Premier League clubs are well underway with their preseason preparations ahead of the 2020/21 campaign.

Handy link here for preseason fixtures and results.

West ham had 2 teams out today and won 4-1 away at Ipswich (Haller hatty and Soucek goal) and 5-1 away at Wycombe (Own goal, Masuaku, Lanzini, Bowen brace).

Newcastle won 3-0 against Crewe Alexandra (Carroll, Atsu and Fernandez on target.)

Sheffield United's friendly against Dundee United was abandoned at half-time due to torrential rain.

Rhian Brewster bagged a brace to salvage a 2-2 draw for Liverpool against RB Salzburg.

Crystal Palace are in action at home to Oxford United (0-0 currently in first half).

EDIT: 2-1 win for Palace ; Zaha and McArthur goals.

Ziyech picked up a knock. He walked off the field though so didn't look too bad, assuming it was just a precaution

PEA goal. Great finish

Edit: Nketiah assist I think

My mistake, too busy looking at my phone and thought the commentator said Nketiah.

Saka playing himself into my team.

Had a few thoughts about arsenal and doing somethings with pepe and Tierney but that team has shelved those plans 100%

CSF

Can see Robertson's ownership being alot higher at the end of this game than it was at the start. Do I dare go TAA and Robertson double for the first few and leave Salah until he becomes more of a captaincy option?

Porthallian

AMN having a fantastic game for Arsenal. They may reconsider selling him to Wolves.

Very surprised they're willing to sell him, he's been excellent since the restart. But it may be him pushing for it as he wants to play in midfield more.

How are the FPL prospects looking?

Trying to read the two soccer forum threads but not really getting much.

Salah quiet it seems. How's Aubameyang looking other than the goal?

For anyone wondering about the final result in the Community Shield:

Arsenal won 5-4 on pens after Minamino had equalised for Liverpool.

Good thread here by a Chelsea fan on Twitter on their assets from an FPL point of view after their 1-1 draw with Brighton today.

Where was Pepe yesterday? Not even on the bench, injured? He started the cup final so I presume he’s a still a starter

He's self isolating apparently.
