The Athletic's Jack Pitt-Brooke, James Maw and Charlie Eccleshare look ahead to the return of the Premier League this weekend and Spurs' game against West Ham on Sunday.

They debate the starting XI and whether Gareth Bale should start for his second Spurs debut.

They also look at how the players got on during the international break and reminisce over the music from the summer of 2007, when Gareth Bale started his first ever game for Spurs.
