The Premier League season kicks off tomorrow - so we thought we’d convene some of the Match of The Day gang early and welcome Alan Shearer back onto the podcast. We’ll talk title race, Alexander Isak, and more with the Premier League’s all-time record goalscorer.

And it's not all about the clubs at the top - former Premier League boss Chris Wilder will join us in the studio for an insight into the challenge facing the likes of Sunderland, Leeds and Burnley this year - can any of them buck the trend of the last couple seasons and actually survive relegation? 

Wilder got Sheffield United promoted to the Premier League and managed a ninth place finish in his first season in the top league, but he's since tried to keep them up in two different seasons and both times they were eventually relegated. He almost got the Blades promoted again last season but lost in the final minutes of the playoff final before being sacked.
