The Premier League is almost here and Jamie Carragher and Paul Scholes are back with Part 2 of our Fan Debate brought to you by Sky Bet and this one gets lively.

We kick things off with Manchester City as fans discuss Pep Guardiola’s trophyless season and the latest on the 115 charges hanging over the club. Over at Manchester United, can Ruben Amorim start to kick on at Old Trafford? And with striker Benjamin Sesko on the way, United fans are asking the big question: are we back?

Then it’s on to Tottenham Hotspur who have replaced Ange Postecoglou with Thomas Frank while club legend Son Heung-min heads to MLS, where does Son rank amongst the Spurs greats, and is his legacy greater of Harry Kane’s?

We also check in with Leeds, Everton and Brentford from Everton’s move to their new stadium to Brentford’s squad being raided to Leeds’ hopes of surviving their Premier League return.

Finally we head to the North East for the return of the Tyne-Wear Derby as Newcastle face uncertainty over Alexander Isak’s future and Sunderland enjoy their first top-flight season in eight years.

In this episode of The Overlap Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet, Paul Scholes and Jamie Carragher are joined by football fans from across the country, including Simon Rix, Leeds United supporter and bassist of the Kaiser Chiefs.

We kick off by looking ahead to the Club World Cup and the early transfer window. The conversation then turns to what each club needs for the season ahead.

How will Ruben Amorim handle his first transfer window, and how big a task does he face? What’s missing at Liverpool, and who should they target in the market? Will Aston Villa be able to keep hold of Emi Martinez and Ollie Watkins this summer? And how will Champions League money shape Tottenham’s plans?

The fans also weigh in on which players they would love to see back at their clubs, while Georgia and Greg put Jamie and Paul on the spot with their pre-season questions.

Finally, a huge thank you to everyone who’s joined us for the Fan Debate over the past 10 months. We’ll see you again ahead of the 2025/26 season. Let us know who you’d like to see join us on the show.
