The Premier League is back
The time has come. After a three month break, Premier League football has returned. How did we cope without it? The World Cup helped, I guess, but domestic football is now properly back. Hallelujah.
The Premier League kicks off tonight as Manchester United welcome Leicester City to Old Trafford.
United’s new arrival Fred starts alongside Andreas Pereira and Paul Pogba in midfield for the opening game of the season, while Luke Shaw is handed a start in defence.
The hosts line up with the following XI: De Gea, Darmian, Bailly, Linedlöf, Shaw; Pogba (c), Fred, Andreas Pereira; Mata, Alexis; Rashford.
