On this Overlap Exclusive, brought to you by Sky Bet, we sit down with Micky van de Ven for an open conversation about his journey in football and life at Tottenham Hotspur.

Van de Ven looks back at where it all began, breaking into the game before earning a move to Wolfsburg, where his performances in the Bundesliga put him on the radar of Europe’s biggest clubs.

He then reflects on his move to Tottenham, joining under Ange Postecoglou and being part of a side that went on to lift the Europa League. Micky opens up on what that period meant to him, how he felt when Ange was dismissed, and how the squad responded to change.

The conversation turns to the present day, as he discusses life under Thomas Frank, the challenges of the current season and what the manager has brought to the group.

Finally, Micky looks ahead to the future, sharing his ambitions with the Netherlands as the countdown begins towards the World Cup next year.

Welcome back to another episode of the Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.

Jamie Carragher is joined by some of the biggest fan channels in the country to break down the biggest talking points in the Premier League right now.

We start with the 1–1 draw between Chelsea and Arsenal. What does it mean for the title race and what did we learn about both sides? We also look at Declan Rice and where he ranks among the world’s best midfielders.

That result opens the door for Manchester City, who continue to hunt Arsenal down. Can Pep’s side catch them, and will their famous second half of the season surge prove decisive again?

We also check in with Aston Villa and Sunderland after their impressive starts and ask just how far both teams can go this season. Meanwhile, Newcastle and Fulham have had mixed results, can either find consistency and push up the table?

Despite beating West Ham, questions continue to follow Liverpool and Arne Slot. After a heavy summer spend, why are the same problems still showing and is the investment paying off?

Manchester United also get discussed after a big win at Selhurst Park. Is Ruben Amorim finally finding rhythm after a shaky start, and can United now put a run of results together?

If you had to give your team a score out of 10 for their season so far, what would you choose? Let us know in the comments and don’t forget to like and subscribe so you never miss an episode of The Overlap.
