Key thoughts and analysis from opening Saturday of Premier League season

theScore examines the most important developments and biggest talking points from Saturday’s slate of action in England’s top flight.

Time for Martinelli to step up

At just 21, Bukayo Saka is the main man for Arsenal. The winger underlined his brilliance with a marvelous swerving effort from outside the box, helping his side earn a 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest in their season opener.

There are other Arsenal players who demand almost equal attention to Saka. Captain Martin Odegaard leads by example and creates chances with a level of composure that may be unmatched in the division. The gargantuan fee that the club paid for Declan Rice means the English midfielder’s performances will be closely examined over the coming months. Center-back William Saliba earned rave reviews for his performances last term.

Yet it seems Gabriel Martinelli is on a rung below those aforementioned players. If his display against Forest is a sign of what’s to come this season, he won’t be for much longer.

The Brazilian’s most highlight-worthy moment was the assist for Eddie Nketiah’s goal. He collected a loose ball on the edge of the final third and scampered toward the byline despite the close presence of Danilo and Serge Aurier. His pace and positivity weren’t enough to evade the duo, so the 22-year-old dipped into his considerable repertoire of tricks with a slick pirouette and backheel to tee up Nketiah. It was audacious and, most importantly, effective.

For Gunners manager Mikel Arteta, that might not be the most pleasing aspect of Martinelli’s outing. He works exceptionally hard for his team, almost matching his attacking graft with his willingness to track back. He spared Jurrien Timber’s blushes after a weak pass when he hared after Aurier – who isn’t a sluggish full-back – to reclaim possession in added time at the end of the first half.

Obviously, Martinelli will largely be judged on his attacking output. He’s scored 26 Premier League goals as he enters his fifth season in Arsenal’s first team – but hopefully, his 15-goal haul in the previous top-flight campaign indicates he’ll now be more consistent in front of the onion bag. Meanwhile, his assists tally of 13 over 94 Premier League appearances must improve.

This can be the season where Martinelli comes of age. The competition for minutes to the left of Arsenal’s attack should spur him on.

Brighton are more than Caicedo

Brighton & Hove Albion will never be about one player. Remove Moises Caicedo from an equation that’s already missing Alexis Mac Allister, and you still get the same progressive football that catapulted the club into the upper echelons of the Premier League.

“We lost Mac Allister, we lost (Levi) Colwill, maybe we lose Caicedo,” head coach Roberto De Zerbi said Friday. “I think the big clubs can buy the players, but they can’t buy our soul and our spirit. That’s not on the market.”

It showed during Saturday’s 4-1 win over Luton Town. While Premier League newcomers Luton defended admirably before finally conceding the opening goal in the 36th minute, Brighton played with enough swagger and confidence to eventually overwhelm their opponents. That’s because they still have players who can execute De Zerbi’s style of play. Losing Mac Allister and Caicedo hurts a lot less when you have a workhorse in Pascal Gross willing to cover all areas of the pitch, and Mahmoud Dahoud, one of Brighton’s summer signings, will only get better with time. Brighton’s tactical nous and creativity aren’t following Mac Allister and Caicedo out the door.

Creating chances has never been the issue anyway. Converting those chances into goals remains the obstacle. Even when taking into account the level of opposition – on the basis of Saturday’s evidence, Luton are in for a very long season – Brighton showed a clinical edge that neither Caicedo nor Mac Allister could offer. March remains De Zerbi’s most influential player off the right wing, and Evan Ferguson seems to score every time he comes off the bench.

Brighton’s success relies less on a player’s individual ability and more so on the player’s ability to adapt to a system. De Zerbi’s entire squad is full of system players, and youngsters who aspire to play for a bigger club know that that very system can bring them personal success. It works for everyone, making one player’s departure another’s opportunity.

Tonali becomes instant fan favorite

There was plenty to celebrate during Newcastle United’s swashbuckling 5-1 win over Aston Villa: Alexander Isak scored his third brace since joining the club in January, Anthony Gordon showed the playmaking ability that made him worth a reported £45 million, and Harvey Barnes polished off the victory with a debut goal.

