Overlap Daily aims to provide fans with a daily rundown of the latest football news and debate, featuring regular guests who offer exclusive insights alongside the presenters’ perspectives and predictions. It will also introduce questions from fans and a phone-in segment.

Following Monday's show with Gerrard and Ives, Tuesday's will feature Cates, Young and Hart. Wednesday's edition will see ex-Spurs alumni Redknapp and Sherwood take the reins.
Thursday's show will see Everton hero Ferguson and ex-Wales shot-stopper Crossley step up to hosting duties. Carragher, Neville and Goldbridge will helm the Friday show.
Overlap Daily comes hot on the heels of the huge success of Neville's other podcast, The Overlap, which has generated more than 38 million monthly views since it began in 2021. Guests such as David Beckham, Tyson Fury and Rory McIlroy have taken to the hotseat, making it one of the most popular podcasts in the UK.
Neville, founder of the Overlap, said: "We have wanted to create a daily show for some time now. There was a moment in the last year where a manager was sacked and we didn’t have a programme for seven days - at that point we recognised that we needed to go for it.

"Overlap Daily takes that ambition to the next level, creating a place for the stories and debates that matter, every day, with an incredible line-up of the best football voices in the business.”
