eddie Howe Had to Leave Newcastle + Have Chelsea Changed Their Philosophy?

    Eddie Howe is out at Newcastle after five years, and Matthias Jaissle is the strong favourite to replace him. We break down what went wrong in his second season in charge, whether selling Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes actually suits the rebuild, and what Jaissle's tactical evolution at Al Ahli tells us about his fit in the Premier League. Then onto transfers: Real Madrid closing in on Diamond and what it means for Vinicius, Liverpool's interest in Ezri Konsa amid a shaky back line, and Chelsea bringing in Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson to steady the dressing room.
