It's in Liverpools hands but they face the most in-form team in the league next, followed by the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. The question is will it still be in their hands next Wednesday?

    The premier league is back!!!! What an exhilarating round of fixtures filled with tension and jeopardy akin to that of a final this is why we love the beautiful game. As report cards go for the first installment of which 37 more will follow, I have 3 broad strokes that paint the entire league. Moved: Newcastle are the real deal. Man City are sleepwalking to a fourth title Arsenal - same solid Machine. Wolves can play Solid : Bournemouth will be alright Liverpool and Chelsea are nearly there but not quite. Palace, Brentford, Fulham, West Ham, Brighton (that's it nothing more nothing less) Burnley, Spurs - Kompany and Ange need to learn quick Scary hours : Villa's injuries to key players worry me. Sheffield are rivaling Derby's record of 10 points in the league. Luton. Everton needs to spawn a striker ASAP.
