In today's Sports Talk, Mark Philip and Betfred's Peter Spencer look ahead to the return of the Premier League this weekend.
Games include Manchester United's trip to Watford on Saturday and Manchester City's home clash against Everton on Sunday.
Betfred has also announced legendary ring announcer Michael Buffer, best known for his 'Let's get ready to rumble' catchphrase, as the new face of the company. From this weekend, Michael will feature in Betfred's adverts across TV, covering and promoting longstanding partnerships with boxing, rugby league, snooker, darts and golf.
And 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here' returns this weekend. Familiar faces include Simon Gregson, better known as Steve McDonald in Coronation Street, TV presenter Richard Madeley, and Singer-songwriter Frankie Bridge amongst others.
Tuesday night saw Ashton United pass up on the chance to set up an all-Ashton Manchester Premier Cup Final, with Tameside neighbours Droylsden picking up a shock semi-final victory at Hurst Cross.
Following their loss at home to Real Madrid last week, knocking them out of the Champions League, Manchester City faced arguably a tougher test against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup Final on Sunday.
