The Evening Standard's sports team takes over the podcast ahead of an extraordinary weekend of football. The Premier League kicks off without Harry Kane after Tottenham agreed a £100

million deal with Bayern Munich. Meanwhile pressure's growing on Mikel Arteta at Arsenal following the club's multi-million pound player buys in the pre-season.  

And in Australia, England face Columbia in the quarter finals of the Women's World Cup. But they'll have to do it without Lauren James who was sent off in their last 16 game against Nigeria. 

This episode is hosted by our chief football correspondent Dan Kilpatrick with the Evening Standard's Nizaar Kinsella in London and Simon Collings reporting from Australia.
