The new Premier League campaign is awash with dozens of new signings, nine new managers, at least 100 unreasonably priced new home, away, third and goalkeeper kits and newfound hopes, dreams and fears.Given how much churn has taken place this summer and with the gap from top to bottom shrinking in recent years, predicting numbers one to 20 in English football’s top flight is a more challenging task than it has been for a while, as some of the opening weekend’s eyebrow-raising results suggested.“The unpredictable nature of the Premier League is its best asset.”Those were the words of Gary Neville before Sky Sports’ build-up to the first match of the 2026-27 league season, Arsenal versus Coventry City.But while so much in the Premier League changes, one thing stays the same; Neville, Jamie Carragher and many of the pundits from Sky and TNT — the competition’s two UK television broadcasters — and experts have a familiar look.In an unpredictable Premier League season, the coverage we’re watching actually feels very predictable. Is that a good thing?It’s slick, it’s familiar and it undoubtedly works. Neville, Carragher, Ian Wright and Sky’s main presenter Dave Jones, pitchside at the Emirates, making live TV look easy.Over 90 minutes on Friday night, they do a little season preview, cover the prospects of Arsenal and Coventry in depth, there’s a feature on the Sky Blues preparing for their top-flight return and two insightful, warm interviews with both managers, particularly with Frank Lampard, as you would expect given the panel are all his former team-mates.It’s an extremely smooth, well packaged show and the chemistry between the quartet, who’ve done this hundreds of times, is convivial and natural.Neville says about Lampard taking the Coventry job: “Honestly it would have been the easiest thing in the world for him just to sit on television, earning good money, giving his opinion and sort of switch off on management.”Carragher: “Embarrassing, them people who do that.”They burst out laughing. It’s a good moment.And look, it’s important that Sky’s coverage is this watchable. They’re screening 215 of the 380 Premier League matches this season, putting them almost at BBC levels in terms of their responsibility to us, the viewer, to produce coverage worthy of the self-styled best league in the world. That means evolving and improving.To that end, what’s new this year? Well, apart from commentator Peter Drury revealing the team news when it drops, not a lot. Sky have launched a multiview option so you can watch four sports channels at once on the same screen (which to be honest sounds a bit overwhelming and only genuinely useful in rare circumstances like Champions League nights, except they haven’t got the rights to that tournament), but that’s about it.Otherwise it’s the same feel and the same faces. Jones has been front and centre of their top-end football coverage for around a decade, while of their main pundits Jamie Redknapp is 20 years in, Neville joined in 2011 and Carragher in 2013. Roy Keane and Micah Richards are fresher faces, but even they became regulars just before the Covid-19 pandemic.Daniel Sturridge, who is on Super Sunday duty for Newcastle United against Liverpool alongside Richards and presenter Mark Chapman, is the newest ‘A-list’ pundit addition and, while lacking the authority of his colleagues, he has undoubtedly improved with his delivery and insights in the past couple of years.
