It's the Gerrard Lampard debate (not that one)

With Premier League matchday 2 in view, Jimbo, Michael Cox, Jay Harris and Duncan Alexander peruse an intriguing fixture list.

Tottenham travel to Chelsea with both sides looking to lay down a marker for who are the kings of London. But is the bigger capital game on Saturday as Brentford host struggling Manchester United?

It’s the first ever managerial meeting of Gerrard and Lampard this weekend. Who’s had a better coaching career and are both already under pressure?

The City Ground will host Premier League football for the first time in 23 years but we can’t shake the feeling that Forest might be making too many signings.

Plus Qatar, Bernardo Silva’s future and why are we seeing more goals from the halfway line?
