The English Premier League kicks off this weekend after some intriguing UEFA midweek games that saw Manchester City knock Real Madrid out in the semi-finals. Cityzens humiliated Los Blancos 5-1 to reach the final against Inter Milan. Over the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford played their first Premier League matches.
Harry Kane opened the scoring for the hosts but Bryan Mbuemo leveled the game and put Brentford ahead before Wissa scored again. Manchester United also started with Casemiro's opener for the Reds. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace took an early lead over Fulham at Craven Cottage Stadium.
Alexander Mitrovic scored twice to equalize, putting the home team ahead. Palace equalized in the 83rd minute. Liverpool were dealt a blow to their Champions League hopes. Jacob Ramsey's first-half goal put Unai Emery's men ahead. Roberto Firmino leveled the game late in the second half by converting Salah's beautiful cross.

Chelsea are gearing up for tomorrow's game against Man City, which will see the Blues travel to the Manchester City Stadium to face the strongest team in Europe this season so far.
The Citizens beat Real Madrid 4-0 midweek to advance to the Champions League final, and with the FA Cup final already underway, they still aim to win the treble.
Normally, in these cases, you might think that our odds have really improved. City play on Wednesday night while Chelsea rest, and their focus may be on the Champions League final rather than the league.
Unfortunately, that's not going to happen here. Pep Guardiola requires his players to give their best, and they are well trained to not take their eyes off the ball when at the top.
They have a deep squad to rotate after the week's hard work, and in fact, the win over Madrid was so complete that it felt like their team would come out on the pitch full of confidence rather than with weary feet. .
Instead of expecting an easy ride, we were really looking forward to weathering a storm here. Frank Lampard will likely drop into a five-man defence, and even that may not be enough to stop the onslaught that Guardiola is preparing for us.
