Episode description

Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool are just some of the teams in America during pre-season supposedly giving back to their fans abroad.

But is it enough? Do Premier League teams need to play competitive matches away from England to truly make this a global game?

Ayo Akinwolere is joined by Adam Crafton to discuss the importance of pre-season tours in the US for Premier League clubs with the likes of James McNicholas, Laurie Whitwell, Sam Lee and James Pearce also sharing their views while on tour.

Iain Macintosh also catches up with supporters in LA to ask how willing supporters in the USA are to see the teams they support play overseas.
