The Premier League returns – but will Steve Bruce still be in his job at Newcastle? All the money in the world but they can’t spend it yet. And what if they go down? And what will happen to Ed’s unused Steve Bruce wedding memorabilia?

Elsewhere, we’ll work out if anything has surprised us from the season so far and look ahead to the weekend’s games, including Claudio Ranieri’s arrival at Watford, Everton hosting West Ham, and Leicester hosting Manchester United, along with a look at the impact of Afcon on the top Premier League clubs.

There’s some international action to round up, we do our best to analyse Concacaf from afar, plus all the latest on Lars’s dog Lola.

Back on Monday.
