  • Edge of the Box, in association with UltimateFan UK, returns to preview the weekend's Premier League action as Sam Tighe and George Elek join Dan Bardell on this week's episode.


    Man United's season went from bad to worse with the 4-0 thrashing by Crystal Palace on Monday night, and now they prepare to face a ruthless, title-chasing Arsenal this weekend.


    The Gunners, though, haven't won in front of supporters at Old Trafford since 2006. Can they break that hoodoo at the most crucial time?


    The panel also preview Aston Villa's clash with Liverpool on Monday night and reflect on what has been a sensational season under Unai Emery, despite their Europa Conference League exit this week.


    Is Harvey Elliott making a late push for a place at Euro 2024 with England? Could Southgate call up Adam Wharton after his impressive performances of late?

  • Edge of the Box, in association with UltimateFan UK, returns to preview the weekend's Premier League action as Dan Worth and Jonathan Wilson join Dan Bardell on this week's episode.


    Tottenham were poor in Thursday's loss at Chelsea but it doesn't get much easier for Ange Postecoglou as the north London side make the trip to Anfield to take on Liverpool.


    The Reds have a fine home record against Spurs and will look to put on a show in Jurgen Klopp's penultimate home game as Liverpool boss. With Arne Slot set to succeed the German, the panel discuss the Feyenoord boss and what he'll bring to the club.


    There is also a discussion on Mohamed Salah's future at the club, who Liverpool could eye up to replace the Egypt international, Spurs' set-piece issues and James Maddison's drop off.


    Next up, we look into Crystal Palace's welcome of Manchester United, focusing on the success of their January signings, Jean-Philippe Mateta's form under Oliver Glasner and the performances of Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise.

  • Edge of the Box, in association with UltimateFan UK, returns as Dan Bardell, George Elek and Sam Tighe preview the weekend's Premier League action.


    After some brief chat about Brighton, attention turns to the North London Derby. Tottenham are looking to derail Arsenal's title pursuit on home turf. We compare both sets of centre-backs and the importance for their respective sides.


    How big a role will the full-backs play at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium? Destiny Udogie is ruled out and Pedro Porro is a doubt for the home side, though in Timo Werner and Brennan Johnson; Ange Postecoglou has wingers able to test the Gunners.


    Arsenal have played four games since Spurs last played, too. Will the increase in action hinder the Gunners? Should Mikel Arteta be trusting his squad more? We round off this section with the Combined XI.


    The second game in focus is Aston Villa's welcome of Chelsea on Saturday night. Ollie Watkins should be in the running for player of the season... right? The Villa forward is the only player to have registered double figures for both goals and assists in the Premier League this season, after all....


    Dan, George and Sam praise Unai Emery, who penned a new deal this week, and turn their attention to the Cole Palmer Te... sorry, Chelsea after their 5-0 loss at Arsenal in midweek. Is there any identity to the Blues!?

  • Edge of the Box, in association with UltimateFan UK, returns to preview the weekend's action as Dan Bardell, George Elek and Jonathan Wilson look ahead to another exciting set of games.


    While the panel usually focus on the Premier League, we're on FA Cup duty first of all this week as Manchester City host Chelsea. City were dumped out of the Champions League by Real Madrid in midweek. How will that loss impact Pep Guardiola's side in pursuit of a domestic double?


    Cole Palmer's exploits also fall under the microscope. Is he your signing of the season? He moved level with Erling Haaland on 20 league goals last time out, the City striker another whose form is analysed. We round off this section with the combined XI.


    Next up is Liverpool's trip to Fulham. The Reds have seen their season come apart at the seams in recent weeks. Will they respond with a result at Craven Cottage? The Whites won't be pushovers, with Marco Silva coming in for some deserved praise following another commendable campaign at the Fulham helm.

    Arsenal's welcome of Aston Villa is the standout tie of the gameweek as the Gunners look to remain in the driving seat to secure the Premier League title.


    Villa are without starting central midfielders Douglas Luiz and Boubacar Kamara - How will their respective absences hinder Unai Emery's side?


    The panel also praise Jorginho and Kai Havertz, two unlikely heroes in Arsenal quest for the title and round off the Arsenal-Villa section with the combined XI.


