• Can Trafford take Ederson’s jersey? (...and have Everton signed the bargain of the summer?)

  James Trafford didn’t do so well in the Premier League with Burnley, so why does Pep Guardiola think he’ll do better this time? We ask goalkeeping expert David Preece what he makes of it. Chelsea have made some big signings and they’ve won two trophies in the last three months. Could they actually win the title. Matt Davies Adams isn’t so sure.  And why is everyone so impressed with Everton’s capture of Adam Aznou? Analytics FC CEO Alex Stewart tells us all about him and why he could be so good.  Plus, we’ve got your ‘Stick With Me But…’ predictions for the new season and is £13m plus add-ons a bit much for soon-to-be-33-year-old Granit Xhaka?  Presenter: Iain Macintosh Producer: Tom Fuller Writers’ Room: Chris Smith Guests: David Preece, Matt Davies Adams, Alex Stewart

• Welcome To Route One

  Welcome to Route One, we like football, fast with no faff and that’s why the show will never be longer than 15 minutes.  In that time, we’ll bring you up to date with the biggest stories of the day, but we’ll also shine a light on some of the stories that other people might have missed. So we’ll open with Lynsey Hooper who was in Switzerland for the Lionesses big win, then we’ll start looking at some of the continent’s outside bets for the title. The Athletic’s Seb Stafford Bloor tells us about Bayer Leverkusen. And who is this Greek kid that Brighton have signed for £30m? Analytics FC CEO Alex Stewart gives us the low down. Plus, we want to know your wilder predictions for the season to come. Personally, I think West Ham are going down. What do you think? Message me on [email protected].  If you like the show, please do follow it. And if you have time, good reviews are SO important to us as we try to gain a foothold in this incredibly crowded marketplace.  Presenter: Iain Macintosh Producer: Tom Fuller Writers’ Room: Chris Smith Guests: Lynsey Hooper, Seb Stafford Bloor, Alex Stewart