But Sandro Tonali had arguably the most lasting impact on Newcastle’s massive opening-day win. His goal six minutes into the match set the tone for what should be an extended love affair between him and the adoring fans at St. James’ Park.

We saw everything Tonali has to offer in the flying volley that set off Newcastle’s rout of Villa: the commitment to beat his man, the confidence to throw his body at the ball, and, most importantly, the spirit to win at all costs. The crowd chanted Tonali’s name before he even scored that goal. The Italian showed not just the class to pick out a pass but the fire to nick the ball off an opponent and make Villa work hard to enter the final third. Though commentators immediately saw Andrea Pirlo in his game, he showed far more of Gennaro Gattuso on this day.

Head coach Eddie Howe must’ve seen Tonali’s blend of characteristics during his three years at AC Milan, and he must’ve known the 23-year-old would eat up the pitch in the Premier League. The pace of the game was never going to be a problem for Tonali. He was always more likely to excel in a league with much more open play than he encountered within the tactical confines of Serie A.

If Saturday’s match is anything to go by, Tonali will continue to have the license to press forward and run into open channels. He did that exceptionally well against Villa and put himself in a position to score a hat-trick. Howe now has two of the most explosive No. 8s in England in Tonali and Joelinton, and if he continues to encourage them to make runs into the area, Newcastle may have more five-goal performances in their future.

Quick free-kicks

Keep an eye on Brighton’s Adingra

Brighton have an incredible knack for finding replacements before they’re even needed. When Leandro Trossard left for Arsenal in the January transfer window, Kaoru Mitoma had already established himself as his successor on the left wing. When Mac Allister seemed set to leave, 18-year-old Facundo Buonanotte emerged as a potential candidate to take his minutes in midfield. So, whenever Solly March decides to leave – because more and more clubs seem to be taking notice of his superior scoring record under De Zerbi – it’ll be time for winger Simon Adingra to step up. Signed from Nordsjaelland last year for a reported €8 million, Adingra scored just 11 minutes into his Premier League debut Saturday. It won’t be the last time we see him.

Bizarre behavior from Guaita

(Courtesy: @TheSportsman)

What is Vicente Guaita trying to achieve? The goalkeeper already seemed on his way out of Crystal Palace after Roy Hodgson said he was refusing to play preseason matches due to losing his starting place near the end of last season. So it was no surprise when the Spaniard was left off the teamsheet for Saturday’s 1-0 triumph at Sheffield United. Well, no surprise to everyone except Guaita, who replied to the club’s lineup post with a peculiar and (perhaps unintentionally) cryptic tweet. Clearly, the shot-stopper isn’t the kind of player who simply knuckles down and tries to win back his spot in the XI.

Raiser Ruddock

After playing Sunday League football and subsequently earning £50 per week with sixth-tier Boreham Wood, Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu’s huge leap to West Ham United didn’t work out. So, when he made his Luton Town debut in front of 621 fans in an FA Trophy match at Staines Town, it was like he was starting all over again. Less than 10 years later, Mpanzu is the first player to represent the same club in the top five divisions of English football after starting for Luton in their loss at Brighton & Hove Albion. It’s an incredible achievement and proof that it can pay off to play the long game.

Stat of the day

Like horses at the gate, Sandro Tonali and Moussa Diaby couldn’t wait to get started in the Premier League.

Tweet of the day

Unless he’s changed his name to “FC Bayern Munchen,” Harry Kane misses the target with his name-point gesture.

Premier League

Breaking down thrilling EPL title race with 10 games left

Find the biggest stories from across the soccer world by visiting our Top Soccer News section and subscribing to push notifications.

One of the most intoxicating title races in Premier League history is, mercifully, ready to resume.

The quirks of the calendar – an FA Cup weekend succeeded by an agonizing international window – means the titanic tussle between Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City will have been on hiatus for a full three weeks before it gets back underway on Sunday.