    Chelsea's meeting with Everton also falls under the microscope with the Blues struggling defensively and the Toffees falling to another points deduction on Monday.

  • Edge of the Box, in association with UltimateFan UK, is back as Dan Bardell, George Elek and Jonathan Wilson preview the weekend's Premier League action.


    Fresh from the midweek round of games, the panel delve straight into Manchester United's welcome of Liverpool. The Reds ultimately defeated Sheffield United to keep their title bid alive on Thursday night, while United were pegged back late on at Chelsea.


    Can Ten Hag's side derail Liverpool's title bid on Sunday? They've already beaten them at Old Trafford this season...


    Next up, the panel take a look at Tottenham's welcome of Nottingham Forest as Nuno Espirito Santo returns to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time.

  • Edge of the Box, in association with UltimateFan UK, returns to preview the weekend's Premier League action with George Elek and Sam Tighe joining Dan Bardell on this week's show.


    Unsurprisingly, Manchester City's welcome of Arsenal is the main focus ahead of Sunday's potential title showdown. With Liverpool in action against Brighton earlier on Sunday, neither side can afford a slip up at the Etihad Stadium.


    The main topic of discussion is Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka. There has been plenty of talk about the pair this season ahead of the monster meeting at the Etihad Stadium as we compare their respective campaigns.


    The panel also discuss Kai Havertz's turn in form, Mateo Kovacic's debut season and how injuries might impact City's chances of securing all three points with a combined XI to round off this section.


    Aston Villa vs Wolves is the other game in focus this week as Dan, George and Sam talk over Villa's midfield issues and how they'll fare against Mario Lemina and Joao Gomes, John McGinn's suspension and Pedro Neto's absence due to injury.


    All that and more is discussed on Edge of the Box this week.

  • Edge of the Box, in association with UltimateFan, returns this week as Dan Bardell, George Elek and Jonathan Wilson preview the weekend's FA Cup and Premier League action.


    First up is Liverpool's trip to Manchester United. The Reds geared up for Sunday's quarter-final tie with a rampant midweek win over Sparta Prague as the trio take a look at the impact of Mohamed Salah's return from injury, Alexis Mac Allister's form in the Liverpool midfield and the performances of youngster Jarell Quansah.


    We also get their thoughts on Erik ten Hag amidst rumours he'll be relieved of his duties at the end of the season. Would defeat on Sunday spell the end for the Dutchman? We round off this section with the combined XI.


    We then turn attention to the Premier League as Tottenham look to build upon last week's resounding win at Aston Villa when they travel to Fulham on Saturday evening. Spurs are likely to be without Micky van de Ven but they now have Radu Dragusin to deputise if needs must. After a solid cameo at Villa Park, the January arrival is in line for his full debut.


    Dan, George and Jonathan also discuss Rodrigo Muniz’s emergence at Craven Cottage and what it means for Armando Broja, who joined on loan from Chelsea at the turn of the year.

  • Edge of the Box, in association with UltimateFan, returns this week as Dan Bardell, Ali Maxwell and Jonathan Wilson preview the weekend's Premier League action.


    It's a monster weekend in the Premier League as Liverpool host Manchester City in a decisive clash in the title race. The Reds boast the second best defensive record in the division and we ask whether the Virgil van Dijk-Ibrahima Konate duo is the best in the league. With the latter now a doubt, how will that impact Liverpool on Sunday?


    Liverpool are certainly getting the job done in their efforts to remain in the title race as they leave it late on to wrap up all the spoils and we assess the importance of their never-say-die attitude to maximise stoppage - or should we say Kloppage - time.


    The panel also take a look at Jeremy Doku and whether City are better without the Belgian winger in the side? We round off that section with a combined XI.


    It's an impressive undercard to the main event, too, as Aston Villa host Tottenham. Dan, Ali and Jonathan give praise to Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins, the Premier League's most effective attacking duo, and discuss Brennan Johnson's role as super-sub for Spurs.

  • Edge of the Box, in association with UltimateFan, returns as Dan Bardell, George Elek and Sam Tighe preview the weekend's standout Premier League tie.


