There has been a change to the penalty rule for the Premier League 22/23 season – which may catch some goalkeepers. Scroll down below to find out more.
This has been brought in to make the penalty kick as fair as possible for the taker. With VAR apparent in the league now as well, this can be spotted very easily. The law still requires a keeper to have at least part of one foot on or above the line until the moment the spot-kick is taken.
Arsenal look to avoid another opening-day stinker, Everton look toothless and will Jürgen Klopp start Darwin Núñez?
This has been a difficult summer for Leicester. Kasper Schmeichel has left, the futures of Wesley Fofana and James Maddison are up in the air, and the Foxes are the only Premier League club yet to sign a player. A club close to qualifying for the Champions League in 2020 and 2021 found last season did not go entirely to plan, with Brendan Rodgers’ side finishing eighth, six points off a Europa League place. A lot of it is centred around the incisiveness of Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio on the counter, and while West Ham looked short of creativity during pre-season that is likely to be less of a problem against City. After all, David Moyes will not be making plans for his team to dominate possession. The Portuguese’s decision to go awol was surely premeditated as a latest ploy in the push to leave a club there is supposedly adoration for. Erik ten Hag’s first Manchester United XI for a Premier League game is not expected to include Cristiano Ronaldo due to the wantaway striker’s lack of match-fitness. After hosting Aston Villa, Bournemouth next travel to Manchester City before facing Arsenal at home and Liverpool at Anfield. A point at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday may be necessary to avoid the ominous prospect of losing their first four league games and seeing their survival hopes potentially begin to wash away along the south coast by the end of August. Villa fans will be expecting greater things than last season’s 14th place, and if Steven Gerrard’s players are intent on making large strides up the table, picking up three points in games like this should be a must in their hunt for a first top-half finish since promotion in 2019. Conte’s system is based on getting the best out of his front men, and Kane intends to embrace the expectations. When he was denied his wish, he laboured, scoring only one league goal before the middle of December. He rediscovered his groove under Conte, who joined at the start of November, to finish with 17 in the competition and he carries momentum into the opening game against Southampton, having had a proper pre-season this time. Instead the 30-year-old has made it crystal clear he intends to be playing the first-team football that will all but guarantee him a place on England’s World Cup bound flight to Doha in November. Accordingly the consensus is that Howe will start Pope ahead of Dubravka on Saturday. That, in turn, is set to upset the Slovakia goalkeeper and his agent, who has reiterated that his client is too good to be anyone’s understudy. If pre-season is a time for optimism, it has been particularly pronounced at Tottenham. First Antonio Conte committed to the project, then the club made quick and targeted signings. The goalscorer is gone, the England international is out injured for the next six weeks and Rondón is suspended. The Uruguay forward started on the bench when Liverpool beat City in the Community Shield last weekend, but he appeared to be on the same wavelength as his new teammates after coming on in the second half.

Working in England’s top tier of football has always been a high pressure situation, with managers losing jobs at the slightest hint of non-performance. Palace easily defeated the opposition in the previous season by a 3-0. Richarlison, Ivan Perisic, and Yves Bissouma, a seasoned Croatian player, and other players with Premier League experience have all been added by Tottenham. Since Patrick Vieira, a fantastic player at Arsenal, is in the leadership of the Palace team, Arsenal followers will see him on the opposing side. The world's most popular football league will kick off at Selhurst Park when Crystal Palace hosts Arsenal this weekend. Erling Haaland's deal to join Manchester City has been one of European football's most frequently discussed moves this summer.

Fulham and Bournemouth are back in the big time after securing automatic promotion from the Championship last season, while Nottingham Forest return after a ...
The Reds have thrown financial caution to the wind to become one of the summer’s big spenders in a bid to retain their Premier League status going into next season. Preparation in terms of transfers for the new season has been ad hoc, with The Cherries waiting until August to pay a fee for anyone. After a massive overhaul in 2018 and a host of loans in Fulham's 2020 premiership season backfired, Silva will hope a mixture of the old and the new can keep his side out of the bottom three. The Cottagers and The Cherries have both been regulars in the Premier League in recent years, with Fulham known as a “yo-yo” club from the way they constantly go up and down between the divisions. Having had time to blood his team through a year in the Championship and having brought in defensive reinforcements, he will be hoping he can finally make Fulham’s status as a first division team stick. Fulham and Bournemouth are back in the big time after securing the automatic promotion spots in the Championship last season.

