The Premier League is about to return and on the eve of season 25/26 Jasper and Wilbur are back to give you their predictions for what is about to unfold over the next nine months, while also giving their top picks from all the summer transfer window business as well.

After a brief euro summer hiatus, the show returns to the airwaves. Wilbur is still enjoying his European travels so in step Thomas Chalmers to provide some insight from the point of view from a Spurs fan for the first time in 40 Yard Switch history. 

Before beginning to talk all things Tottenham, however, they address the very serious topic of the charges against former Arsenal player Thomas Partey and how Arsenal handled the situation. 

Later in the show, Jasper and Tom reflect on Ange Postecoglu's sacking and his time at Tottenham, before looking ahead to what new manager Thomas Frank can look to build during his tenure at the helm of the Lilywhites. 

The fellas discuss the Championship playoff final and Sunderland's chances for survival next season, before reflecting on one of the most one sided Champions League finals in recent memory.

Then it's time for Jasper and Wilbur to each present their annual Premier League team of the season! Some of their choices might raise an eyebrow or two...

11:10 - Champions League Final
15:18 - Premier League Team of the Season

Wilbur and Woody return to talk all things cup finals this week. 

The lads discuss the immediate aftermath of the Europa League Final, and what it means for both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United moving forward.

They reflect on Crystal Palace's first every major trophy in the club's history and how Manchester City have been left trophy-less for the first season since Pep Guardiola's first in charge. 

Finally, theres a brief look ahead and a prediction for next week's men's Champions League Final between Inter Milan and PSG.

Jasper is joined once again by returning guest host and Aston Villa fan Liam Hall, to talk Champions League quarter-finals, as Villa bowed out in dramatic fashion while Woody's Arsenal marched on. 

The two discuss the performances from both their sides before looking ahead to the semi-finals.

The focus then switches to the final six games of the Premier League season, as Champions League spots look to be hotly contested right down to the final day. 

Each team from third to seventh in the table has differing strength of fixtures, and how could that all play out as the season winds to a dramatic finish.

Newcastle saw an end to a 70 year trophy drought when they defeated Liverpool 2-1 in the League Cup Final at Wembley. Wilbur and Woody reflect on the historic day for the Toon. 

They then turn their attentions to the the Premier League as the race for the top five spots and Champions League football is looking as it if it will come down to the wire. 

Speaking of the Champions League, with the draw for the quarter-finals all set, the boys go through each tie and give their predictions for how they might unfold. 

Wilbur returns to host along side Jasper once more and to talk all things Everton. His beloved Toffees have enjoyed a welcome resurgence since replacing Sean Dyche with Goodison Park icon David Moyes. 

Is it just new manager bounce or has the return of the figure that oversaw so many good years on Merseyside just what the doctor ordered for Evertonians?

Looking ahead to next season, is there hope for a return to the top half of the table as the new era in the Bramley Moore Dock stadium begins?

Milad Shariat's guest appearance last episode was so good he's earned himself a second start in as many weeks, while Liam Hall also returns to show to provide some third man runs.

Jasper and the boys begin the show by reacting to the conclusion of the UEFA Champions League group stage in its first season under the new format. They reflect on whether or not the new look UCL passed the vibe check, and on the surprising finishing places in the table of some big names in European football. 

The crux of the show shifts the focus back to the Premier League as, from first-placed Liverpool down to bottom-of-the-table Southampton, the lads discuss who the most crucial name on the team sheet is for each of the 20 top flight clubs. Some of the answers may shock you...

Joining the show this week is one of the more eloquent and level headed Manchester United fans, Milad Shariat.

He jumps in for a chat about yet another incredibly tough season for the Red Devils and the task the Ruben Amorim has ahead of him as he looks to build the squad in his image. 

There is also some brief discussion about Arsenal's struggles of late, before Woody and Milad finish by questioning the current implementation of the handball rule, after some head scratching decisions in recent weeks have left fans confused again by the seemingly ever changing stipulations of ball to hand/arm contact. 

It's 2025 and here at The 40 Yard Switch our New Years Resolution is to get back to posting weekly content for the fans, and it starts with this episode. 

The boys are back to discuss the breaking news of Julen Lopetegui's sacking by West Ham United, and the club's subsequent appointment of Graham Potter as its new manager. 

They also take a look at the other new managers that have been appointed so far this season for Leicester, Southampton and Wolves before moving on to Newcastle, who are enjoying a mid-season resurgence after a slow start.

Finally the conversation finishes with the fairytale story of this campaign so far, Nuno Espirito-Santo's third-placed Nottingham Forrest. Just how far can they go?