    It's the Manchester Derby on Sunday afternoon as Manchester United look to keep their slim Champions League chances alive. United booked their spot in the next round of the FA Cup in midweek but didn't look wholly convincing in their 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest, which comes off the back of a 2-1 loss to Fulham last time out.


    Conversely, Manchester City were rampant in the FA Cup on Tuesday night as Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne ran the show at Luton. Haaland netted five times at Kenilworth Road in the week to warm up for Sunday's showdown at the Etihad Stadium.


    The panel discuss Ten Hag in more detail and ponder what 'The Bigger Picture' is for United under the Dutchman. United will be without Rasmus Hojlund once more for this one with the Danish striker previously in fine form prior to injury. How much of a blow is the absence of the young forward be for Ten Hag's side against City? Similarly, Luke Shaw's unavailability is also a huge blow for the red side of Manchester.


    Dan, George and Sam also discuss whether Antony is the worst Premier League signing of all time. The big-money Brazilian started the defeat to Fulham on the bench, this despite the absence of Hojlund, with teenager Omari Forson preferred on the right.


    All that and more is discussed on Edge of the Box this week.

  • Dan Bardell, George Elek and Sam Tighe preview Sunday's Carabao Cup final on Edge of the Box this week, with today's show brought to you by UltimateFan.


    Chelsea look to have turned a corner ahead of the showdown at Wembley and are unbeaten in three, which includes a solid 1-1 draw at Manchester City. They look far more prepared for this month's meeting with Liverpool having been battered 4-1 at Anfield last month.


    The Reds have a mounting injury crisis with Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota among those sidelined. Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai will also be assessed. Fear not Liverpool fans, though, as Luis Diaz is shining on the frontline for Jurgen Klopp's side.


    There's also time to discuss Enzo Fernandez's form, Axel Disasi's Minecraft-like stature and a Combined XI to whet the appetite.

  • Dan Bardell is joined by George Elek and Sam Tighe as Edge of the Box, in association with UltimateFan, previews Arsenal's welcome of Newcastle.


    Magic Martin Odegaard has been in superb form of late for the Gunners with the panel waxing lyrical about the Arsenal captain. The Norwegian is one of three Arsenal players to make the Premier League form rankings, topped by... well you have to listen to find out!


    Bruno Guimaraes' form is also touched upon as Newcastle look to maintain their upturn in results. The Brazilian is about the only first team player for the Magpies who hasn't been injured this season.


    Speaking of injuries, just how significant is Joelinton's spell on the sidelines proving to be for the Magpies? The Brazilian looks set to miss the remainder of the campaign and his absence is proving costly for Eddie Howe's side.

  • Edge of the Box, in association with UltimateFan, returns to preview this week's Premier League action as George Elek and Jonathan Wilson join Dan Bardell ahead of gameweek 25.


    Chelsea's trip to Manchester City is the game in focus this week as the Blues look to build upon their 3-1 win at Crystal Palace on Monday night. Cole Palmer provided two assists in the victory as the youngster continues to shine following his arrival from City. Is he the signing of the season? At the very least - Chelsea FINALLY got something right in the window!


    Elsewhere, the panel discuss Jack Grealish's lack of action for City, Thiago Silva's time at Chelsea potentially coming to an end and a combined XI dominated by the league leaders.


    Sheffield United's welcome of Brighton also falls under the microscope after the Blades claimed a first away league win of the campaign at relegation rivals Luton last week. Just how important was that victory and will they build upon that triumph here?


    For Brighton, Pascal Gross is proving a revelation for the Seagulls this season and the German is given some well-deserved praise on Edge of the Box.


    Finally, West Ham are the team in focus after a terrible start to 2024. They ended 2023 so well but are yet to win a competitive match this year!

  • Edge of the Box, in association with UltimateFan, returns as Dan Bardell, Ali Maxwell and Sam Tighe preview the weekend's Premier League action.


    First up is Manchester United's trip to Aston Villa as Erik ten Hag's side look to build upon their 3-0 win over West Ham. United's young trio - Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo - all excelled in that victory, with the panel wondering whether it's too soon for an England call up for Mainoo.


    Villa will seek to bounce back from their disappointing FA Cup defeat to Chelsea in midweek and re-establish Villa Park as a fortress having lost back-to-back games.


