Jimbo, Jay Harris, Sasha Goryunov and Matt Davies-Adams gather in the studio to cast an eye over the opening weekend of the Premier League season.\n\nChelsea and Liverpool contest yet another draw but it\u2019s a more encouraging afternoon for Mauricio Pochettino in his first game as Blues boss.\n\nIt\u2019s a point for Tottenham too in their first game of the post-Kane era with Bissouma in particular like a new signing at Brentford.\n\nNewcastle are the big winners of the weekend, hammering and exposing Villa. What could they achieve with a full season of Isak at their disposal?\n\nPlus Roy gets rough and Brighton take the Pervis.\n\nProduced by Charlie Jones.\n\xa0\nRUNNING ORDER:\xa0\n\u2022 PART 1: Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool (04.00)\n\u2022 PART 2a: Burnley 0-3 Man City (13.00)\n\u2022 PART 2b: Newcastle 5-1 Aston Villa (17.00)\n\u2022 PART 2c: Arsenal 2-1 Nottingham Forest (23.00)\n\u2022 PART 3a: Aussie shoot-out rules (30.00)\n\u2022 PART 3b: Spurs begin life after Kane with a draw at Brentford (33.00)\n\u2022 PART 3c: The rest of the Premier League weekend (41.00)\n\nSIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC TODAY FOR \xa31.99 A MONTH FOR 12 MONTHS\n\u2022\xa0theathletic.com/totally\nLearn more about your ad choices.
