Barclays Premier League 2015-16 Preview And Predictions
Will City-wounded animals after ceding their title last term-come back stronger under Manuel Pellegrini? Though both matches ended in a draw last season, the blue half of Merseyside have not experienced a win in their last nine Premier League meetings and have so far been very quiet in the transfer market.
The 28-year-old has impressed in pre-season, showing his talents from set pieces and in open play, and will have a big role to play as the London club look to end their stay at Upton Park on a high. Techworld recommends PlayTogga for hardcore fantasy football fans that want to do a draft pick (meaning no other player in their league will have the same players), or the official Barclays Premier League version, which is perhaps the most intuitive offering out there. With Swansea a notable exception, promoted clubs rarely do well playing free flowing attacking football in their first season in the Premier League. A full list of new emojis can be found here.
Ghana stars Christian Atsu and Jordan Ayew are set to go head-to-head in this clash between EPL new boys Bournemouth and Aston Villa, who will be hoping for brighter times under Tim Sherwood.
The best record amongst the division’s current sides when it comes to the season’s opener belongs to Chelsea.
Having defeated Chelsea in the Community Shield, Arsenal will head into the new campaign buoyant and surely optimistic about their chances of asserting themselves in the title race this season.
Now defunct side Wimbledon have the next best win ratio of sides to have played in five or more seasons in the league at 50%, followed by West Ham on 47%. No youngster dribbled past more defenders than Sterling last season.
Much like Coates, Robert Huth made a loan move permanent this summer, signing for Leicester prior to the appointment of new manager Claudio Ranieri. Pellegrini will surely be expecting the likes of Yaya Toure, Wilfried Bony and Sergio Aguero to make a statement against the Baggies, but could West Bromwich-who can boast Nigerian striking pair Ideye Brown and Victor Anichebe-upset the odds?
