The new Premier League season officially got underway last night, with Manchester United winning 1-0 at home to Fulham thanks to a late strike from substitute Joshua Zirkzee on his debut.
Erik Ten Hag will be happy to get his third season as United boss underway with a win, and many of his fellow Premier League managers will be hoping for a similar result this weekend.
Arne Slot officially kicked off his succession to Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager yesterday with a comfortable 2-0 win over newly-promoted Ipswich Town at Portman Road.
Kieran McKenna’s side looked sharp in the first half but failed to take any chances. A goal and an assist from Mohammed Salah in the second-half put the result to bed.
Elsewhere, Amadou Onana scored on his Aston Villa debut as they saw off Julen Lopetegui’s Hammers 2-1 at London Stadium.
Bukayo Saka was the star man for Arsenal at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers. His goal and assist helped Mikel Arteta’s side to a 2-0 victory to commence their campaign.

In the two other 3pm Saturday kick-off’s Newcastle United saw off Southampton with a 1-0 win, while Nottingham Forest were held to a one-all draw by visitors Bournemouth at The City Ground.
Super Sunday returns this afternoon with two games scheduled that promise to provide goals.
Brentford play host to a Crystal Palace side who will be hoping midfielder Eberechi Eze can fill the creative void left by Michael Olise after his big money move to Bayern Munich.