But there are no more impending interruptions. With 10 matches remaining for each title contender, we’re barreling toward a resolution to the type of three-way battle that’s exceedingly rare in England’s top flight. There’s never been a season in the Premier League era where three teams went into the final day with a chance to hoist the trophy. This could be it. The last time it happened was the 1971-72 campaign, when Derby County won an incredible four-team fight, narrowly beating Leeds United and, ominously, Liverpool and Man City to the crown. We’re overdue for that kind of drama.

That three sides have converged this way at all is, frankly, remarkable.

These are the three best teams in the country by an enormous margin. They’re the only ones with an expected goal difference per game of plus-1.0 or greater this season. The next best mark, surprisingly, belongs to Mauricio Pochettino’s erratic Chelsea team at plus-0.36. So, yeah, it’s not close.

The three of them are also on a tear and show no signs of slowing down. Arsenal have won all eight of their league games in 2024, scoring 33 goals in the process; Liverpool have collected 22 of a possible 27 points in that time; reigning champions Manchester City have racked up 23 of 27 points. They’ve combined for just one loss since the calendar flipped – Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat against Arsenal in early February.

The only sides that look capable of halting their progress are each other, which makes this weekend’s clash between Manchester City and Arsenal at the Etihad all the more significant.

!function()”use strict”;window.addEventListener(“message”,(function(a)if(void 0!==a.data[“datawrapper-height”])var e=document.querySelectorAll(“iframe”);for(var t in a.data[“datawrapper-height”])for(var r=0;r

Each contender has a compelling reason for believing it’s “their” year.

Arsenal

Mikel Arteta’s men look far more assured and mature than last season when they set the pace for nearly the entire campaign, only to crumble down the stretch and relinquish their once sizeable advantage to Manchester City. Do-it-all superstar Declan Rice has been a transformative figure in midfield, while Kai Havertz, after an inauspicious start, is becoming an increasingly vital and consistent scoring threat. At least from the outside, there appears to be more self-belief within the Arsenal camp. Having learned from their experience in 2022-23, Arsenal won’t cede top spot so easily this time. It’ll need to be ripped from them.

Some may be inclined to dismiss their recent run because of their opponents. Yes, the Gunners have played some weak teams – Sheffield United! Burnley! Nottingham Forest! – but, for the most part, they aren’t just beating them; they’re blowing them away with a ruthlessness usually associated with title winners. For those still unconvinced, Sunday’s visit to the Etihad, where they were tossed aside like a rag doll in last season’s 4-1 loss, will be the ultimate litmus test to see if this team is ready to end the club’s 20-year title drought.

Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp’s persistent squad, already with the League Cup in tow, aims to send off their departing bench boss in style. Liverpool have been the most entertaining team of the trio this season. They create more chances than Arsenal and City and concede more opportunities. Darwin Nunez, the ultimate agent of chaos on a football pitch, is the perfect fit for a team with a habit of scoring late goals and delivering dramatic moments. Their title charge is built on more than just vibes, though.

Liverpool overwhelmed none other than City in their last league game before the international break but came away from the pulsating affair at Anfield with a 1-1 draw. City, usually self-confident and domineering in possession, simply held on against what Pep Guardiola dubbed a “tsunami” of pressure. There was obviously some added incentive at play, but Liverpool are built to go full speed regardless of the opposition. It’s in their nature under Klopp.

Manchester City

Despite not being at its vintage best this term, Guardiola’s accomplished crew remains the favorite in the eyes of many who, for good reason, simply refuse to pick against them. We’ve been conditioned to feel like City will inevitably be the last team standing because, well, they usually are. Five titles in the previous six seasons will have that effect on the collective psyche. However, Erling Haaland isn’t replicating his ferocious scoring pace from last season, and Kevin De Bruyne has been limited to six league starts. Also, outside of some electrifying Jeremy Doku performances, the summer signings haven’t exactly set the world alight. And yet, here they are, just one point off the top, showing the quiet confidence and tranquility that can only be obtained through winning experiences.

With Phil Foden leading the way and authoring arguably the best season of anyone in the league, City could become the first team in English history to win four consecutive top-flight titles.

