All right, so it's another inside the odds looking ahead to the first weekend of the uh Premier League season, joined by Ender Call and Shane Hannan. How are you lads? How are we getting all lads? All good. Are you keeping? Are we feeling excited for the new season?
Yeah. That was a
very
tentative. That was a s uh there was a pause there that that
said more.
We've had a lot of football in the last three months, but I think the break has just about been long enough for me to get excited.
Yeah. It's I don't know. Because the Premier League season was bit I dunno, last last year I didn't really didn't grab me the way other Premier League seasons have. So are we feeling that this season might grab us a little bit better? Okay, the title race was a bit interesting towards the end. You know.
There's more I think there's more unpredictability about the like every preview you listen to, every podcast you listen to ahead of this Premier League season, no b nobody has a clue. People way more learned than I am on football have no clue what's gonna happen. And there's a pick of teams who people are like, Oh yeah, they could finish second or tenth. Yeah. We were saying it this morning in Authable Breakfast, like Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool probably all fall into that bracket.
Yeah.
But they could they could come second, but More likely maybe third or fourth, fifth. But they could finish tenth or eleventh. It's a weird one.
Yeah. Yeah. Like I suppose We are the home of the Premier League on uh Sundays, so uh this weekend we have Manchester City and Bournemouth kicking off at two o'clock.
What are the opening weekend Premier League fixtures and key match‑ups?
Um Phil Egan
and Keith Tracy on that one.
Yeah. And then at half past four. It's Liverpool and Newcastle United at St James's Park with Stephen Doyle and Brian Care. Indeed. Yeah, so maybe yeah, maybe we'll kick off our uh Our Premier League luck ahead with the uh Newcastle Liverpool game. Um remember inside the odds is with Novi Bet get up to ten euro back as a free bet on the biggest Premier League and Champions League matches every week with Novi Bet built for the games. 18 plus terms and conditions apply. See gamblingcare dot iE. Now uh producer Ben has gone with the bet builder this week because uh I did a few over the summer for the World Cup and didn't get in with an Arse's roar of anything. So uh this weekend he's chosen Liverpool and Newcastle.
He's predicted Liverpool to win over four and a half cards. And uh Dom McZobba's likely to get one assist. And now that came in at 13 to 2, but it's actually been boosted with the Novi Bet Bet builder, uh bet booster, sorry, uh, to seven to one. So Liverpool to win, over four and a half cards and Dominic Zobasly assist. Uh do we think Liverpool will beat Newcastle off the bat this Sunday?
Yeah, I I think there's probably gonna be first of all a bit of emotion around this fixture, I'd imagine, uh given the history Kevin Keegan has with both clubs, there'll be there'll be some tributes to him before the before the kickoff. But uh It's ka prime time in a Sunday afternoon, opening weekend and I I expect Liver Liverpool to bring it. I know they haven't had like their the greatest transfer window. They haven't, you know, brought in some some big names that you'd have seen them in in the past, but like people write off the likes of Alexander Isaac and say, Oh, he was you know, injured for so like so much of last season but he's almost like a new sign in this this year if he can we know what he can do in the Premier League.
Um the Zomba's the Zomba's line one probably makes sense in that he's he's so refreshed.
