The majority of the Premier League clubs have now begun their pre-season with the opening friendlies of the summer. After several days of fixtures, we’ve duly updated our exhaustive pre-season guide section to reflect the results, team lineups and general pointers from recent matches.
It’s early days of course so the starting lineups remain experimental, with many sides alternating the elevens or even splitting their squads over two matches. Nonetheless, it’s good practice to track progress as the pre-season fixtures go by and perhaps get some insight into tactics, form and formation. On that note, we couldn’t help but notice that Mauro Boselli got on the scoresheet in Wigan’s first friendly. Fancy that.
With Sunderland, West Brom and Stoke all in action today, look out for further updates on this page from tomorrow.