Strength of schedule

!function()”use strict”;window.addEventListener(“message”,(function(a)if(void 0!==a.data[“datawrapper-height”])var e=document.querySelectorAll(“iframe”);for(var t in a.data[“datawrapper-height”])for(var r=0;r

On paper, Arsenal have the most difficult fixture list.

Their remaining opponents average 41.8 points this season, roughly corresponding to ninth place in the table. Put another way, it would be the equivalent of playing Wolves (41 points) or Brighton (42) each week. It doesn’t help that many of Arsenal’s toughest matches are away from home. Coincidentally, they have upcoming trips to Brighton and Wolves, along with north London rivals Tottenham and Manchester United, following this weekend’s potentially decisive tilt at the Etihad. It’s tough.

Manchester City’s task is slightly more forgiving, as their remaining opponents average 40.7 points or 10th place.

Liverpool appear to have the most favorable schedule of the trophy chasers, with their opponents averaging 38.4 points, a tally representing the haul of a team in the bottom half of the table. While that’s better than the alternative, it’s not quite so simple for the Reds. On the back of a potentially draining Europa League quarterfinal second leg against Atalanta in mid-April – more on that soon – Klopp’s men have three away games in seven days against Fulham, Everton, and West Ham. In addition to battling their local nemesis, who could still be scrapping for survival at that point, Liverpool will also face a rambunctious Goodison crowd that would love nothing more than to play a critical role in stopping their hated rivals from winning another league crown.

Aston Villa and Spurs, meanwhile, stand out as common foes for all three title hopefuls. Sitting fourth and fifth, respectively, and engaged in their own fight to secure a Champions League place, they could play the role of kingmakers this spring.

European commitments

Balancing the mental and physical demands of domestic play with continental competition is a huge piece of this puzzle for all three teams. Midweek success can further galvanize a group, but taxing failures can cripple a team’s momentum at home.

Much like the domestic schedule, Liverpool seem to have an edge here. Arsenal and Manchester City will face European behemoths Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in a pair of mouthwatering Champions League quarterfinal ties beginning next month. However, Liverpool have a comparatively charitable Europa League encounter with Atalanta.

If they both advance, Arsenal and City will meet in the Champions League semifinals, an outcome that will surely be celebrated wildly on Merseyside.

How those games intermingle with the league schedule also matters. Liverpool play Crystal Palace and Fulham following their two matchups with the Italian outfit. After locking horns with Bayern, Arsenal have to contend with Aston Villa and Wolves. Manchester City, still active on three fronts as they seek a second consecutive treble, host lowly Luton after the first leg of their Real Madrid rematch and take on Chelsea in the FA Cup semifinals following the second leg.

Injury concerns

Liverpool have been plagued by injuries all season. Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Andy Robertson, among others, have missed varying amounts of time, though the bulk of that group is getting back to full fitness. Alisson Becker remains sidelined and might not return until mid-April. Defensive stalwart Virgil van Dijk is the only Liverpool player to garner over 2,000 league minutes this season, indicating how disruptive injuries have been for Klopp’s team. And yet, they persevere.

Five Manchester City players have cleared the 2,000-minute mark thus far, and a couple more are on the cusp. But the club was without De Bruyne for the entire first half of the season, while trips to the treatment room ravaged Jack Grealish’s year. City also got hit the hardest by the recent international break, with John Stones and Kyle Walker hurt on England duty and racing against time to recover for Sunday’s match versus Arsenal. Swiss defender Manuel Akanji is in the same boat, and Ederson’s return date from a thigh injury remains uncertain. Never shy about tweaking his lineup, Guardiola could be forced to tinker yet again.

Arsenal have been largely unscathed, with six players eclipsing 2,000 league minutes. William Saliba, whose absence last season played an outsize role in Arsenal’s capitulation, has been on the pitch for every second of league play in 2023-24. Gabriel Jesus has battled ailments all year, and Jurrien Timber suffered an ACL injury just 49 minutes into his Premier League debut in the season opener. But the Gunners will be hoping their relative good fortune on the injury front extends right through May, especially as it relates to Bukayo Saka, who pulled out of the England squad to nurse a minor muscular issue.

