This is Marcus Rastford and you're watching the our football match. It's been a few weeks, but it feels like only days,

and the Premier League's returning in a glorious blaze.

On Saturday it begins the hottest ticket in town,

as Liverpool begin the defence of that much coveted crown,

and yet the champions haven't added too much to their team.

Simicass in, but the fans continue to dream of Tiago, Bayern's Catalan heartbeat, to dance across

Anfield with twinkling feet, city in the market, they're on the attack with Ferran

on the wing and RK at the back. Pep still seething from the Champions League. A wounded

beast is dangerous indeed. And down at the bridge, Chelsea have had the summer of

their dreams. Havertz, Werner, Zietch all now reside in Wallham Green, but the best of West London

is dressed in white and black. Oh yes, ladies and gentlemen, my beloved Fulham are back. United

and Sancho, will it happen or not? Olli's at the wheel and he seems to have stopped the rot.

Pogba back on form and Bruno pulling strings,

Marshall through the middle, Rash and Mason on the wings.

An old rivalry renewed as back come mighty leads.

Their seat at the table covered in dust and weeds,

but in Marcelo Bielsa they have a savior at the helm.

Will he be enough?

Only time will tell.

There's a European race and a relegation

fight. The fans baying to return when the time becomes right. We're ready for the drama

for the various twists and turns. It's back, my friends. This week, the Premier League returns.
