The BBC Sounds episode, 55 mins long, features Joe Hart and Chris Sutton alongside Adam Crafton and Mark Chapman as they preview the upcoming Premier League season and whether they can cover/story all 20 clubs in one episode.

They start with a replay of Manchester City’s Community Shield defeat to Arsenal, debating what it takes to defend a Premier League title and questioning the difficulty of maintaining dominance after a high‑profile loss.

The discussion turns to Chelsea, with Xabi Alonso asked to match Antonio Conte’s feat of taking a club from tenth place to champions. The panel weighs Mourinho’s influence, squad depth, and the challenge of sustaining success against the backdrop of a crowded title race.

Later, Hull City assistant head‑coach Dean Holden outlines their preparations for a return to the top flight, while the hosts touch on survival hopes for Coventry and Ipswich, Aston Villa’s potential goalkeeper shuffle, and which clubs службы most likely to under‑deliver this season.