Prediction

First, a disclaimer: Luck will play a pivotal role in determining which team is crowned on May 19. Injuries will continue to be a factor. There will almost certainly be contentious refereeing and VAR decisions that favor and oppose the title challengers. There will also be finishing variance, with players missing seemingly easy chances and converting more difficult opportunities.

Impossible to predict? No matter. We’re not going to let that stop us.

Considering their advantageous schedule, at home and in Europe, along with their improving squad health at just the right time and the inescapable feeling that this is a team of destiny determined to send their beloved manager out on a high, we’re going with Liverpool, who’ll collect 88 points to pip their rivals and again interrupt Manchester City’s run of domestic dominance.

Euro 2024 playoffs: Miraculous Ukraine comeback, big result for Wales

Wales, Greece, and Poland registered statement wins Thursday, joining three other teams in next Tuesday’s playoff finals for the three remaining places at Euro 2024.

Ukraine staged an incredible late comeback against Bosnia and Herzegovina in its semifinal to keep its Euro dream alive.

The highest-placed team in FIFA’s rankings that’s no longer in contention to reach the tournament in Germany is 60th-placed Finland.

Here’s how the playoff semifinals across Path A, B, and C played out.

Path A

Poland 5-1 Estonia

Estonia barely stood a chance. Down to 10 men as early as the 27th minute, the northern Europeans could only muster a consolation goal in a 5-1 loss to Poland. The Polish achieved the rout without Robert Lewandowski getting on the scoresheet and remain unbeaten in 21 Euro qualifiers at home, a magnificent run dating back to September 2006. Poland is trying to make up for a poor qualifying campaign in which it finished third in Group E, four points behind the Czech Republic and Albania. The country hasn’t missed the Euros since 2004.

Wales 4-1 Finland

The Red Wall might descend on Germany this summer. Wales’ raucous supporters have legitimate hopes of traveling to another major tournament after the Dragons scorched Finland without the retired Gareth Bale and with Aaron Ramsey, 33, on the bench after more injury problems. Teemu Pukki gave the visiting team some hope just before halftime following well-taken finishes from David Brooks and Neco Williams. But Wales needed just 73 seconds of the second period to restore its two-goal cushion via Brennan Johnson’s tap-in. Daniel James took advantage of a defensive error before rounding the goalkeeper in the 86th minute to give the host a resounding victory.

Playoff final: Wales vs. Poland, Tuesday 3:45 p.m. ET

Path B

Israel 1-4 Iceland

Iceland’s Albert Gudmundsson stole the show with an emphatic hat-trick against Israel on Thursday. His stunning free-kick into the top right corner canceled out Eran Zahavi’s opening goal for Israel, and he created a nice cushion for his country with a pair of markers in the final 10 minutes. Just before that, Zahavi blew an incredible opportunity to equalize the match at 2-2, missing a penalty awarded for handball against Iceland’s Gudmundur Thorarinsson. A red card to Israel’s Haim Revivo didn’t help the trailing side. Iceland is now a game away from making only its second-ever appearance at the Euros following its quarterfinal run in 2016.

Bosnia and Herzegovina 1-2 Ukraine

Ukraine scored twice with just minutes remaining in regulation to snatch what seemed to be a sure victory from Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday. Bosnia controlled play for most of the match and took the lead in the 56th minute when Mykola Matviyenko turned in Amar Dedic’s shot into his own net. But a colossal defensive lapse cost the Bosnians a chance to make it a record four countries from the former Yugoslavia at Euro 2024. Roman Yaremchuk came off the bench to equalize in the 85th minute and teed up Artem Dovbyk’s sensational winning header three minutes later to turn the playoff semifinal on its head. Ukraine now faces Iceland with a third consecutive Euro appearance at stake.

