The Premier League is back and so are Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Adrian Clarke and Nooruddean Choudry.\n\nEngland are pegged back in Poland late on in a game where Gareth Southgate doesn\u2019t make any substitutions. Does the England manager have a tendency to freeze on the big stage?\n\nScotland are the only home nation to win in midweek, a huge victory in Austria in World Cup qualifying, as Andrew Slaven describes all.\n\nThe headlines in the Premier League look set to be dominated by Ronaldo\u2019s return to Old Trafford. And the clash of the bottom two as Arsenal host Norwich. Could defeat spell the end for Arteta?\n\nThe panel are excited about Man City\u2019s goalkeeping situation and about seeing Harvey Elliott and Dan James in action at Elland Road.\n\nPlus People Just Do Nothing and people pinching throats. And Solskjaer and Szczesny \u2013 two of the best in the country.\n\n\nRUNNING ORDER:\xa0\n\xa0\n\u2022 PART 1: The return of Ronaldo (04m 30s)\n\u2022 PART 2a: Poland 1-1 England (16m 30s)\n\u2022 PART 2b: Austria 0-1 Scotland with Andrew Slaven (28m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 3a: Arsenal v Norwich preview (33m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 3b: Crystal Palace v Spurs preview (39m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 3c: Leicester v Man City preview (41m 30s)\n\u2022 PART 4: The rest of the Premier League weekend (45m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 5: The odds with Paddy Power (62m 30s)\n\u2022 PART 6: A change to your scheduled programming (65m 00s)\n\n\nSIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC TODAY FOR 33% OFF THE PRICE OF AN ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION\n\u2022\xa0theathletic.com/totally\n\xa0\nGET IN TOUCH:\n\u2022\xa0follow us on\xa0Instagram\n\u2022\xa0find us on\xa0Facebook\n\u2022 send us a\xa0tweet: @TheTotallyShow\n\xa0\nPARISH NOTICES:\n\u2022\xa0we\u2019re sponsored by\xa0Paddy Power\xa0- home of the Money Back Special\n\xa0\nREAD STUFF ON OUR WEBSITE:\n\u2022\xa0check out\xa0thetotallyfootballshow.com.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
