Jimbo welcomes back Charlie Eccleshare, Lynsey Hooper and Duncan Alexander ahead of the last Premier League weekend before the World Cup.\n\nGareth Southgate names his England squad for Qatar with James Maddison, Ben White and Callum Wilson the big picks. The panel are just hoping Kieran Trippier doesn\u2019t get injured this weekend.\n\nWolves v Arsenal and Newcastle v Chelsea are the headline fixtures this weekend. Will we see full intensity from the World Cup-bound players? Will the likes of Haaland and Salah fill their boots? Will we see some very early reducers at Fulham v Man United?\n\nNancy Frostick gives us the lowdown on possibly the biggest game of the weekend in England, the East Lancashire derby between the top two in the Championship, Burnley v Blackburn.\n\nPlus Gary Bull, pre-planned celebrations and the inconvenience of the Carabao Cup.\n\nProduced by Charlie Jones.\n\nRUNNING ORDER:\xa0\n\u2022 PART 1a: Scrap the League Cup?
