The Premier League is back and so too are Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Benji Lanyado.

England qualify for Euro 2024 after dismantling Italy. With Jude Bellingham in this form, should England be going all the way?

Italy’s issues go beyond defeat at Wembley with Sandro Tonali among many investigated for gambling on illegal platforms.

The Merseyside derby kicks off the Premier League weekend, plus we’ve got the first ever meeting of Pochettino and Arteta and footballing purists collide with Guardiola versus De Zerbi.

Plus Haaland’s lasagne, Kingsley Black’s charcuterie and the expected league table.