It's the opening day of 2022/23 Premier League season, here's how you can follow all the football in 4K HDR.
The third option is Prime Video, and with the World Cup starting in November 2022 and continuing into December, their schedule has changed. The second option is BT Sport. BT doesn’t have as many matches as Sky, but has been producing 4K HDR football programming for longer. Here’s our guide on how to watch the Premier League in 4K HDR for what’s left of the 2021/22 season. We’ll have to wait and see until a ball has been kicked in anger before we get a sense of what Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur can do, but they’re both heading into the season with positive vibes. It’s been a summer of change for Chelsea and Man Utd; new ownership in the case of the former and new management for the latter. Liverpool took City down to the last match of the season, and we’re expecting those two teams to be favourites for the trophy this season.

It could be a tough start for Forest and they could finish anywhere from tenth in the league to dead last and it wouldn't be surprising to me. While he should score quite a few goals for the Hammers this season, I'd love to know the story that his tattoos have to tell. It will be another strong season for Salah and the Reds and while not attending the World Cup with Egypt will be a disappointment, it will also make for a strong second half of the season where Salah is rested while others aren't. With Christian Pulisic needing to fight for minutes at Chelsea, Chris Richards being in a similar position with Crystal Palace, and Antonee Robinson fighting an uphill battle with Fulham all eyes are on Leeds United's American duo of Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson. Adams is replacing Kalvin Phillips who moved on to Manchester City. Leeds need to fill the massive hole that he left in the squad and Marc Roca and Adams have been tasked with that. Coming off of a breakout year that saw him score 11 goals and assist seven more in Premier League play, Arsenal have surrounded Saka with more quality so that he can make the attack tick. Vieira is building something special in South London and Eze's performances will be at the center of making it work this season. Steve Cooper has a tough job getting their new signings to click, but it also has to be an easier job than last year when he took over the team during the season and got them promoted from the Championship. On paper, Forest have made impressive additions but they'll need to ensure that Taiwo Awoniyi and Brennan Johnson are supported well in the attack. The Premier League is back and with that, it's a good time to gaze into a crystal ball of what may happen in the league while everyone is still on level footing. The only players to best him in the past five seasons are Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane. Vardy is struggling with injuries while he ages while Kane is no longer the most feared attacker on Spurs as that title now shifts to Heung-Min Son who tied Salah for the Golden Boot last year. Sven Botman and Nick Pope are significant upgrades while making the addition of Matt Targett permanent is also a solid addition for them. The biggest point in Nunez's favor over the summer's more heralded move of Erling Haaland to Manchester City is that I see him getting more starts in an attack that can match City step for step. Even if he drifts out to the wing, Salah is able to fill the space in the middle, making Liverpool that much more dangerous.

West Ham vs Manchester City Manchester United vs Brighton Gabriel Jesus – Manchester City to Arsenal
The new Premier League season is upon us, and we asked our wide team of writers, reporters and editors just what they think will happen at home and abroad.
It will be City in a canter and I suspect they might break that Champions League jinx for good measure. Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United will all be stronger, but still short of winning the title. Manchester City won the Premier League title last season, but to finish with just one trophy the campaign was seen as somewhat of a disappointment. The Dutchman needed the chance to completely remould a squad that slumped to United's worst-ever finish in the Premier League era last year; the three new recruits United have currently sourced will not cut it. I do fancy them to win a trophy though and they should retain their Champions League berth. The top four race looks tight with Arsenal much-improved and Manchester United entering a new era. Tottenham look strong under Antonio Conte but I struggle to see them keeping pace with City and Liverpool for a whole season. Manchester City look formidable - the only question mark is how their squad copes after returning from the World Cup. But with the depth they have available, it’s hard to see it being a major issue. While 99 goals last season was ridiculous, Haaland will lift Pep Guardiola's side to a new level and that's why they'll win the Premier League and Champions League. I've backed Manchester City to win another domestic treble. Manchester City have won four of the last five Premier League trophies and their dominance is showing no signs of waning. As far as the cups go, Arsenal are surely due an FA Cup after missing out for two whole seasons.
Crystal Palace and Arsenal will kick off the new campaign at Selhurst Park, before the remaining 18 teams compete in their opening fixtures across the weekend.
The loss of Yves Bissouma and Marc Cucurella will have a big impact on Graham Potter’s side and I just can’t see them being good enough for their trip to Old Trafford. While the Red Devils still have a number of signings they need to make, their team is definitely strong enough to beat the Seagulls and I can’t see Erik ten Hag slip up in his first match. While the trio are unlikely to have left before this weekend’s fixtures, it will definitely have a big impact on their performance and it is unclear whether the players will feature at the King Power Stadium. I think it will be a tight game and I definitely don’t think the Cherries have a strong enough squad to break Villa down, but they may well claim their first point since promotion. Crystal Palace will undoubtedly have a good season but I think it will take them a while to get into it, with Cheick Doucoure likely to shine in the second half of the campaign. Arsenal are once again featuring in the first match of the season and this time they will want to avoid the humiliation of defeat.
Oddsmakers have pegged the quest for the Premier League title as a two-horse race between Manchester City and Liverpool.
Man United's preseason title odds are the longest they've been in over a decade, according to sports betting archive SportsOddsHistory.com. Liverpool, though, finished just one point behind and notched a victory over Man City last week in the FA Community Shield. Tottenham, at +1,400, and Chelsea, at +1,600, are next but are a ways down oddsboards.

