The Athletic's Sam Lee joins Colm Boohig & Enda Coll to talk Premier League, the Community Shield, and the first real signs of life after Pep Guardiola at Manchester City...

Sam explains why you can’t read too much into a glorified pre-season game – but also why there are genuine reasons for uncertainty with Rodri and Bernardo Silva gone, and Enzo Maresca inheriting a squad mid-shift.

They get into City’s evolving style, the captaincy call, Jack Grealish’s future, concerns around Donnarumma, and whether Arsenal are champions people will actually remember.