Playoff final: Ukraine vs. Iceland, Tuesday 3:45 p.m. ET

Path C

Georgia 2-0 Luxembourg

Two clever finishes from Budu Zivzivadze in Tbilisi assured Georgia of a place in Path C’s final – and all without the help of suspended talisman Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. But it wasn’t that simple for the host. Luxembourg thought it equalized during the second half, only for the goal to be eventually snatched away due to Maxime Chanot’s apparent foul 45 seconds earlier. Luxembourg’s Chanot was controversially sent off for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity, and Zivzivadze effectively ended the match six minutes later with his second strike. Kvaratskhelia is available for the final.

Greece 5-0 Kazakhstan

Anastasios Bakasetas lashed home a penalty, Dimitrios Pelkas headed into the net’s roof, Fotis Ioannidis tapped in from close range, and Dimitrios Kourbelis added another header. And that was all before halftime. Kazakhstan’s impressive 2022-23 Nations League campaign and notable Euro 2024 qualifying wins over Denmark, Northern Ireland (twice), and Finland suddenly seemed ages ago, as Greece recorded its biggest halftime lead since October 1978 (5-0 against Finland). Aleksandr Marochkin’s embarrassing own goal in the 85th minute made Kazakhstan’s day even worse.

Nike released a stunning batch of threads ahead of Euro 2024 and Copa America on Monday.

Days after Adidas launched its lineup for the summer’s top two tournaments, Nike followed suit with an array of colorful designs.

The U.S. manufacturer also announced redesigns for Canada and Poland, even though they’ve yet to qualify for their respective tournaments. The Canucks face Trinidad and Tobago in a one-off Copa America qualifier on Saturday, while Poland must navigate a four-team playoff to reach Euro 2024.

Euro 2024

Croatia

Home

The square-shaped design that gives Croatia its unique look gets a slight upgrade. The home shirt features larger squares than ever before.

Away

Croatia’s away shirt plays on the national flag, with the traditional checkered pattern now on a slant.

England

Home

Influenced by England’s 1966 training gear, the home shirt has a classic feel with a rich blue collar and gorgeous trim along the cuffs.

Away

England embraces a deep purple hue for its away selection. The crest stands out with a contrasting off-white tint that makes the three lions pop.

France

Home

France’s home shirt may have the biggest crest of all of Nike’s offerings. The oversized rooster defines this shirt as much as the royal blue that’s made France’s kits a crowd-pleaser.

Away

The pinstripes mirror the colors of France’s national flag and span the width of the shirt in a simple, yet elegant design.

Netherlands

Home

Nike could’ve offered anything orange here, and it would’ve been perfect. But the Netherlands has something bolder and better to wear. The zig-zag pattern adds edge.

Away

The orange collar and cuffs pop alongside the three shades of blue Nike has chosen to create the abstract design on this work of art.

Poland

Home

Poland dedicates premium real estate on the country’s home shirt to its imposing crest.

Away

Poland’s away shirt is a daring choice. The graphic treatment adds texture, giving it a rugged feel while separating from the red tones of years past.

Portugal

Home

With possibly the best home shirt in Nike’s collection, Portugal leans heavily into its traditional red-and-green motif with a polo collar and thick cuffs. The logo sits prominently as well. A smash hit.

Away

Here’s another winner. Portugal’s away strip has a stunning textile imprint that gives off a cool summer vibe.

Turkey

Home

This is a menacing look. Turkey will look like a whirring red army with these imposing shirts.

Copa America

Brazil

Home

Nike goes big with Brazil’s crest and adds an intricate design to the same yellow hue the Selecao have used for decades.

Away

Brazil’s secondary strip feels like the beach. A horizontal wavy pattern covering the entire shirt mimics the country’s picturesque coastline.

Canada

Home

The only blemish in Nike’s lineup. Why is there a circle around the swoosh? And why are the shoulders so much darker than the body? None of it makes sense.

Away

The 13 pinstripes are supposed to represent the 10 provinces and three territories that make up Canada. Unfortunately, the rest of the shirt looks incomplete.

United States

Home

The United States men’s national team gets a classic home shirt with patriotic detailing along the color and sleeves.

Away

The gradient works perfectly with the red shorts the U.S. will wear at the Copa America.
