Key events
The big preview piece. Pressure on forwards at Arsenal and Villa? More new arrivals around the Premier League? Sean Dyche under the pump already at Everton? Let’s take a look.
Preamble
Happy Friday, gang! The Premier League is well and truly back and with the summer transfer window drifting towards its final week too, there’s no shortage of juicy news bits to keep us all sated.
Something else rather shocking happened last night too – Chelsea won a game in straightforward fashion, even if it was against the equivalent of a League One side, meaning no disrespect to Swiss stragglers Servette FC.
The first week of the Premier League season was a tad underwhelming in my humble opinion, but this week we’ve got Brighton v Manchester United, Aston Villa v Arsenal and Wolves v Chelsea which could all provide some upsets. The Championship rarely disappoints either. Here, we’ll keep you across all the previews, press conferences and, of course, those precious pieces of transfer tittle-tattle. Probably some confirmed deals, too. Let’s go!
