Tottenham will play 3 away matches in its first 4 and a single home match at Wembley against newly promoted Fulham. Then, they will open the new stadium on 9/15 against Liverpool.
That's gonna be a scene, man
Midfielder Riyad Mahrez going from Leicester City to Manchester City for 60 million pounds, a record for Manchester City.
Huge signing for us. Fantastic player who should thrive under Pep, and helps build depth which will be crucial if we want to repeat as Prem champs and make a serious UCL run.
Who's place will he take in the starting XI?
Chelsea have sacked Antonio Conte, paving the way for Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri to take the helm. Conte had previously refused to leave Stamford Bridge unless the final year of his contract was paid in full.
Helluva sum of money for a backup.I’m not sure he’ll be in the starting XI (at least at the start of the year). He’ll rotate on the wing with Sane and Sterling. I’d also imagine Bernardo will spend less time on the wing and more time centrally as Silva will likely get rested more often this year.
looks like everton has been making a lot of signings with tottenham yet to make even one!
Now on to Everton's fixtures, the opening draw they have is a very conducive one to rack up some points early. Their first 6 matches look like this:
-away to Wolverhampton Wolves
-vs. Southampton
-away to Bournemouth
-vs. Huddersfield Town
-vs. West Ham
-away to Arsenal
Aside from that last match at Arsenal, they face a newly promoted side and 4 teams that had the highest finisher of Bournemouth at 12th.
Toughest stretch in the schedule appears to be between December 15th and December 26th when they'll play away to Manchester City, host Spurs, and travel to Burnley.
Wolves aren’t just any newly promoted side though.
Wolves aren’t just any newly promoted side though. They ran away with the Championship last year and have added a bunch of nice pieces. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them finish 7-8th this season.
Well they’re even money in Vegas to finish top half so Vegas clearly wouldn’t be surprised.I'll be very surprised if they finish in the top half of the table.
