What are the key talking points for the upcoming weekend's Premier League matches?
Hello and welcome to the Sky Sports Football Weekend Preview where we discuss the big talking points ahead of the weekend's action. And there's loads to get into this week with Leicester vs Man City, Arsenal vs Everton and Liverpool vs West Ham all on Sky and all on our agenda too. I'm Peter Smith, the Sky Sports Football Features Editor. And this week I'm joined by football journalist Gerard Brand. Hello. And Ben Grounds. Hi. Hi, how are you doing? I'm very well.
Ben, it's your debut. It is, it's my debut. Ben, what's your favourite debut?
I haven't thought about this.
How have I asked you three days ago?
It's really caused problems for me, this, because there have been so many Premier League, great Premier League debuts.
How is Manchester City's Champions League ban affecting their season?
There have been lots of Premier League debuts.
I had to Google it. I think Lewis Suarez had a good debut for Liverpool. He came off the bench, scored against Stoke, but that's not my favourite. What's your favourite? I would say August 1996 was a really good start to the season for Premier League debuts because you not only had obviously the great Gary Speed scoring for Everton against Newcastle who were going for the league that season supposedly in a 2-0 win, but on that same day Fabrizio Ravenelli introduced himself to the Premier League. His previous game had been in the Champions League final for Juventus, scoring the winning goal against Ajax. Sign turned up at the Riverside. It was the Samba Boys against the Spice Boys. Each time the Spice Boys had something to do.
Burrow came back with the white feather. If you look at any sort of article that's out there about the best Premier League debuts, I think you have to click along quite a few times to get to number one. Invariably, it's Ravinelli.
Gerrard, you ask the question, so I'll answer it. Mine's got to be Rooney, Fenerbahce, purely because all three goals are outside the box and for years they spoke of Van Nistelrooy as being this fox in a box.
What impact could the appeal process have on Manchester City's star players?
I don't think he ever scored a goal outside the box, mate, you're not. And then Rooney comes along and just bangs three and on his debut, brilliant.
Yeah, fantastic free kick apart in the midst of that, wasn't it? Yeah, there was. Well, you've sort of broken the rules because you've gone from Premier League to Champions League.
I have, sorry, yeah.
So I'll break the rules as well and go international football. ricky lambert august 2013 comes on against scotland two minutes in bang header winner three two i mean that's that's stuff that dreams are made of isn't it i'd say over the years probably one of the worst england kits though and in terms of that time of england's recent should we let that detract from ricky lambert's glorious moment though it's absolutely fair i think wasn't he working in a factory a few years before that as well he was with jam jam factory
Okay, okay.
Look, we'll get into some proper football chat. Proper football. Proper series football chat.
So I'm new, so we thought we'd do debuts. Yeah. Hopefully Ben's debut lives up to it.
How do Ancelotti and Arteta compare in their managerial impacts?
How many of these are under us? Four or five. Four. It's kind of like when you're in the second year of, I don't know, secondary school and you come back when you're like 14 and all of a sudden you feel like you're like better than everyone.
Yeah, I feel comfortable in this chair now.
Okay. Good, good. OK, as I said, later in the show we're going to be talking about Leicester versus Manchester City, Arsenal versus Everton and Liverpool versus West Ham. First, though, we're going to have a quick word with Carvey Solicor about a very serious story which is looming over Manchester City at the moment. They're banned from Champions League football and their intended appeal to the Court of Arbitration for sport. Carvey, welcome back to the Sky Sports Football Weekend Preview podcast. How are you doing?
Yeah, not too bad. Good to be back. Busy week.
What are Leicester's chances against Manchester City this weekend?
Good. Yeah, absolutely. It sounds like Manchester City and UEFA have been keeping you very busy. So can you just bring us up to speed with where we stand with this case at the moment and what comes next?