    The Blues' trip to Crystal Palace is also in focus. Chelsea have lost back-to-back league matches, conceding eight times in the process, but looked much-improved at Villa in midweek. A foundation for Mauricio Pochettino to build upon?


    Victory may have eased the pressure on Pochettino but one man under the cosh is Eagles boss Roy Hodgson. Should he be sacked sooner rather than later? Who would take over at Selhurst Park for the final weeks of the season?

  • After a break for the FA Cup, Edge of the Box, in association with UltimateFan, returns to look ahead to the weekend's Premier League action.


    Liverpool's trip to Arsenal is the weekend's must-watch fixture in a game that could have huge ramifications in the title race. Dan Bardell, George Elek and Jonathan Wilson give their opinion on Jurgen Klopp's departure at the end of the season and discuss whether he can guide the Reds to the quadruple.


    Conor Bradley's impact, what it means for Trent Alexander-Arnold, and the impact of Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez in the absence of Mohamed Salah is also touched upon.


    Next up is Manchester City's trip to Brentford. The Bees were the only side to do the double over City last season. Is a repeat on the cards? With Ivan Toney and Neal Maupay striking up quite the understanding, they're sure to cause problems for the City backline!


    The panel talk about Kevin De Bruyne's return to fitness and whether he is the best player to ever grace the Premier League.


    The January transfer window is also analysed in what has been quieter month in the Premier League.

  • Edge of the Box is back to look ahead to the weekend's action as Dan Bardell, George Elek and Jonathan Wilson preview the biggest Premier League games.


    Arsenal's welcome of Crystal Palace is first up as Mikel Arteta's side seek to avoid a fourth successive defeat of the Spaniard's managerial career. Do Arsenal still need a striker this month? If so, who? Are they well equipped to even challenge for the title!? Palace's summer signing Matheus Franca also falls under the microscope. In the absence of Michael Olise, should Roy Hodgson look to the young Brazilian to shoulder the attacking burden?


    Liverpool travel to Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon as they seek to maintain their title charge. The Reds, though, may be without their entire right side for the game on the south coast. How will the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and potentially Dominik Szoboszlai impact Jurgen Klopp's side? Bournemouth have been in good form of late after all!

    Tottenham's trip to Manchester United is the pick of the games with Timo Werner in line to make his Spurs debut on Sunday. With Radu Dragusin tipped to feature too, will Tottenham's January signings push them towards the Champions League? Or will United bring the north London side back down to earth?


    The panel also look into Newcastle's welcome of Manchester City on Saturday evening and assess how, or if, Kevin De Bruyne's return to fitness will impact Phil Foden's flying form. With the January transfer window in full swing, should Newcastle make a move for a new goalkeeper this month?

  • Edge of the Box returns to preview the weekend's action as Dan Bardell, George Elek and Sam Tighe look ahead to gameweek 18.


    Liverpool's welcome of Arsenal is the game of the weekend as the Premier League's top two collide in a huge clash on Saturday evening.


    The Reds were surprisingly held to a goalless draw at home to Manchester United last weekend, but could spend Christmas atop the Premier League with a statement victory over the Gunners.


    Also coming under the microscope is Chelsea's Christmas Eve trip to Wolves, and the Blues' multi-hundred million pound midfield duo Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, who have so far failed to set the world alight in west London.


    Mauricio Pochettino, though, is now able to call upon summer addition Christopher Nkunku after his return from injury, but will the Frenchman have the impact Chelsea fans are so desperate for?


    The panel also discuss Wolves and just how unfortunate they've been this season with injuries and VAR decisions. But Matheus Cunha's uplift in form this term is a positive for Gary O'Neil, and the team dissect how the Brazilian has taken on the attacking output that the injured Pedro Neto would typically be responsible for.


    Finally, this week's team in focus segment is replaced by a look at the panel's selections for the Premier League Team of the Season So Far.


    Bukayo Saka or Mohamed Salah? Erling Haaland or Ollie Watkins? Which stars make the WhoScored statistical best XI? Who leads the running for Player of the Season?


    All that and more are covered in the latest episode of Edge of the Box!
