Number 1: Last-gasp Liverpool take a point, after shock defeats for Villa + Man Utd
The Totally crew are live after the first Super Sunday of the new Premier League season. Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Duncan Alexander and Colin Millar react to a stunning Matchday 1. The Totally crew are live after the first Super Sunday of the new Premier League season. Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Duncan Alexander and Colin Millar react to a stunning Matchday 1. After selling all their best players, Newcastle lead Liverpool twice before a stoppage time spot-kick from Dominik Szoboszlai. After selling all their best players, Aston Villa find themselves 4-0 down after half an hour at Brighton. Have the club left Unai Emery too much to do? Everyone’s favourites for relegation - Hull City - shock Man United with a thoroughly deserved 2-0 victory. How worried should Carrick and co be? And with Ipswich winning too, might pre-season pessimism about the promoted clubs be misplaced? And after a record-breaking summer, it looked like the same old Spurs who were thrashed by brilliant Brentford on Saturday, with Roberto De Zerbi saying Tottenham aren’t a team yet. Plus there are victories for last season’s top two as Arsenal cruise past Coventry and Man City stage a dramatic late comeback in Enzo Maresca’s first game in charge.

Number 2: Fernandes on fire for United as Chelsea show title credentials?
It’s an LA reunion as Jimbo, Tom Williams, Tim Spiers and Felipe Cardenas react to Matchday 2 in the Premier League. Having lost at Hull, Man United went behind to Ipswich at Old Trafford. But then Bruno Fernandes got involved with the first hat-trick of this PL season. Did the Red Devils get lucky with their second goal though? Xabi Alonso’s Chelsea look to be the most entertaining side in the division as they make it two wins out of two by beating Brighton 4-3. Could Palmer, Pedro and co lead a title charge for the Blues? It’s been a record-breaking window but two defeats out of two for Spurs. They lose at home again to resurgent Newcastle. Roberto De Zerbi looks to be getting another new player in the form of Iliman Ndiaye. Andoni Iraola is still awaiting his first Liverpool win but his side come from behind twice again to rescue a point against Forest. And what’s going on at Everton? Ndiaye is out. Richarlison is in. Armstrong is out, then in. Will there be fan fury come Deadline Day?

Number 4: Can Villa do a Villa against Arsenal?
After a stunning Matchday 1, will we see more shocks in the Premier League this weekend? Jimbo’s joined by Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Liam Twomey in the studio ahead of Matchday 2. Following that humbling at Brighton last weekend, and more players leaving and arriving, can Villa do what they normally do and bring their best when champions Arsenal turn up to Villa Park? Liverpool welcome Forest to Anfield and also welcome Bradley Barcola to Anfield. Will he be worth the money and how does he fit into Andoni Iraola’s side? Chelsea face Brighton after having an impressive week - beating Fulham with their fancy front three, possibly solving their keeper problem and managing to sell Liam Delap for big money to Forest. Tottenham and Tonali take on Newcastle after more big business in the transfer market. Are Spurs spending too much without human handbrake Daniel Levy in the way? We also discuss Liam’s stag trip to Elland Road, a humiliating night for Celtic and the statistical significance of Man United v Ipswich.
