Arne Slot’s Liverpool start the new campaign with just one goal in mind – to defend the title. This summer the Reds lost the influential Trent Alexander-Arnold who moved to Real Madrid, but reinforced the squad with players like Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez. This means that Liverpool now looks even scarier than before.

For Bournemouth keeping the manager Andoni Iraola was the most important thing. The Spanish tactician turned the Cherries into one of the most likeable teams in England at the moment. And now Iraola can prove his qualities once again.
