Episode 2: Premier League Preview

This week we’re making our predictions ahead of the upcoming English Premier League Season! In part one, we discussed why only one trophy matters now for Manchester City (5:00), how Liverpool can improve on their best season ever in the Premier League era (15:20), and what it’s going to take for Chelsea to fill the void left by Hazard after one of their weirdest seasons ever (26:15). Next, we take a look at the north side of London where Spurs’ biggest hurdle to overcome this season may come from within (32:30) and Arsenal have decided to double down on their strengths from last season rather than addressing their apparent weaknesses (41:45), then we try to make sense of the dysfunction at Manchester United (51:24) and its detriment on the upcoming season (1:01:55). Finally, we make our end of season top 6 and award predictions, with Elyas making a bold prediction(1:11:40). On the next episode of The Overlap, take a deep dive into VAR, it’s merits, downfalls, and how it’s affecting the future of the sport.
