Sheffield_United - Brentford

1st game if the new season and are my players ready hopefully they are i want a much better season then last season i could have 4 players making there debuts but what ever happens lets try get at least a point

Brighton and Hove Albion start the new season away at West Bromwich Albion this weekend, with a number of new faces present for the club, both on the field and in the dugout. Manager Will Schoolar was present for the end of last season in a temporary capacity, but decided to relocate permanently to the South Coast to try and pilot the Seagulls towards the Premier League. A number of new faces arrived during the off season, and fans are hopeful that Schoolar will bring his previous successes with Leicester and Chelsea, both of which he led to the Championship title, to the AMEX.

Kyle Walker will make his full debut for the club after signing during the auction phase of preseason, whilst Andre Onana will take his place between the sticks for the first time in a competitive match after an excellent season last year with Championship rivals Stoke City. Sander Berge and James Ward Prowse both start in midfield despite both being transfer listed over the summer, with Ward Prowse linked with a move to Brentford during that time.

Lucien Agoume returns to the first team setup after spending the tail end of last season in the U23 squad, and is likely to start here in place of Marco Verratti. Up front, Schoolar has the choice between recently appointed captain Jordi Ferrer and recent summer signings Michy Batshuayi (signed from Aston Villa) and Son Heung-Min (who arrived from Stoke City).

Manchester City v DERBY COUNTY

We have had a couple of games to bed in the new players and hopefully that will help us get off to a flying start in the league.
Last season we started slowly and just missed out on the playoffs and so the aim to get at least a playoff spot.
No fitness or injury worries for this one

West_Ham_United - Leeds_United

Not sure what to expect in our first game against Leeds United but going to try something different from last season and hope to get off to a winning start.
