Get ready for nine months of the likes of myself grumbling about dodgy food, travel woes, bad wifi and late re-writes. But even though we’re an insufferable bunch, the main thing about journalists afforded the privilege of watching and writing about Premier League football for a living is that we absolutely know what we’re talking about and offer a keen and insightful level of analysis. Right? Don’t pull that face, it’s not very becoming....

Elsewhere, Arsenal will take in a trip to Newcastle on the first Sunday of the new season, while arch-rivals Tottenham take on top-flight new boys Aston Villa 24 hours earlier. Sheffield United start life back in the big time away at Bournemouth on August 10, with Burnley hosting Southampton, Everton going to Crystal Palace, Leicester taking on Wolves and Watford welcoming Brighton to Vicarage Road. The big games will come thick and fast from that point....

Kante watches Leicester in Champions League Craig Shakespeare knew his side needed to score following their 2-1 defeat in the first leg, and in keeping with the counterattacking style that won them so many plaudits in 2015-16, those dogs of war were again unleashed. Gone are the days of uncertainty and lethargy under Claudio Ranieri that dogged them for much of the season. This is the new Leicester – same as the old Leicester....

Denmark forward Poulsen is the longest-serving player in the first-team squad at the Red Bull Arena, having joined ahead of the 2013-14 season when Leipzig were in Germany’s third tier. The 25-year-old has made 10 of his 21 Bundesliga appearances this term from the bench, jostling for position in a squad packed with attacking talent under Julian Nagelsmann. Last month, Sport Bild claimed Poulsen was frustrated and eyeing a post-season exit due to his lack of regular starts, and the article touted Everton, Newcastle United and West Ham as being among his admirers....

In case you didn’t know… Spurs have spent just over £1bn on their new 62,062 capacity stadium on the site of their old White Hart Lane ground, but despite nearly half of that amount being spent in 2017/18, the majority of it has been financed by loans. Tottenham’s big profit was caused by 3 major factors; a full season of playing at Wembley, which boosted matchday turnover from £45m to £71m, reaching the knockout stages of the Champions League, a feat worth £53m, and improved commercial income of £109m....

On Sunday, May 22, the final matchday of the season provided incredible drama. The Premier League title, the European places, and the relegation battle all saw dramatic conclusions to the campaign. In fact, the end to the 2021-22 season was the first in Premier League history where every single table position could potentially change heading into the final matchday. At the top, Manchester City saw a dramatic three-goal comeback to win the title, despite at times looking like Liverpool had the trophy in their grasp....

However many a time this has lead to a reduction in the number of home-bred players in teams that aim to be in the top four of the league. There have been some exceptional British players playing in the top teams; Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Paul Scholes, Wayne Rooney, Gareth Bale, to name a few. Although there were good British players, especially English, in the English Premier League teams, the national sides never really dominated because of the lack of a strong British core of the teams in the league....

The Premier League clubs, especially, might want to make the best use of the winter market as Liverpool seem to be running away with the league midway through the season. So, without further ado, here are the best transfer stories of the day in the Premier League… #5 CSKA chief wants Everton player After sealing a yearlong loan deal at CSKA, Croat winger Nikola Vlasic has been in good form for the Russian giants....

The red devils survived a late surge from the Foxes and took home all the three points which where there, up for grabs. The world cup winning Frenchmen Paul Pogba started the scoring at 3 minutes, netting home from the spot. He started with the captain’s armband suggesting he would be sharing responsibilities in Manchester United’s season. Leicester City were trailing by 2-0 thanks to Luke Shaw’s second goal. Jamie Vardy scored in the injury time to make the United fans wait until the final whistle....

Teacher Tanya Curry faced an emergency when her five-year-old son Ayden swallowed a small, round battery and had to go to the hospital. But Curry, who was already preparing to begin the school year virtually at Guilford County Schools, continued teaching her students from the hospital room while helping her son recover. Curry told KETV: “My family comes first, but because we’re remote I was able to fulfill both [roles] at one time....

So did his Dallas teammates with the UFC star watching after some pregame pumping up. Prescott threw two touchdown passes to Cole Beasley for a big halftime lead and rushed for a career-high 82 yards with another score in the Cowboys’ 40-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. “It’s definitely the best we’ve played from executing on offense and taking advantage of when the defense is giving us turnovers and good field position,” Prescott said....

Although UEFA praised the “exemplary” behaviour and excellent atmosphere that Barcelona’s supporters helped to create in the final of last season’s Champions League in Berlin, they nevertheless fined the club as some sections of supporters displayed the pro-Catalan independence flag during the game, reports Xinhua. Despite the flag not being illegal, UEFA punished Barcelona under their rule 16.2 which states “clubs and associations are responsible for the inappropriate behaviour of their supporters and can be the object of disciplinary measures, even though they can show they were not negligent in their organisation of the game”....

The committee of 100 was formed just over a decade ago by architect I.M. Pei, Yo-Yo Ma, Shirley Young and a few dozen other notable Chinese-Americans; over the years it has grown to a bit over one hundred members, all variously distinguished in their fields and committed to improving Sino-US relations. The conference topics ranged from culture to geopolitics-but much of the focus was on business and technology. That’s not surprising: In the midst of the US and European slowdown, you can’t attend a business gathering these days without hearing about the importance of the Chinese market, especially in high technology....

Preauricular Pit Symptoms A preauricular pit or opening is the beginning of a sinus tract that weaves itself underneath the skin of the ear. Sometimes the tract is short and other times it can be long with multiple branches coming off and zigzagging throughout the ear tissue. It may appear only on one side or on both. While this sinus tract and pit are not supposed to be there (it’s a congenital defect), the good news is that in most instances, the pit is benign (harmless), isn’t associated with other medical issues, and is generally not something to worry about....

Nashville became the first NHL team to clinch a playoff berth Friday, doing so in a 4-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche. Colton Sissons scored twice and Juuse Saros made 33 saves to lead the NHL’s hottest team to its 13th win in its last 14 games. The Predators (47-14-10) have used that hot streak to climb up the NHL standings and now lead the league with 104 points. They have opened a 10-point advantage in the Central Division over second place Winnipeg and sit four points above the Eastern Conference leading Lightning with 11 games to play....

With their transition to being one of the best sides in the world, it won’t be a total surprise for any of us, that the Reds have a lot on stake. Given the fact that their participation in the Champion’s League, the EFL cup and the Premier League has had a toll on their upcoming fixtures, Liverpool’s schedule for this month won’t be easy. From Tottenham Hotspur to Paris-Saint-Germain, Jurgen Klopp has a lot on his plate....
