    We won't have to wait long until PL returns!


    Beautiful! Beautiful News!....I've always thought it would be sooner rather than later.

    I wondered if they would push it to late September/early October, but this was good news. The weeks from the end of the season to the start of the next will go by so fast.

    It was a fun game to watch even as a neutral. Won't be surprised if we see games like this one on Sunday either!

    Yeah, I think they're just raring to go.

    Yeah, it's very possible. Maybe Between Leicester and Manchester United.

    I wonder how it will be for the players to not have a regular break from football, but given they weren't able to play football until more recently, they are probably ready to just start again.

    That game will be one to keep an eye on. Both teams have everything to play for, and that might result in an entertaining match!

    Both games are massive for the clubs trying to get into the CL $$$$$$.
    It's like a relegation battle.

    Then there are the EL places.

    Also the real relegation battles games, down the bottom of the ladder, would be great to watch also.

    So many interesting games this weekend it's hard to pick one to watch as they are being played at the same time.

    I'll be watching on multiple screens if possible! Lot's of football to enjoy, and I'll definitely try and watch as much of it as I can.

    Arsenal-Watford for me (obviously), and maybe a game on a second screen. My gut feeling right now says Watford will win this, as Arsenal doesn't really have anything to play for.

    So many games on SKY, I have three screens TV and Two large stacked monitors in my lounge so I will probably have the Chelsea v Wolves game on also. I think Wolves are fully capable of beating Chelsea away.

    They're showing all the games over here, so I just have to pick the one(s) I think will be the most enjoyable. I'll likely pick a game that I have some interest in from a PL Fantasy perspective – like City-Norwich or Newcastle-Liverpool. Chelsea-Wolves is a good option too.

    Yeah, very tough match....it even feels like a match that's more suited to be a title decider.

    Agree with the top two places wrapped up weeks ago, it's the closest thing to a title decider.

    Hopefully City will get four or five goals, though I looked at the recent history and City v Norwich have not that high scoring.

    True...I worry for Arsenal. I know we have nothing to play for, but a win would help close-off the season on a high ahead of next season.

    I think it depends on the City lineup. if there's little rotation, I imagine there will be a lot of goals for City.

    Indeed, Arsenal could do with a good result at the end of the season, but Watford will no doubt make this game an ugly one.

    That's it. And the Troy Deeney feud is still ongoing....that adds an extra bite to the game.

    He's so heavily linked these days, that I'd be very disappointed if it doesn't happen. But the price tag Atletico are likely to set on him might make it difficult…

    Yeah, me too. I would also feel bad if the deal doesn't happen. Yeah, the price tag is another thing...but that's one position Arsenal needs to cover, and Partey fits it like a Glove. I remember when Wenger was in charge we were heavily linked with Victor Wanyama, the same type of player....I hope Arsenal covers that position this time with Partey.

    Guendouzi is also linked the other way, so that might keep the price down a bit, if they reach an agreement.

    I'm curious about the players that were once linked with Arsenal under the Wenger era. So many great players were apparently close to a move to the club…
