In this episode of the Five Aside Podcast, in collaboration with SoccerTakesWithAK, we preview a huge Premier League weekend — with a major twist: AFCON absences are starting to bite. We break down: Newcastle vs Chelsea, and whether Chelsea can impose themselves away from home Everton vs Arsenal, with Everton also feeling the effects of missing key AFCON players Tottenham vs Liverpool, where Liverpool are forced to cope without Salah Manchester City vs West Ham, and whether City keeps up their current winning momentum against a struggling West Ham Aston Villa vs Manchester United, where United are hit hardest by AFCON call-ups and questions around squad depth, balance, and identity Throughout the episode, we debate how managers adapt when star players disappear mid-season, which squads are best built to survive AFCON, and whether some teams’ ambitions might quietly unravel during this period. A mix of preview analysis, tactical questions, and proper football banter, as Five Aside x SoccerTakesWithAK look ahead to a weekend where availability might matter more than form.
