Fulham is back in the Premier League but having gone straight back down twice in succession, can manager Marco Silva end the streak and keep them up this time? Fulham’s last two promotions to the Premier League were followed by immediate relegation, so finishing in 17th place or higher in the standings would be viewed as a resounding success.
Liverpool has been fighting at the top of the Premier League standings in three of the last four years under manager Jurgen Klopp and this team fancies their chances of clinching a second Premier League title.
Liverpool pushed Manchester City all the way last season but ultimately fell short. It’s clear that fighting to win four competitions took a toll on them. Now Sadio Mane is out, which leaves a big hole to fill but Darwin Nunez is in. Nunez is one of the most exciting signing of the summer and they need him to hit the ground running.
