World Cup break, taking-the-knee changes and new rules that are part of the new English Premier League season.
Crystal Palace are hosting Arsenal on the opening day of the new English Premier League season on Friday.
Manchester City have won four of the last five titles with Liverpool’s lockdown success in 2020, the only interruption to the dominance of Pep Guardiola’s team.
Not since Chelsea triumphed in 2017, a year after Leicester City’s utterly unexpected title, has the Premier League had a winner from outside the two clubs in the country’s northwest.
The new season starts a week earlier than the last one and will end a week later too in order to accommodate an extended winter break due to the World Cup.
World Cup break
Given that the World Cup will take place in November and December in Qatar, the league will take an extended winter break from November 13 to December 26.
