Welcome back to the GegenPod! David Weiner is joined by Michael Bridges, Mark Schwarzer and Thomas Sorensen for a huge preview to get you in the mood for the 2021-22 campaign.

We go into great depth over the title race, and ask the key questions about those clubs knocking on the top four door, or at risk of going down.
