Premier League preview part 2: Who could surprise us?

Who will make it into the European spots? And who's for the drop?

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Jay Harris and Daniel Storey to preview the 2026-27 Premier League season.

All change in the dugouts with 9 teams getting new managers this summer. How will Newcastle cope with the mass exodus? Can De Zerbi turn things around at Spurs with a pre-season and some new signings?

The three promoted sides are odds on to go down but can Gary O'Neil’s Ipswich, Frank Lampard's Coventry or Sergej Jakirovic's Hull buck the trend?

Plus the panellists' bottom 3 predictions.

Produced by Charlie Jones, Jesse Howard, Jake Liascos and Lucy Oliva.
