We then welcome our favorite recurring guest, Justin Lapointe, to talk about how Arsenal have been since his therapy session and how they look to line up against Liverpool. Josh and Mitch give their predictions for the match and Pat has a take that frankly everyone should be surprised by.

On this week's episode we kick things off by breaking down the last round of Premier League fixtures. Liverpool are off to a clean start in the league coming off a 3-0 victory against Crystal Palace, but their rivals Man City stumbled against S'hampton. In turn, the boys talk about City's need for a number nine, and if they are willing to break the bank for a player like Erling Haaland. 

Next, we discuss Liverpool's contract situation with Mo Salah, as he wants a contract that would most likely break Liverpool's current wage structure. 

After this, we tough on Manchester United and West Ham splitting games in the league and league cups, Brighton's foxy upset, and Villa's triumph over the Ev.

Then, we move over to Spain to talk about the dumpster fire that is FC Barcelona post Messi. Is Ronald Koeman on the hot seat already? 

Real Madrid and Atletico are flying and look to be the clear early favorites to win the Spanish top flight. 

Lastly, we do a European Round Table covering the following matches:

Chelsea vs Man City

Man Utd vs Aston Villa
