From fans furious at Newcastle’s success to fresh Mourinho rage, what to look out for in the 2020-21 Premier League season
Having ordered the working public back to their offices despite the inherent risks involved, the government insist Premier League fans return to their stadiums even though many of them no longer wish to go. Having been locked out for more than six months, many supporters arrive at the conclusion they were only ever going out of habit or because they’d been institutionalised and realised during their time off there are more productive uses of one’s leisure time than paying through the nose to stand in the rain and shout angrily at their team’s on-field incompetence alongside thousands of like-minded individuals. Of course not all football fans are disillusioned and Chelsea’s flock to Stamford Bridge to run the rule over their raft of expensive summer signings and see how Frank Lampard plans to accommodate Mason Mount, Ross Barkley, Billy Gilmour, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Tammy Abraham, Olivier Giroud, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech in his team to face Liverpool. He pulls it off, with Abraham winning the man of the match award for his string of splendid saves.