“Financial Fair Play will impact us, will continue to impact us, I think, for a number of years,” said the Newastle manager. I will not be a person to stop a desire for the people. The player will have to talk to the club and I have never ever been involved in that.” “We’re not in that position and I don’t think we will be for some period of time. “I am delighted that is it is done, it is a really exciting challenge for me and the club,” Duffy told the Fulham website. By the way there is, I think, a side-debate to be had about another thing Tyler said earlier – “You have got to remember football was in a bit of a crisis at that time [of the Premier League’s creation].” Was football really in crisis in 1992? After six consecutive seasons of rising attendances, hooliganism on the wane, and the game already surfing a post-Italia 90 wave? Chelsea have confirmed the signing of the Brighton left-back on a six-year deal for £55m plus a potential £7m in add-ons. We feel already and the talks with the players, the excitement, which is normal and a good thing. This move will give him that opportunity, which is really important to him as the captain of the Republic of Ireland, and Fulham are getting a player who has great experience at this level.” Seagulls head coach Graham Potter is confident Duffy will benefit from regular game time with the Cottagers. “Shane has been an outstanding servant to this club, and is rightly held in high esteem by everyone here,” Potter told Brighton’s website. The FA has now charged Forest with a breach of Rule E20.

Leicester vs Brentford (2pm) Tottenham vs Southampton (3pm) Will it be Haaland vs Nunez for the Golden boot? Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest (3pm) Leeds vs Wolves (3pm) Bournemouth vs Aston Villa (3pm)
With the 2022-23 Premier League season upon us, let's check out the odds for the top and bottom of the league table.
For better or worse, the Premier League campaign is always a wild ride. He does give Fulham the third-worst odds of staying up (33%), but Leeds (23%) and Southampton (20%) aren’t far behind. Pointsbet gives Bournemouth the best odds of sinking back to the Championship; the Cherries are currently sitting at -200. This year, it seems like the three newest additions — Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, and Fulham — will only be making a brief cameo on the biggest stage. He ranked Pep Guardiola’s men as the best team in the BPL and gave them a 66% chance of lifting the trophy at the end of the campaign. That means fans around the world are about to strap into another 38-match roller coaster filled with the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, and, hopefully, some exciting football.

In the interest of transparency, I’m actually an Arsenal fan, so it pains me to say that the Gunners will once again finish shy of the Champions League places. Rather, I see Mikel Arteta going from strength to strength and Gabriel Jesus living up to expectations. So why am I predicting them to improve this season? However, for as long as there’s a slight chance that I’ve pulled off a minor miracle and people will start asking me for the lottery numbers, it’s going to be fascinating to watch yet another year of the world’s best league. The reality of the situation is that the ‘big six’ is so strong that it’s very easy to miss out and I’m not actually predicting Arsenal to have a bad season. There is, after all, a world in which Palace could go down this season. But all isn’t as it seems. You heard it here first. The 2022/23 Premier League season has officially arrived! Look, I’m a fan of Bruno Lage and think he has a lot of potential to be a great Premier League coach for years to come, but my nose tells me that there’s a tough, tough season on the horizon at Molineux. One of my more rebellious shouts, it must be said, because everybody seems to have the Toffees locked in for a place in the Championship, but I’m here to tell you that they’re going to surprise people in 2022/23. I really, really, really wanted to predict Fulham to stay up because the fact that the Cottagers seem to be playing switcheroo with Norwich City every season is a worrying sign of the cavity forming between the Championship and Premier League.

Fulham has made a habit of bouncing in and out of the world's richest soccer competition in recent years. Is there a business model in being almost good ...
(The lavish spree undertaken after promotion in 2020 backfired so spectacularly that the idea of recruiting too heavily in preparation for the Premier League has entered the lexicon as “ doing a Fulham.”) He is confident that he can avoid the same trapdoors. “There is a feeling that you have to over-invest,” he said. “The Championship is a great league,” Parry said. As ever, at the dawn of a new season, there is a conviction at Fulham that the cycle can be broken. He is not the only one caught in that same quandary. Nor is he merely something of a national hero, scorer of the goal that sent his country to the World Cup. What is noteworthy, though, is the scale of the drop-off. A player who was far too good for the Championship appeared to be not good enough at all for the Premier League. “It is better to be the mouse’s head than the lion’s tail.” The difference, of course, is the division where he finds himself. He is not simply a Serbian international, a fairly constant presence for his country for the better part of a decade.

