The guests look at the prospective fate of the three relegated clubs in Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton, if Sheffield United can recover from Wembley heartache and how the three promoted clubs of Birmingham City, Wrexham and Charlton may get on.
The panel then turns its attention to the current plight of Sheffield Wednesday and whether there are any dark horses in the league that could surprise the second tier.
It all starts on Friday August 8 when Birmingham City host Ipswich live on Sky Sports. Every game over the opening weekend is also available to watch, either via Sky Sports+ or on the Sky Sports app.
