FRIDAY: CRYSTAL PALACE V MAN CITY Palace were wasteful in their opening game against Everton and I fear that they could be in for a long season.

COLE PALMER - CHELSEA Palmer has a somewhat disappointing season last season considering the heights he's hit in recent seasons with injuries arguably being the main reason why. He'll come into this season off the back of having a full pre season under his belt to build up his fitness whic
