The Digest:
The Premier League returns this weekend with several fixtures that could produce upsets. Arsenal face Bournemouth at the Emirates, where the Cherries won last season. Liverpool hosts Fulham as they try to bounce back from a 2-0 Champions League defeat to PSG, but their title defence has been shaky. Manchester United welcome Leeds on Monday, but a 24-day break could leave them rusty against their rivals, who just booked an FA Cup semi-final spot.
Key Points:
- Arsenal can open a 12-point gap at the top with a win.
- Bournemouth have proven they can win at the Emirates.
- Liverpool could be mathematically out of the title race before kick-off.
- Manchester United have a perfect home record under Carrick.
- Leeds are riding high after reaching the FA Cup semi-finals.
