First episode of 2025 of In the Box, our podcast on English football, entirely dedicated to four teams in crisis who are looking for redemption in the new year. First of all, the two Manchesters: City fifth, -14 from the top, United fourteenth, +7 from the relegation zone. An unthinkable ranking on the eve of the season, which will induce the two clubs, despite many economic restrictions, to look for some reinforcements in the January transfer window that can turn their championship around. No less serious crisis, in relation to expectations, also those of two historic London teams: Tottenham, only eleventh, and West Ham, thirteenth and a few days ago overwhelmed at home by Liverpool 5-0. But in this event there will also be space to talk about Isak, the Swedish striker of a flying Newcastle team, and the rain of dismissals, 18, that are characterizing this Championship season, the English Serie B.
In the Box, the podcast on English football, is edited by Paolo Avanti, Stefano Cantalupi and Pier Luigi Giganti. Twice a week we discuss and analyze the most important issues of the Premier League and British football in general, with an eye also to the lower leagues and the FA Cup.
