2020/21 Premier League Discussion Thread - Season start September 12-9-2020

[Calderyon]

Discussion about the 2020-21 Premier League season.

The Sky news story was old news without any relevant updates, so I deleted it.

[Calderyon]

This news story suggests two dates, Saturday August 29 and Saturday September 12.

When will Premier League 2020-21 start and finish? Teams involved and all you need to know

Ryan Kelly

As the 2019-20 campaign comes to a close, Goal takes a look at when the new one begins and ends
It won't be long after the curtain falls on the 2019-20 Premier League season that the 2020-21 campaign kicks off.

Having resumed play on June 17 following the coronavirus-enforced lockdown period, Premier League clubs will have squeezed nine (and a bit) matchdays into the space of a month, with the last games of the season being played on July 26. The FA Cup final will then bookend the term on August 1.

So when exactly will the next Premier League season begin? Will clubs have much of a pre-season?

Goal takes a look at the dates and which teams will be involved as English football looks to rebuild in the aftermath of the pandemic.

There are currently two potential 2020-21 Premier League start dates: Saturday August 29 or Saturday September 12.

The Daily Mirror reports that the Football Association favours an August start date, a position that is understood to be influenced by the fact that England's UEFA Nations League fixtures against Iceland and Denmark are scheduled for September 5 and 8 respectively.

However, Premier League clubs themselves are reportedly more keen on the September start date and it is understandable given that their players will have just played out a gruelling end to the 2019-20 season.

In normal circumstances, teams are granted a three-month break from competitive action, with the league season usually concluding in May and starting up again in August.

Pre-season, the period when players hone their match fitness, tends to kick off around a month before the first competitive games, but that will be impossible ahead of the 2020-21 season.

When will Premier League 2020-21 finish?
The finish date for the 2020-21 Premier League season has not yet been confirmed, but it is expected to be wrapped up in May 2021 in order to minimise further disruption to normal schedules.

If the league commences at the end of August or start of September, it is entirely achievable to finish in May.

Indeed, it would be even more likely if, as has been speculated, the Carabao Cup is temporarily scrapped in order to ease fixture congestion, thus freeing up fixture slots.

Which teams will be involved in Premier League 2020-21?
There will be 20 clubs in the 2020-21 Premier League and a number of them have already been confirmed as it becomes mathematically impossible for them to be relegated.

Three clubs will be relegated to the Championship, with Norwich City, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Watford and West Ham all very much fighting to retain their place at the top table.

The three relegated clubs will be replaced by three teams from the Championship. Leeds United, West Brom, Brentford and Fulham in the mix for the two automatic promotion spots.

The final promotion will be decided through the play-offs, with Nottingham Forest, Cardiff City, Swansea City, Preston, Derby County and Blackburn Rovers all staking their claim - though it has not yet been confirmed.

I'd go for the September one myself.
However it's only 2 weeks anyway.

Starts September 12, ends May 23

[Shaun]

Not strictly related to the thread but it'll have a big impact on the PL (and other leagues); FA Cup replays are scrapped this season. Unsure if it's just for this one, or for good.

I believe the FA/PL also recently voted against 5 substitutes becoming the norm for the season. There are some changes to VAR but I don't really understand them enough yet :skull:

The winter break is also scrapped.

Hopefully a Birmingham promotion to this League is in order.:fc::dance::joker:

Fixtures are revealed today, so we can all get the ball rolling on the prediction game and properly strategise our fantasy football teams :spin2:

I know there's no such thing as an "easy" game in the PL, especially for the first few weeks when everyone's still adjusting, but a nice little start of WBA (Home), Newcastle (Away) and Aston Villa (Home) would be lovely.

Harry Maguire has been arrested in Mykonos what an absolute weapon thinking he is gods gift

He was arrested for Voilence against a Police Officer, Bodily Harm and attempts to bribe Police Officers

[bots]

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has been arrested following an incident on the island of Mykonos on Thursday.

The England defender, 27, is on holiday in Greece.

The Syros prosecutor's office said on Friday that "three foreigners" had been arrested after an alleged altercation with police officers in Mykonos.

Maguire's lawyer Konstantinos Darivas said he denies the allegations and is "fully convinced he will be released without any charges" on Saturday.

Maguire joined United from Leicester for £80m - a world record fee for a defender - in August 2019.

"The club is aware of an alleged incident involving Harry Maguire in Mykonos last night," United said in a statement on Friday.

"Contact has been made with Harry, and he is fully co-operating with the Greek authorities. At this time we will be making no further comment."

Greek police said in a statement officers had tried to break up an altercation between two groups outside a bar and that the three foreigners had then verbally abused and assaulted one of the officers.

The statement claimed that after arriving at Mykonos police station, the three arrested individuals then "strongly resisted, pushing and hitting three police officers" and that "one of the detainees tried to offer money so that the trial against them would not be completed".

The police say a file has been opened which includes accusations of "violence against officials, disobedience, bodily harm, insult and attempted bribery of an official".

It is not known specifically what Maguire has been accused of.

