Strategic Insights

This season's Premier League coverage on Sky Sports will be introduced by a remixed version of Leicester rockers Kasabian's song "G.O.A.T", a testament to the band's enduring popularity in the world of football. The song, which features vocals from Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno and London artist Cristale, is a reworked version of the original track from their album "Happenings". The new rendition has been released on Spotify, and fans will be able to hear it for the first time during Liverpool's match against Bournemouth at Anfield tomorrow night.