We’ve done it and that is part of the mentality we want to build.” Arsenal were beaten 2-0 at Brentford on the opening night of last year’s season, which triggered their worst start to a league campaign for 67 years. “The win is the most important thing. Arsenal were guilty of causing their own problems in raising the Palace fans from their slumber as a clearance from Aaron Ramsdale was charged down and fortunately for the England goalkeeper rebounded to one of his own defenders.

The Premier League has also been working with referees to try and improve the amount of time the ball is in play during games. This wording has been made clearer to avoid the goalkeeper being penalised. It all depends on what clubs, broadcasters and the managers themselves want. The Premier League’s COVID-19 protocols had seen that ritual parked. There has also been a change to the rules concerning penalties and the position of the goalkeeper. A manager will then carry out a quick interview.
Fulham showed they don't want to be in the Premier League just to make up the numbers again as they drew 2-2 with Liverpool at Craven Cottage.
He is the first Liverpool player aged 23 years or younger to score in a Premier League season opener since Philippe Coutinho in 2015. The other was in 2006-07 when Liverpool drew 1-1 at Sheffield United and finished third. BEST: Aleksandar Mitrovic -- Can he finally do it in the Premier League? On this evidence, absolutely. "We got a point for a really bad game by my side, and now it's a question of how did it happen. Liverpool were much more threatening when he went off just before the hour mark. City have a tough-looking opener at West Ham United on Sunday, but they now have a chance to establish an early advantage over their closest rivals. Klopp was concerned about Liverpool's injury problems before kick-off -- Caoimhin Kelleher, Diogo Jota, Ibrahima Konate, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kostas Tsimikas and Curtis Jones are all unavailable -- and Thiago Alcantara may now be added to that list. It can only be a matter of time before he starts. But both moments were products of his movement and energy. This is the only the second time that Liverpool has started a Premier League season with a draw against a newly promoted side. LONDON -- Fulham showed they don't want to be in the Premier League just to make up the numbers again as they came close to beating Liverpool at Craven Cottage, with the game finishing as a 2-2 draw.. Aleksandar Mitrovic, who scored 43 goals in the Championship last season, showed that at the age of 27 he might finally be ready for the Premier League. After heading home the first goal, he then won and converted a penalty to make sure the home side collected a point.

Manchester City looks destined to win their third title in a row next year and has added immense quality to their team. The signings of Kalvin Phillips (Leeds), ...
Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic, Richarlison, and the permanent buy of Dejan Kulusevski improve Spurs immeasurably for the new season. But let's be honest, some players are not as bad as they showed last year. They will push City close, but City's millions and Pep's rigid structure will be too much, in my opinion. Nunez could go on to be a star like Mane was, but nobody, not even Klopp, can guarantee that outcome. Their moves in the market wouldn't move a feather on a windy day and with that they are destined to go straight back down to the Championship to become one of the best sides in the league again, just like Fulham and Norwich are. It's a long-term fix, and due to the quality of the players and the upturn which will happen, I think they will get Europa, but that could change if they bring more players in It's hard to see anything other than a City treble in May. For the reasons outlined above, I believe that Leeds will end up near the relegation places, and this will force the owners to act. Arsenal also looks like a side ready to hit the next step in the adventure under Mikel Arteta and Jesus, which I believe will be a massive part of that. Tuchel has looked like a tetchy figure in the preseason and looks like one of the prime candidates to leave his job this year. Liverpool must keep Thiago fit for the whole season for a title push. Chelsea and Manchester United have too much work to do, and I believe that Arsenal has a free run at the final spot in the top four.

But a point was the least Fulham deserved as they made a strong start in their bid to avoid relegation for a fourth consecutive season when in the top flight. Another long ball into the box towards Nunez caused panic in the Fulham defence and the ball eventually fell kindly to Salah to score on the opening weekend of the Premier League for a sixth consecutive season. Liverpool twice had to come from behind against newly-promoted Fulham to salvage a 2-2 draw in a pulsating start to the Premier League season on Saturday.

Dejan Kulusevski capped a stellar performance by slotting in the fourth two minutes later. "The start of the game was really bad from us," Klopp said. U.S international Brenden Aaronson played a key part in the winning goal as he rushed in to meet a cross from Patrick Bamford, although it was credited as an own goal by defender Rayan Ait-Nouri, who got a touch on the ball.
