Chelsea has once again caused a stir with its new away kit. If there's something that characterizes the London club year after year, it's the annual release of away jerseys that always generate opinions and rarely leave fans feeling indifferent.
This is the case for the 2021-22 season. After unveiling the home uniform, which has a clear nod to the past, now it's the away shirts turn.
Come August, there are always a few clubs that capture the imagination with their audacious summer spending before inevitably collapsing by October. Usually this is Everton.
The return of a club legend, the signing of a highly touted prodigy or a loan move for a big-name player whose career has stalled (or preferably all three in one window) are the usual fixings for getting way too hyped before the start of a new campaign.
English football will limit the number of high-force headers in training to 10 per week from the 2021-22 season to protect players as part of new guidelines, the Premier League and other governing bodies said on Wednesday.
Headers that involve higher forces are typically those taken after a long pass of more than 35 metres or from crosses, corners and free kicks, a joint statement from the governing bodies said.
The statement said that initial studies showed most of the headers are taken in training and the majority of those involve low forces.
Manchester United isn’t playing around this summer and has had arguably the best transfer window out of all Premier League teams. Other than PSG, the potential Manchester United starting XI 2021 looks like the best in Europe.
The last time Manchester United was Premier League champion, 2013, I was finishing up middle school. Could this group of players be the ones to end its league-title drought?
LONDON - With Tottenham Hotspur confirming Érik Lamela joined Sevilla on Monday, the last of the signings — dubbed “the magnificent seven” — to arrive in the wake of Gareth Bale's $117.44 million sale to Real Madrid in the summer of 2013 has left the club.
What became of the seven signed in 2013?

Manchester United have completed the transfer of England winger Jadon Sancho from Bundesliga team Borussia Dortmund, the Premier League club announced on Friday.
The two clubs had reached an agreement for the transfer earlier this month, with Dortmund saying United would pay 85 million euros ($100 million) for the 21-year-old.
This is his home.
This is where he belongs.
For over half a decade now, Jordan Pickford has been billed as the next great English goalkeeper.
He represented the national team from the U-16 side onward, was playing senior football at age 17 and became a Premier League starter by 22.
Pickford was Sunderland's best performer in his first season as a regular in 2016/17, and he was even named to WhoScored?'s EPL team of the season in spite of the Black Cats' relegation.
Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Raul Jimenez played his first game since fracturing his skull in November, featuring in a 1-0 pre-season friendly defeat by third-tier Crewe Alexandra on Saturday.
Eight months of hard work and rehabilitation have led to this moment.
We're all proud of you, @Raul_Jimenez9, and so pleased to see you back out there.
Un amistoso de pretemporada, en general, no es muy relevante en la vida de un futbolista. Para Raúl Jiménez, sin embargo, el duelo entre el Wolverhampton y el Crewe Alexandra traía un significado ultra especial: era la primera vez que el mexicano tenía la opción de entrar en un campo de fútbol, de manera competitiva, después de la fractura de cráneo que sufrió en el ya lejano noviembre de 2020.
Jiménez llegó al Gresty Road con estilo, ocultando un poco la ansiedad que seguro sentía detrás de unos aviadores oscuros.
La fractura de cráneo que sufrió en noviembre de 2020, poco a poco va quedando atrás en la vida de Raúl Jiménez. El delantero mexicano se entrena de manera normal en el Wolverhampton de cara al inicio de la temporada 2021/22 de la Premier League, fijado para el próximo 14 de agosto. Su primer partido, sin embargo, podría suceder este sábado 17 de julio, en un amistoso ante el Crewe Alexandra de la League One, tercera división en la pirámide del fútbol inglés, a las 10:00 a.m. EDT.
