2 hours to kickoff: Liverpool are betting favourites to repeat as Premier League champions, but they have significant competition, according to the bookmakers. Arsenal and Man City are both expected to challenge hard, and the 2025/26 season is expected to be a close title battle. Who do you think will win the league this year?

Joe Gomez has returned to training ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League opener against Bournemouth at Anfield today after three weeks out. The long-serving defender has recovered from the Achilles injury that forced him to leave the club’s pre-season tour of Asia last month and return home to Merseyside for treatment.
