Man City's Oscar Bobb has broken a bone in his leg and will be out for at least three months.
They discovered it during the recovery swim when all he could do was bob

It all kicks off this evening with Man Utd- Fulham.
Anyway, my predictions of what the table will look like at the end of the season:
- Arsenal
- Man City
- Spurs
- Liverpool
- Aston Villa
- Newcastle (Sounds like they are in for Marc Guehi which might make them a top four club)
- Man Utd
- Chelsea
- West Ham
- Brentford
- Crystal Palace
- Brighton
- Fulham
- Wolves
- Leicester (but might be lower if they get points deduction for overspending)
- Notts Forest
- Everton
- Ipswich
- Bournemouth
- Southampton
-
Hard to bet against City really. I'd go:
City, Arsenal, Villa, United, Spurs, Chelsea, Newcastle, Liverpool ...... Ipswich, Brentford, Southampton.
Basically I think Villa are going to keep going, United to bounce a bit, Liverpool to struggle with an aging squad and a post-Fergie style post-Klopp. Chelsea will still be dogshit, but beat the lesser teams. Brentford golden run feels like it's done for me & as for mid-table, I have absolutely no idea.
Still feels too early to be back! Hell, it's 28 degrees here today & the kids still have 2.5 weeks of holidays to go!
What you can read into that is that Arsenal will walk the league, Brentford will do just fine Liverpool will be the closest challenger to the Arse.

Right, off to Charlton v Leyton Orient this morning, then off to West Ham v Aston Villa for the late game, then off to Brentford v Crystal Palace tomorrow. My first time in England.
Up the Villa!

I think he has 6 easy games so 6 wins will mean they will probably give him the job

@DaGrubster There's a lot of rumours going around that Pep Guardiola's already had talks with the FA about taking over when his Manchester City contract runs out in June.
Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Gary Neville have all said they've heard the rumours from good sources.
Lee Carsley will be a lot cheaper for the FA than Pep Guardiola's who is currently on £20 million a year with Man City.

But they might actually win something with Pep...

Man Amadou Onana is some player for Villa! Gives me Yaya Toure vibes. Ian Maatsen and Jacob Ramsey also made a big difference coming on too, and a Great finish from Jhon Duran to win the game, ironically against the side that he was trying to force a move too only a week ago.
Onto Arsenal next week, another fixture I will be attending.

A very promising start. The strongest Villa bench I can remember and an awesome debut from Onana. I loved his description of AVFC as "a big family club." He'll fit in very well and become a fan favourite at Villa Park very quickly.
A great save by Emi Martinez and a brave goal line clearance by Ezri Konsa saw us secure the three points.
Arsenal at home will be a test.
I'm hoping for an upgrade on Diego Carlos at right Centre Back before the transfer window ends and one more attacking player. Otherwise the squad looks very strong.
