The start of 2024-25 Premier League season is just around the corner. We already had the Community Shield this weekend (Manchester City beating Manchester United on penalties) and the lower leagues have already started play. We begin next weekend; this is our final preseason preparatory match.
Cole Palmer and Marc Cucurella, freshly back from extended holidays, are both in the squad, with the latter starting, even. Disasi and Jackson are in the squad for the first time all summer as well. Reece James misses out with a new hamstring injury.
Enzo Fernández is your captain. Ummm… lessons learned then I guess?
Here we go!
