Exploring the key talking points from the Premier League and the moments to look out for this week
collected six points between them, all draws. The only other time was in 1993-94, when Newcastle, West Ham and Swindon Town only managed two draws. Never before in the 31 previous Premier League seasons have the promoted trio failed to get a single point from their first three games.In other words: for the collected promoted clubs, this is the worst opening to a season in the history of the Premier League.The flaws in all three are relatively clear.
This is not to write them all off already: it’s far too early for that. Sheffield United showed some promise against. Luton can be extremely awkward and will probably pick up a few points simply by being a pain in the arse to face. Burnley could grow into it, and have been given an extremely tricky start to the season — Manchester City, Aston Villa and Tottenham — even if they were all at home.
But the only season in Premier League history when all three promoted teams have gone straight back down was 1997-98. You fear that 2023-24 has a chance of being the second.Thought the transfer window was over? Think again! English clubs still have the chance to offload their unwanted players to Belgium , Greece , Turkey and a few other European countries. Happy deadwood week!
The other big one is, of course, Saudi Arabia, whose clubs are permitted to recruit new players until September 7. The big continuing rumour is of course whether Al Ittihad will succeed in their very persistent attempts to recruit Salah, but there will be others too, no doubt. England are in action: they will face Ukraine in Wroclaw, Poland on Saturday in a Euro 2024 qualifier, then a friendly at Hampden Park against Scotland next Tuesday, September 12.
