  2. What's happening?published at 11:28 British Summer Time 18 September 2021

    Today, we have another six games that will help further sculpt the English top-flight in this embryonic stage of 2021-22.

    For those former Super League club junkies, Liverpool and Manchester City are both at home, for the rubber-neckers Arsenal are away at Burnley and for those keen on early six-pointers Norwich host Watford.

    First though, we are to Molineux, where the new attack-minded Wolves host the Premier League's newest boys Brentford.

  3. Taking shapepublished at 11:23 British Summer Time 18 September 2021

    I think it's fair to say that this Premier League season is already starting to take shape. There's nothing definitive you can draw from four or five games of course, but the first inklings of where this might be heading are there.

    Barring Everton's impertinence, the top four is composed largely of the clubs you'd expect to end up there. And Manchester City - the fourth of these mega-moneyed, monopolising musketeers are just a point behind.

    That leaves the other 16 to focus, with varying degrees of success on that one aim that overrides everything else - to not go down.
