Arsenal look to avoid another opening-day stinker, Everton look toothless and will Jürgen Klopp start Darwin Núñez?
This has been a difficult summer for Leicester. Kasper Schmeichel has left, the futures of Wesley Fofana and James Maddison are up in the air, and the Foxes are the only Premier League club yet to sign a player. A club close to qualifying for the Champions League in 2020 and 2021 found last season did not go entirely to plan, with Brendan Rodgers’ side finishing eighth, six points off a Europa League place. A lot of it is centred around the incisiveness of Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio on the counter, and while West Ham looked short of creativity during pre-season that is likely to be less of a problem against City. After all, David Moyes will not be making plans for his team to dominate possession. The Portuguese’s decision to go awol was surely premeditated as a latest ploy in the push to leave a club there is supposedly adoration for. Erik ten Hag’s first Manchester United XI for a Premier League game is not expected to include Cristiano Ronaldo due to the wantaway striker’s lack of match-fitness. After hosting Aston Villa, Bournemouth next travel to Manchester City before facing Arsenal at home and Liverpool at Anfield. A point at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday may be necessary to avoid the ominous prospect of losing their first four league games and seeing their survival hopes potentially begin to wash away along the south coast by the end of August. Villa fans will be expecting greater things than last season’s 14th place, and if Steven Gerrard’s players are intent on making large strides up the table, picking up three points in games like this should be a must in their hunt for a first top-half finish since promotion in 2019. Conte’s system is based on getting the best out of his front men, and Kane intends to embrace the expectations. When he was denied his wish, he laboured, scoring only one league goal before the middle of December. He rediscovered his groove under Conte, who joined at the start of November, to finish with 17 in the competition and he carries momentum into the opening game against Southampton, having had a proper pre-season this time. Instead the 30-year-old has made it crystal clear he intends to be playing the first-team football that will all but guarantee him a place on England’s World Cup bound flight to Doha in November. Accordingly the consensus is that Howe will start Pope ahead of Dubravka on Saturday. That, in turn, is set to upset the Slovakia goalkeeper and his agent, who has reiterated that his client is too good to be anyone’s understudy. If pre-season is a time for optimism, it has been particularly pronounced at Tottenham. First Antonio Conte committed to the project, then the club made quick and targeted signings. The goalscorer is gone, the England international is out injured for the next six weeks and Rondón is suspended. The Uruguay forward started on the bench when Liverpool beat City in the Community Shield last weekend, but he appeared to be on the same wavelength as his new teammates after coming on in the second half.
The new season of Premier League is here. Here are details related to the match schedule, fixtures, timing, and streaming, as well as check where to watch ...
Working in England’s top tier of football has always been a high pressure situation, with managers losing jobs at the slightest hint of non-performance. Palace easily defeated the opposition in the previous season by a 3-0. Richarlison, Ivan Perisic, and Yves Bissouma, a seasoned Croatian player, and other players with Premier League experience have all been added by Tottenham. Since Patrick Vieira, a fantastic player at Arsenal, is in the leadership of the Palace team, Arsenal followers will see him on the opposing side. The world's most popular football league will kick off at Selhurst Park when Crystal Palace hosts Arsenal this weekend. Erling Haaland's deal to join Manchester City has been one of European football's most frequently discussed moves this summer.

Fulham and Bournemouth are back in the big time after securing automatic promotion from the Championship last season, while Nottingham Forest return after a ...
The Reds have thrown financial caution to the wind to become one of the summer’s big spenders in a bid to retain their Premier League status going into next season. Preparation in terms of transfers for the new season has been ad hoc, with The Cherries waiting until August to pay a fee for anyone. After a massive overhaul in 2018 and a host of loans in Fulham's 2020 premiership season backfired, Silva will hope a mixture of the old and the new can keep his side out of the bottom three. The Cottagers and The Cherries have both been regulars in the Premier League in recent years, with Fulham known as a “yo-yo” club from the way they constantly go up and down between the divisions. Having had time to blood his team through a year in the Championship and having brought in defensive reinforcements, he will be hoping he can finally make Fulham’s status as a first division team stick. Fulham and Bournemouth are back in the big time after securing the automatic promotion spots in the Championship last season.
The Premier League returns for the 2022-23 campaign today and clubs will be looking to get off to a positive start on the opening weekend.