That's not the image united like to portray, he could well end up on the transfer list

[The Slim Reaper]

Bruno for captain

Has there been any evidence for them doing it? Makes absolutely no sense to try and inject someone in a public bar when they could have just slipped something into her drink.

There was no evidence of her sister being stabbed or injected at all

Absolute joke of a court case. They got their 15mins attention and Fine Money I guess.

Only thing Maguire done wrong is going to a ****hole like that without any form of security.

We gonna suddenly take their word for gospel now after a half day of court with close to no evidence given?


You don’t convict someone of assault and ****ing Bribery within a day. Especially when you give the defence lawyer and hour’s notice of what the charges actually are before the case begins and then refuse to delay it.

The whole thing has been a joke. If the club bends over and actually strips him of the armband after the guy played every damn minute for us this season then we should be ashamed.

I'm stunned Leeds pushed Liverpool so close as this.

I was willing West Ham to win this one.
A good start was needed.
I can't believe Newcastle won this one.

This season could be quite weird.

Well Leeds always have fast starts to the season ... they’re probably gonna be the fittest team in the league - and it showed yesterday. Liverpool looked sluggish and unfit in comparison .

Indeed.
West Ham did win matches when they had to.

I thought they'd easily have won this one yesterday though.

Also, Mock, tomorrow's match is Sheffield United v Wolves not Man City in the fixtures.
You could lose points not changing it or adding Sheffield United v Wolves..
Good luck.

[Nicky91]

[Denver]

5-2 to Leicester

Best squad in the prem?

Outclassed, outplayed and totally humiliated

[joeysteele]

What!!!
Man City beaten at home 5-2

This is going to be one crazy season.
Daft Tottenham too, letting 2 points disappear in the 97th minute.

[joeysteele]

However well done to West Ham at present.

[MTVN]

Get the **** in!!!!

[joeysteele]

We don't have the best squad at all lol.

Its regressed badly.

[MTVN]

Ah we were so good tonight. Still issues at the club but we've actually got some great players in Bowen, Soucek and Antonio and defence put a great shift in as well

[AnnieK]

City need to look at their defence.....quickly.

West Ham played well....

[Denver]

Qt least we beat 2 of our rivals in the first 3

[Denver]

Can we not at both Thiago and Mane having the Rona

[Nicky91]

Chelsea - Crystal Palace now

[Nicky91]

confident win from Chelsea compared to the week before

wonder what Lampard had been saying in dressing room to the team :laugh:



think Leeds - Man City could be a exciting match

[Zizu]

Good test of Everton’s squad now ... losing three starters.

Luckily Sigurðsson seems reborn .. I’m not as convinced with Davies or Iwobi though ..

Only 8 shots on target so far this season apparently.. 7 goals though !!

Why the attitude ??

Let everyone have an opinion ffs

I like watching Liverpool, Arsenal , Wolves , Leicester , Chelsea and even Everton when James is playing but City are sooo predictable.. it’s like they’re painting by numbers ... plus there’s sooo many passes sent backwards..

It’s just an opinion

leicester could've won if there were audiences

[Denver]

I cant see past Sheffield United and Fulham being relagated this year, I think West Brom will be in the mix but I think they have a better chance of getting results then those 2

[Black Dagger]

Yeah. Sheffield are screaming one season wonder.

No doubt they'll ****ing turn up against us though.

[Denver]

United being 4-1 down and down to 10 men at half time is hilarious and people thought they were title challengers

[Crimson Dynamo]

man-ure stinking out the prem as per

btw Fulham wants to sign PSV defender Timo Baumgartl i had heard

[MTVN]

Good to hear, wasn't able to watch but amazed Leicester didn't even manage a shot on target so not like they were unlucky

Treble West Ham in FPL essential :clap1:

[Nicky91]

who is now currently coaching West Ham?

since i had read Moyes had a second positive covid test

[Nicky91]

also you guys are lucky to have Haller :clap1: :clap1:

i also know him from FC Utrecht, he's really good

[MTVN]

Alan Irvine, Moyes managing remotely

Seems to be a winning formula

[bots]

i'm saying 1 word .... grim

[Denver]

Penalty to Spurs

[Denver]

6-1 Spurs

[Crimson Dynamo]

embarrassing

[AnnieK]

embarrassing

It really is....:sad:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Spurs had 21 shots on goal today. United's last effort on target came in the sixth minute.

[Denver]

Man U should get relagated they are the weakest link of the 20 teams

[AnnieK]

Man U should get relagated they are the weakest link of the 20 teams

Well that's not true is it? There are at 4 teams who haven't won a game yet, we have only played 3 so bit early yet.

If we continue to play like today however, it will be massively embarrassing

[Tony Montana]

Awful performance from United.

Don't worry those teams will win when they face United

Whether they do or don't is irrelevant at the moment. Your statement was factually incorrect at this moment in time.

Liverpool fans never let the truth stand in the way of slagging off Utd :laugh:

Lack of break, pre-season, lack off fans, probably a million new covid rules and regs. These multi million pound players are feeling a little hard done to I think and its showing in the performance.
