Premier League 2025/26 crystal ball: Liverpool reigns, Big Six shake-up, and relegation battles incoming! Tim Sherwood's take + top 10 weekend watches. Agree or nah? ⚽ #PLPredictions

1. Liverpool Begin Title Defence in Emotional Anfield Night

The champions return to action on Friday night, hosting Bournemouth under the Anfield floodlights. It’s more than just a season opener—Liverpool will honour the late Diogo Jota with a moving tribute, retiring his No. 20 shirt and playing with “Forever 20” across their kits. New signings Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike are set for debuts, while Bournemouth will aim to spoil the occasion with their high-energy pressing game.


2. United vs Arsenal – Early Heavyweight Clash

Old Trafford will be buzzing on Sunday afternoon when Manchester United host Arsenal in one of the biggest fixtures of the weekend. Both sides have strengthened heavily—United adding Benjamin Šeško, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha, while Arsenal bring in Viktor Gyökeres, Martin Zubimendi, and Noni Madueke. An early statement win here could set the tone for a title challenge.


3. Three Historic Clubs Return

Leeds United, Sunderland, and Burnley are back in the Premier League after winning promotion last season. Leeds open at home against Everton, Sunderland face West Ham, and Burnley travel to Tottenham. The atmosphere in each of these matches is expected to be electric as fans celebrate their club’s top-flight return.


4. Wall-to-Wall TV Coverage

The new broadcast deal means even more live games for fans. Sky Sports will show at least 215 matches this season, while TNT Sports adds another 52. The action begins Friday and runs right through to Monday night, with every day delivering a headline fixture.


5. New Season, New Tech

This season introduces semi-automated offside technology for faster and more accurate decisions. The league is also testing Ref-Cam in select matches, giving viewers a rare first-person look at the game. Meanwhile, Puma takes over from Nike as the official match ball supplier after a 25-year run.


6. Transfer Frenzy and Managerial Shake-Ups

Over £2 billion has been spent this summer, with Liverpool topping the charts at £253 million. Newcastle landed Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa for £40 million, while Tottenham replaced Ange Postecoglou with Thomas Frank. Brentford appointed Keith Andrews, ushering in a new era at the club.


7. Title Race Under Global Pressure

While the Premier League remains the world’s most-watched league, its dominance faces new challenges from the expanded UEFA Champions League and revamped Club World Cup. This could add strain on top clubs and deepen the fight for domestic glory.


8. Fantasy Football Fever

Fantasy Premier League managers have until 8 pm on Friday to finalise their squads. Early tips: pick nailed-on starters, favour attacking players from strong sides, and keep funds flexible for future price rises.


9. Predictions and Players to Watch

  • Liverpool vs Bournemouth – Liverpool favourites, but Bournemouth’s press could cause trouble.
  • Man City vs Wolves – City expected to win comfortably.
  • Man United vs Arsenal – Tight, possibly a one-goal game.
  • Spurs vs Burnley – Tottenham tipped to edge it.

Key players to watch include Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah, Bukayo Saka, and debutant Florian Wirtz.


10. Season Timeline and Format

The 2025–26 season runs from 15 August 2025 to 24 May 2026, with 380 fixtures spread over 33 weekend rounds and 5 midweek rounds. Notably, there are no Boxing Day games—festive fixtures begin on December 27.