With Wesley Fofana also heavily linked with a move to Chelsea, Brendan Rodgers’ team seems to be looking over its shoulder after an already iffy 2021-22 season. - Brentford – 750-1 - Southampton – 750-1 - Wolves – 750-1 - Everton – 750-1 - Leeds United – 750-1
The new Premier League season is upon us, and we asked our wide team of writers, reporters and editors just what they think will happen at home and abroad.
It will be City in a canter and I suspect they might break that Champions League jinx for good measure. Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United will all be stronger, but still short of winning the title. Manchester City won the Premier League title last season, but to finish with just one trophy the campaign was seen as somewhat of a disappointment. The Dutchman needed the chance to completely remould a squad that slumped to United's worst-ever finish in the Premier League era last year; the three new recruits United have currently sourced will not cut it. I do fancy them to win a trophy though and they should retain their Champions League berth. The top four race looks tight with Arsenal much-improved and Manchester United entering a new era. Tottenham look strong under Antonio Conte but I struggle to see them keeping pace with City and Liverpool for a whole season. Manchester City look formidable - the only question mark is how their squad copes after returning from the World Cup. But with the depth they have available, it’s hard to see it being a major issue. While 99 goals last season was ridiculous, Haaland will lift Pep Guardiola's side to a new level and that's why they'll win the Premier League and Champions League. I've backed Manchester City to win another domestic treble. Manchester City have won four of the last five Premier League trophies and their dominance is showing no signs of waning. As far as the cups go, Arsenal are surely due an FA Cup after missing out for two whole seasons.
Manchester City defend the title, while Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest are back in the top flight.
Is Joelinton going to win player of the year? AP: Kevin De Bruyne. He’s been the best player in one of the best Premier League teams of all time, and it feels like he’s still not quite getting enough credit for that – somehow. More seriously, how teams like Brentford or Wolves look to potentially switch systems and still progress, and also how Steve Cooper – an England youth World Cup-winning manager, long touted as a top coach – fares in the top flight. MC: Kevin De Bruyne. Recovered from the signs of age, injury and fatigue to decide the title race last season. I’d be curious as to the future of Ralph Hassenhuttl, for example, and it’s for that reason I’m going for Southampton, Everton and Bournemouth. KJ: Jesse Lingard. Much like his loan move to West Ham triggered a reaction, consistent minutes under Steve Cooper will see the ex-Man Utd playmaker as Forest’s focal point, both on the pitch and the terraces. KM: Kevin de Bruyne or Thiago Alcantara. One of the two midfield schemers will be the difference between tired draws and vital wins during a relentless season. Out of all the promoted teams, Bournemouth feel less well-equipped to cope with the jump up. A first full season of Antonio Conte should guarantee at least fourth for Tottenham. The last spot is harder to nail down. Chelsea’s mini-rebuild has left a lot of questions but you expect that in the end, Thomas Tuchel will have enough answers. JB: Manchester City, Tottenham, Arsenal. The signings of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus are smart buys that can help Mikel Arteta’s side take the next step. Karl Matchett: Liverpool. The attack is now a slightly smaller group, but all of a more even (read: higher) level of quality.
The Premier League is back and starting a week earlier than usual due to the mid-season disruption caused by the inaugural World Cup in Qatar.
DK: Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Brentford, Fulham. Spurs are well-placed to push on and Chelsea still boast impressive squad depth, despite being in transition. MO: Liverpool, City, Tottenham, Arsenal. I’d be pretty confident on the top three. DK: A multi-team title race. I do think Arsenal will have a better chance of disrupting it than Manchester United. Chelsea could sneak into the top four. It’s possible but they’ll have enough to stay up. Will Brentford suffer second-season syndrome? NK: A visit to the City Ground. It will be raucous after 23 years away from the top-flight. Perhaps it is wishful thinking but a mid-season World Cup could shake up the established order in the second half of the campaign and create a three-or four-team title race. The signing of the season will be... SC: City, Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal. The top two are a cut above the rest, but the battle for third and fourth will be close. There doesn’t appear to be much to separate a chasing pack that includes the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham, while another new era begins under Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. Fulham and Bournemouth have both made swift returns to the top-flight, while Nottingham Forest are back at this level for the first time in 23 long years.
The 2022-23 season promises migraine-inducing kits, a host of inspirational quotes and the return of a breakdancing badger.
There’s a top-flight bow for Robin Hood, Forest’s mascot since 2018 – successor to Sherwood Bear, who oversaw their 1999 relegation. “The Premier League Flight features Aerowsculpt technology, All Conditions Control (ACC) technology and 3D-printed ink overlay which fine-tunes ball flight.” That means it has a pattern. A sluggish sort of summer for lawmakers. Nike unveiled the new Nike Premier League Flight in June, made of 37% synthetic leather and 63% PR fluff. Sold at the time as a short-term Covid welfare measure, it was never going to be permanent – because a permanent change would favour the rich clubs, and that’s not what the Premier League is about. So here we are then, two years later, with a new permanent five subs rule – up to five changes made at three points in the game, plus half-time, from nine options on the bench.
It's the opening day of 2022/23 Premier League season, here's how you can follow all the football in 4K HDR.
The third option is Prime Video, and with the World Cup starting in November 2022 and continuing into December, their schedule has changed. The second option is BT Sport. BT doesn’t have as many matches as Sky, but has been producing 4K HDR football programming for longer. Here’s our guide on how to watch the Premier League in 4K HDR for what’s left of the 2021/22 season. We’ll have to wait and see until a ball has been kicked in anger before we get a sense of what Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur can do, but they’re both heading into the season with positive vibes. It’s been a summer of change for Chelsea and Man Utd; new ownership in the case of the former and new management for the latter. Liverpool took City down to the last match of the season, and we’re expecting those two teams to be favourites for the trophy this season.
Erling Haaland, Darwin Nunez, Raheem Sterling, Richarlison, Gabriel Jesus, Kalvin Phillips, Christian Eriksen, Jesse Lingard, Julian Alvarez - the list is ...

