As the new football season is upon us, pundits and fans will once again try and answer a question as old as time – who will win the Premier League title?

Up to 2023, he was Liverpool's Director of Research, so how long has this football data revolution been going on for? And how has its use evolved over the Premier League’s history?

He told Sportshour’s Caroline Barker about how clubs use data in their pursuit of silverware.
