The exiting Action packed football weekends are back on our screens with the world's most popular league, The English Premier league 2024 /25 season officially kicking off tonight.

Manchester united will look to rebuild their glory as they open their campaign against Fulham on Friday 10:00PM at Old Trafford.

For a team that produced one of their worst ever performance last season. United are in a mission to re-ignite hope to their fans as they look to explore their new players with the Likes of Mathjias De Light, Mazhroui and Joshua Zirkzee.

United's manager Eric Ten Hag, however thinks that the red devils are not adequately prepared for the new season as they come limping from a community shield defeat to Manchester City last weekend. Ten Hag in a press conference admitted that his squad is not yet 'cooked' and would need more preparation to reach a competitive level.

All eyes will be on back to back runners up, Arsenal, who have had a tough task to dethrone reigning champions Manchester city with no Sucess.

The Gunners have however sharpened their tools with new players including Ricardo Calafiori from Bologna. Their defense will be more rigid not forgetting that the gunners conceded the least goals last season.

Mikel Arteta is a man on the mission, who believes that his 'Project' is now ready to deliver titles to reselient gooners, who have been on a long 24-year wait for a Premier league silverware. Arsenal will open their campaign against Wolves at Emirates on Saturday 17th.

2019 Champions Liverpool, who are still adapting to life without Jurgen Klopp, are hoping that Arne Slot will be a restart of new glory at Anfield. The Reds have had disappointing results in the last two seasons only winning the Carabao cup and FA cup, but their thirst for a first Premier league title since 2019 has risen.

Slot's boys will begin their campaign against newly promoted Ipswich Town on Saturday.

Unai Emery has every ambition to retain his perfect reputation at the club, having successfully led Villa to it's first champions league return in more than two decades. 

Villa who finished on the best four last season have every intention to retain the same level, but this time without key players like Brazilian Douglas Luiz who joined Juventus on a multi-million fee. 

Villa are hoping that their 'hitman' Olie Watkins will come back on fire against West Ham on Saturday and successive fixtures. It will not be an easy task against the Hammers who have been very busy on the transfer market winning the services of Niklas Fullkrug, Summerville and Aaron Wan Bissaka. 

Everton will battle Brighton at Goodison Park on Saturday while Bournemouth will have to do it without Dominic Solanke as they seek to overcome Nottingham Forest, away on Saturday. Solanke who was amongst best scorers in the Premier League last season, joined spurs on a club record fee. 

Sunday will be a blockbusters as Defending Champions Manchester city will open their campaign against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. City who released Argentine foward Julian Alvarez to Athletico Madrid, seeks to prevail against a team that has bought 12 players on the transfer Window. 

Chelsea's Enzo Maresca who was an assistant manager to pep Guardiola before joining Leicester city, leading them to the Championship trophy then later joined Chelsea, has everything to prove that he is the right man for the job at a club with little patience for quick Sucess. 

Many will also be looking into Cole Palmer's performance into the new season and alot is expected from him, a player who contributed the most goals last season scoring 22 and assisting 11, which helped him win the PFA player of the season and Premier league Young player of the season. 

The last game of the weekend presents a classical match as Tottenham welcome EFL champions Leicester city back to the Premier league. Dominic Solanke looks to begin his new adventure at spurs. 

Manchester City are seen as the favourites of the Premier league title but with the strong preparations from other clubs, a tough competition is one to look out for.
