This is Early Kick Off from the Men in Blazers media network and presented by our great friends of the pod STōK Cold Brew Coffee, all your global football stories straight from the back pages of Europe's newspapers in around 10 minutes.

On today’s episode: We preview the Premier League weekend, which includes Arsenal travelling to Newcastle and Chelsea hosting Manchester United; Ruben Amorim says his move to Manchester United is not necessarily done yet; Pep Guardiola says his team are ‘in trouble’ because of injuries; we preview the games around Europe and in the MLS; and finally, there’s a new derby in world football.
