Ben and Ellen welcome The Guardian's Tom Garry as the Women's Super League (WSL) returns for a new season on BBC Radio 5 Live. The panel debates the revised kick-off times, questioning whether the new Sunday evening slot appeals to the core women's football audience. Discussion turns to London City Lionesses, who started strongly with a starting XI featuring major global stars but no English players, raising questions about the league's role in developing home-grown talent.

Additionally, an investigation is underway after Crystal Palace breached substitution rules by using four substitution windows during their 1-0 victory over Everton.
