A season of drama awaits as Premier League kicks off
The Straits Times
|August 10, 2025
The 2025-26 English Premier League season kicks off on Aug 15 with holders Liverpool going up against Bournemouth at Anfield.
From the Reds' shopping spree to nearly-men Arsenal, and Ruben Amorim's task at Manchester United, The Sunday Times looks at what fans can expect in the upcoming season.
CAN CHAMPIONS LIVERPOOL RETAIN THEIR TITLE?
The shadow of Diogo Jota's death casts a shadow over the Premier League champions. That will be a test of Arne Slot's man-management, a rare and unfortunate discipline to meet. Jota can never be forgotten but football waits for nothing, and Slot has bought a fresh attacking line-up, with the promise of Alexander Isak to come. A defence where Virgil van Dijk will be accompanied by fresh faces in Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong and with no fixed central partner is the main on-field question against Liverpool, beyond Mohamed Salah's Africa Cup of Nations assignment in mid-season.
IF ANYONE CAN REVIVE CITY, GUARDIOLA IS THE MAN
