The new Premier League season is approaching. It promises to be another exhilarating season, full of twists and surprises. With Chelsea convincingly capturing their fifth Premier League title under Antonio Conte’s first full season in charge, rivals have been actively acquiring new reinforcements throughout the summer to knock them of their perch.

Last year, Chelsea lost the English Premier League horribly. Its performance was really bad and the team was not in its form. Even in the beginning of the Premier League 2016-17 season, Chelsea did not perform so well. It got thrashed by Arsenal. Antonio Conte, the manager of Chelsea, was rebuked for his coachmanship. However six weeks into the latest season of the league, the Italian made the most dramatic turnarounds in his team.

The year 2016 saw many flop players in the English Premier League.

The transfer window of January will be opening soon. This window will provide English Premier League football teams with the opportunity to make some main additions to their football squad. This year January transfer window will be different for everyone, depending on the club they support. Fans of different clubs will get some optimism after their club through transfers at such an important stage of the football season. Although, most of the deals in the January transfer window will not send your pulse racing, a few prospective deals will give football fans a major treat.

Different football teams have different players with their own characteristics. Some are good in defending and some are good in attacking. Moreover, some are even very good at goalkeeping. The attributes of a football player is what decides his place in a football match, whether in the English Premier League or some other match. Talking about the different teams and their attributes, today we will discuss about the best defense teams in the Premier League, in addition to the best defenders.

We’re almost halfway through the Premier League season and the chance to shine has arrived for many of the English game’s promising youngsters.

This season the EPL has been much more competitive as compared to its previous years, which makes it difficult to predict which club will get to the number one spot. This season too is quite interesting just like every other season of the EPL and perhaps even more so. But, the main question here is like Leicester City won the title last season, which team will win the title in the current season of the league. There are 5 or 6 teams, all of which can win the title.

At half-time at the Emirates, Arsenal were 3 – 0 to the good. Chelsea, utterly destroyed, desperately needed to instil some defensive fortitude into their performance. Keenly aware of the corrosive effect that a mauling would inflict on morale, Antonio Conte turned to a system he knew well and favoured: 3 – 4 – 3. The Blues didn’t concede any more on that afternoon and nor, in the Premier League at least, done so since.
