After its coronavirus-enforced hiatus, the English Premier League (EPL), watched by fans across the world - including Namibians, returns with Arsenal up against Manchester City in a blockbuster match, with Aston Villa set to face Sheffield United.
Fans who spoke to Namibian Sun shared what they missed or didn't, as well as their predictions for tonight's matches.
Fan predictions
Martha Ankambo: “If anything, I don't miss the pundits! Those guys are cruel, especially when United is losing. I predict a City and Sheffield win. No scores from my side.”
Sonya Somses: “Aston Villa will lose 1-2 against Sheffield, and City will hammer the Gunners 3 – 1.”
Peter David: “I miss everything except the video assistant referee. Something serious needs to be done for the following season to change the system.”
Kingston Moses: “I miss reading about football as well as talking about football every single day of the week. Football matches over the weekend give one a certain structure.” Kina Filemon: “I read that stadiums will be empty, but restarting is good news. Let the games be played and the season come to an end.”
Wylles Dale: “The EPL is enjoyed all over the world by men and women alike. With the new set of rules and regulations obviously it will be different, but I look forward to some action on TV.”
As it stands
From now on, it's pretty much wall-to-wall football, with matches set for every day of the week to ensure the league concludes before the Uefa-mandated deadline of 2 August.
As it stands, Liverpool is in possession of a 25-point (82 points in total) lead at the top of the table and are nailed to be crowned champions.
In second, defending champions City with 57 points are just ahead of Leicester City with 53.
Chelsea are in fourth with 48 points and Manchester United are in fifth with 45. Facing relegation are Bournemouth (27), Villa (25) and Norwich City (21).
