Guest: Bob Holmes, Football Journalist & Pundit, Sean Malhotra, Myra
We're only in the second matchweek of the English Premier League, and yet some fans are already nervous and pessimistic. One such fan is our pundit Sean Malhotra, still reeling from Manchester United's loss against Hull last week. Can United bounce back and get their season underway against Ipswich this weekend? Meanwhile, our other returning pundit for the new season, Myra, is beaming and optimistic, as Chelsea, under Xabi Alonso, showed early season promise — winning the London derby against Fulham earlier in the week, before beating Luton in the Carabao Cup. Elsewhere, Bob Holmes is also nervous, with Nottingham Forest, now under the stewardship of Oliver Glasner, visiting Anfield to face Liverpool. We review the Carabao Cup matches, look ahead to matchweek 2 of the EPL, and share our thoughts on the Champions League draw, only on another episode of Just For Kicks!
