The talking points ahead of the Premier League’s first full round of games
Manchester pair seek to start with a win after sitting out the first weekend.
Four clubs make their return to Premier League action as the second weekend of the season gets under way.
Here, the PA news agency looks at five of the main talking points.
Can Manchester United start with a bang?
Can Manchester City start as they mean to go on?
Like United, Pep Guardiola’s men also got an extra week’s rest after their European exertions. The wounds of Manchester City’s shock Champions League quarter-final exit to Lyon remain raw, so too the way Liverpool romped to the title last term. Ferran Torres and Nathan Ake have arrived to bolster their star-studded squad ahead of a new season that begins away to Wolves on Monday evening. Guardiola has had to deal with off-field issues of his own, including Phil Foden’s Iceland indiscretion, and will be wary of the threat posed by Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.
Can Chelsea give Liverpool the Blues?
Will Leeds win their first Premier League match since 2004?
Can Tottenham deal with the unrelenting schedule?