Oddsmakers have pegged the quest for the Premier League title as a two-horse race between Manchester City and Liverpool.
Man United's preseason title odds are the longest they've been in over a decade, according to sports betting archive SportsOddsHistory.com. Liverpool, though, finished just one point behind and notched a victory over Man City last week in the FA Community Shield. Tottenham, at +1,400, and Chelsea, at +1,600, are next but are a ways down oddsboards.
Crystal Palace and Arsenal will kick off the new campaign at Selhurst Park, before the remaining 18 teams compete in their opening fixtures across the weekend.
The loss of Yves Bissouma and Marc Cucurella will have a big impact on Graham Potter’s side and I just can’t see them being good enough for their trip to Old Trafford. While the Red Devils still have a number of signings they need to make, their team is definitely strong enough to beat the Seagulls and I can’t see Erik ten Hag slip up in his first match. While the trio are unlikely to have left before this weekend’s fixtures, it will definitely have a big impact on their performance and it is unclear whether the players will feature at the King Power Stadium. I think it will be a tight game and I definitely don’t think the Cherries have a strong enough squad to break Villa down, but they may well claim their first point since promotion. Crystal Palace will undoubtedly have a good season but I think it will take them a while to get into it, with Cheick Doucoure likely to shine in the second half of the campaign. Arsenal are once again featuring in the first match of the season and this time they will want to avoid the humiliation of defeat.
Former Chelsea and Arsenal attacker Willian could be in line for a shock return to the Premier League this summer.
Erling Haaland to flop? Spurs to challenge? According to Goal.com, he – somewhat surprisingly – still has suitors in the Premier League and has held talks with Fulham over an unlikely return to London.

Erling Haaland to flop? Spurs to challenge? - Manchester United vs Brighton – 2pm on Sky Sports
Can Arsenal avoid kicking things off with another loss in London? And can Manchester City beat traditionally tricky opponents West Ham?
The summer arrival of Diego Carlos in defence should make them a tougher nut to crack. Welcome back to the Premier League, Fulham fans. He had little choice, with five loanees featuring in their play-off final win over Huddersfield. Vieira certainly has plenty of credit in the bank among Palace fans. Twelve months ago Sky also kicked off with Arsenal away to London neighbours and they were pretty dreadful in a 2-0 loss at Brentford. Adult tickets in home sections were priced £90 and £100 for this game.

Six contenders (more or less) and five story lines (plus a few extra) as the new season kicks off with everyone chasing Manchester City (again).
That leaves, perhaps, West Ham — bolstered by a couple of smart additions — as the only viable candidate. But it is a curious progress, one tempered by the fact that United does not appear to have a list of recruits beyond players ten Hag knew and liked and undercut by the Ronaldo saga. Whether any team can emerge from the pack, though, is a different matter. In what may have been the purest distillation of modern soccer imaginable, Cristiano Ronaldo received a rapturous reception upon his return to Old Trafford last weekend. Not one ready to challenge City or Liverpool, perhaps, but one that could end the club’s long exile from the Champions League. Manchester City will win it, as it has four of the past five editions, and it will most likely do so by seeing off a spirited but ultimately futile challenge from Liverpool. Although, this time, there is just one small caveat.

