The EPL is coming back in a few week and its amazing that it wont take long and all this is just because of the Covid-19 lull. I have seen that the French League (League 1) is back and cant wait for the EPL to return. I am still loyal to Manchester City as my favorite team, and I hope they and Guardiola manage to secure the title for the umpteenth time for Manchester City.
When the competition has been running for 5 matches and so on, I think it will be seen what club that make improvements and changes in their team, but earlier they play well and continue to earn points will make their team more likely to win trophies.

I agree that Manchester City is getting old but I would not rule them out of the fight for the title.I think it depends how each team starts the Championship and how much motivated they are to keep going and fighting for the title.Errors are not permitted in the beginning games otherwise it will be impossible to catch Liverpool.
Seems about right, Man City are an ageing team though, I think they need more to take the title off Liverpool. David Silva is gone, they still haven’t replaced Kompany with a proper leader. Aguero is getting old as is Fernandinho. De Bruybe is the best player in the league though, will be a battle between the top 2.
They will become the next ac milan, barcelona, and manchester united in the future.
I mean, it is not about the trophy that they will get.
#NoOffenseBut, the struggle with their transition from a golden era.

It’s the Community Shield next weekend, Liverpool vs Arsenal. I’m looking forward to seeing how well prepared we are before we begin our title defence 
I was at Wembley last season with my Dad for LFC vs Man City in the Community Shield. We lost on penalties. Shame I can’t go next weekend, really sad I can’t go for the foreseeable future. Covid can kiss my ass!

How will it continue, without spectators?
There are ongoing talks in regards to allowing "only home fans" attending matches with 20-30% of the stadium's capacity starting October 3 [source]...- Looks like home advantage will get a significant boost this season.
Why not have 10% home and 10% away or something?
Seems fairer. I guess its the traveling they don't like.
Don't they know all Man United fans live in China. lol

as clubs tell supporters they could be welcomed back in October.
Until now nothing is official and all depends from the evolution of the situation. Having a home advantage is another issue especially when big teams face each other, they will whine about it for sure but will accept it in the end. Having some money is better than nothing! There has been a lot of positive news regarding next season that matches with spectators will be allowed, although officially it has
not been announced yet. But I am optimistic that this will become a reality, even if allowed, the number of spectators who attend is
limited and only from the home side only. So that home advantage can be felt again, especially if the big teams face each other, this
will add to the excitement of the match.

Premier league fixtures for next season is out. Games will start from 12 September. Man City and Utd are given late start due to their participation in European competitions. Decent fixtures in opening round but I am particularly looking forward to Liverpool vs Leeds.
I'm not. I don't think there could be a worse fixture for Leeds to open with... Maybe Man City away. They're playing City at home as their third game though so it's going to be a tough month for them. It's not going to do Leeds' confidence any good if they get spanked 3/4/5-0 which I could see happening at Anfield. The only thing I can see going in their favour is if Liverpool are a bit rusty and go into the game complacent. Happens to some big teams on the first game. Maybe Leeds can pick up some points from the other two games against Fulham and Sheffield, but they'll probably struggle at Sheffield away. Fulham is at home though.
Yeah, watching Leeds will be purely nostalgic for me but they really got the worse possible start to their season, be interesting to see how they'll take the approach. Probably try to get the draws and get past their tough start, preventing precisely the kind of humiliation that would really hang over their heads for weeks.
@SFR10 if those news are right, earliest for fans in stadiums is October so the season could even 5/6 games in before a home game becomes a real home game! Unfair advantage for the teams who'll have those fans? 30% is a third of the stadium and ONLY home? Seems unfair for teams who won't have home games in that period!
-Edit Liverpool 3-0 up in first friendly. Watching from lfctvgo and they look sharp (but Stuttgart aren't a big team *right now* so!)

Premier league fixtures for next season is out. Games will start from 12 September. Man City and Utd are given late start due to their participation in European competitions. Decent fixtures in opening round but I am particularly looking forward to Liverpool vs Leeds. Spurs vs Everton is also a good one.

My favorite team to watch will be WBA. Can't wait to see how will they cope in Premier league with Slaven as a coach. Back in Premier, but in a completely different position and much more limitations then what he had at West Ham. Bielsa with Leeds too, my favorite coach, hopefully they will be able to chip of some points from the big teams.

oh, seems like Leeds gonna have tough opening month. I only looked at the opening fixtures. I saw Leeds fans saying Leeds this and that ,Marcelo Biesla this and that after they won Championship so I want to see how they are gonna perform against big teams. Plus they have made a return to PL after 16 years so that makes it more interesting for me and watch them how they perform in this season now that they have made it.
I am gonna consider Blades match into as a tricky fixture. They are tough as we saw in last season. There have been a change for Blades - their goalkeeper Dean Henderson will be back at Man Utd as his loan with Sheffield United has expired.
@hilariousetc I don’t think that Liverpool will be rusty or even allow Leeds to get going in the game, because in my personal opinion they’ll attack right from the start, as they know that each and every point will matter if they wish to defend their newly won premier league title.
Also Arsenal are facing a tricky situation, as they’re up against Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United in their early games, and if they loose all the three games then it’ll be very difficult for them to finish in the top four once again.
