Todays 3pm Premier League matches
Preamble
The Premier League is back, and all three 3pm kick-offs have the look of important matches. Bournemouth looked mustard in attack against Liverpool, less so in defence, while Wolves were prized apart by nu-Manchester City. Burnley’s fabled defence was a horror story in losing 3-0 at Tottenham while Sunderland lived the dream against West Ham. After last night, was that such a brilliant result? Brentford had their own nightmare last week in losing 3-1 at new crisis club Nottingham Forest and now face PSR-problematic Aston Villa, a club forced to sell to buy, and fans dissatisfied at the rulebook.
There’s no such thing as gentle beginning in the Premier League. All the latest from those matches, plus news from the EFL and the Bundesliga.