Providing he remains a Manchester United player beyond the summer transfer window, then Cristiano Ronaldo must always be classed as a Golden Boot contender. That would be some going, especially with Kane as his team-mate and Richarlison joining the fold at Spurs as well. His Premier League best is 14 goals in 2019-20, but a 20-goal haul does not look beyond him. Kane is on 183 Premier League goals heading into the new campaign, and the three-time Golden Boot winner has the 200-mark in his sights this season. Away from the Manchester City bench and into the Arsenal starting line-up as their first-choice No 9. That does not mean there won’t be goals, but rather it is difficult to confidently predict how they will be shared out.
The most prominent alteration concerns substitutions, with managers of all 20 sides able to make five changes to their team during matches from this season ...
I will demand, if the people allow, we have to come back to five substitutions. But it’s not just bosses high up the table who are in favour. “All around the world it’s five substitutions, but here we believe we are more special people,” Guardiola said at the end of 2020. “It’s clear to me that the number of games being played is directly affecting players’ health and wellbeing. “We don’t protect the players, and that’s why it’s a disaster. “So it gives them more leeway.”
The Premier League is now the kingmaker of European football, its money flowing across the continent: This season will be bigger than ever before.
These are the questions that the world is asking. The economic gap between the Premier League and Championship grows every season. The Premier League was not weakened by the global financial and health crisis; it was strengthened. Within the Premier League, there are obvious stratas that are, to an extent, also governed by financial strength. It has the most money and so attracts the best players and coaches, which increases the value of the product and therefore the earning power; the cycle begins again. In 2020, when the revenues of football clubs were decimated by Covid-19’s financial impact, there was much discussion of whether the Premier League was recession-proof.

THE PREMIER LEAGUE new season officially got underway last night with a host of matches throughout Saturday, starting with Liverpool's trip to Fulham.
Arsenal were fortunate towards the end of the first half not to go in level though with Aaron Ramsdale pulling off an impressive save. And Bukayo Saka's deflected cross-cum-shot ended up securing all three points for the Gunners to give them the perfect start. It was Gabriel Martinelli who grabbed the season's first goal though as he nodded in from close range after Oleksandr Zinchenko smartly headed back into the danger zone. Hello and welcome to the first Saturday of the new Premier League season. THE PREMIER LEAGUE new season officially got underway last night with a host of matches throughout Saturday, starting with Liverpool's trip to Fulham. The wait is finally over for Premier League football fans as the new season got underway last night with Arsenal pulling off a hard-fought 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Darwin Nunez, however, will make his Premier League debut, while Alisson Becker returns. We are humans, but I didn't see it distracting him a lot to be honest. New signings Darwin Nunez and Fabio Carvalho should feature in the capital. Marco Silva took Fulham back up into the top flight in style but has repeatedly stressed during pre-season his concerns over the strength of the playing squad. Live stream: BT Sport subscribers will be able to watch the game online through the BT Sport website and app. Long may it continue."
Jack Grealish arrived with bells and whistles a year ago for twice the money and struggled to impose his game on the City aesthetic. Haaland is a less ...
The additions of Diaz in January and Nunez early in the summer window exemplify a club operating at a considerable organisational peak. Until United rose from the tragedy of Munich to win the European Cup a decade later in 1968 and Liverpool went ape in the 70s, the deficit to the red dynasties was never so great. The reputational deficit reached its nadir in 1999 when United scored twice in injury time to win the European Cup, whilst City did likewise four days later to force extra time after falling two down to Gillingham with three minutes of the play-off final remaining, and ultimately gained promotion from the third tier of English football. Only in 2019/2020 when Liverpool closed a 30-year chasm between titles, and the following season when Virgil van Dijk topped a crippling inventory of injuries, did the two separate themselves by wide margins. Since Guardiola arrived in the summer of 2016, seven months after Jurgen Klopp replaced Brendan Rogers at Anfield, City and Liverpool have accrued more than 500 Premier League points each, 536/508. Chelsea, who have had four coaches in the same period, are the nearest challengers with 442 points in the past six seasons. How Pep Guardiola integrates Haaland into the City machinery is one of the intriguing features of the new campaign.
A look at which Liverpool players may be available in the squad in the Premier League opener against Fulham today.
Left-back Kostas Tsimikas will also be missing from the squad through injury. Klopp has confirmed that defender Ibrahima Konate will miss the start of the season after suffering a knee injury in the friendly against Strasbourg last week. As things stand, Liverpool will be without Diogo Jota after he suffered a reoccurrence of a hamstring injury picked up on international duty with Portugal. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also out for a number of months with a serious injury to his hamstring.
