Off the ball, breakfast. I thought you all liked Amram. You thought Amram looked good too. He also looked very well. I never liked his hair. It's important to be honest. He was doing too much. He didn't do too well.

It's a doozy of a weekend in terms of Premier League fixtures. We are live on Sunday from Arsenal against Manchester United. That's a half past four kick-off. And the other game that we're doing on Sunday live on the radio is Crystal Palace against Chelsea. Also on Sunday, it's Brentford and Forest and UCAS United and Villa. They're the other two o'clock kick-offs. And it's a reasonable state of the game tomorrow as well. West Ham and Sunderland get your weekend off to. A nice gentle one that you can largely ignore unless you're Ben. Burnley and Spurs at 3 o'clock. Fulham and Brighton at 3. Man City take on Wolves, a resurgent Wolves, at 3 o'clock to see who they're going to sign in the summer. And then Bournemouth against Liverpool is a half past five kick-off and are Liverpool back or not?
Bournemouth, slight resurgent. Slight green shoots in terms of their form just recently. Ben and David are with us in studio and Lee Phelps is with us on the line. Lee, good morning to you. How are you?
Yeah, really good. Thank you.
What Premier League fixtures are highlighted this weekend?
Yeah, it's a cracking weekend, isn't it? And there's a lot of those games that you just listed that it's not that easy to predict. I mean, like, you know, everyone will be hating me for saying this, but we've had a good start to the year because it's been a weird start. There's been some really strange results. And you look at Liverpool, how confident are you back at them? How confident are we back in Man City at 2-9 against Wolves? We should be, shouldn't we? We should be. You're not, though.
At the moment, you're just not backing City. I mean, they will win that game 2-0, right?
Yeah, they'll win the game, won't they? But 2-9, it's not like, yes, definitely put it on Urraca without even contemplating it, isn't it? It's not that, because the performance against Manchester United, the performance against Bodo Glimt, I mean, would Wolves beat Bodo Glimt?
Well, I don't know. I think Bodo Glimt in the Arctic Circle have been tricky for everybody. Juve had a late winner there. Spurs, who were obviously no good, also managed to draw there. Spurs and Europe aren't bad, right? They're, for whatever reason, a slightly different team.
I think it's because of Europe. I think that's what it is. It's because of Europe, isn't it? The Premier League, whatever you say about it, I know people always say it's the best league in the world and all that. Well, it must be pretty good because teams who are out of form in the Premier League just go places and win fairly comfortably, don't they?
You said it's been a good year for the bookmakers so far. Is that because the draw has made a comeback out of nowhere? There were no draws for a couple of seasons and now suddenly we're getting loads of them.
Yeah, I mean, some of the results have been absolute. I mean, we kind of like, obviously, you're looking at it through the prism of, you know, commercial results, obviously. But obviously, this season for us, we're also looking at it through the prism of final one standing. And when you look at, like, some of the... Obviously, those first... leagues, and especially the €500,000 one, they went so long, didn't they? We got all the way to round 19 for that, and you couldn't get rid of players. There was players getting through every week, but then suddenly you look at some of the results over the past couple of weeks, like, you know, for the newer leagues, you know, draws galore. That week where Man City drew, there were only about three wins, I think, all weekend.
Arsenal drew, of course. City drew, and suddenly you're like, yeah, so there's... We're getting winners every week.
